We ALL think that Master Artisan should have many better items that make the master block as appealing as some of the combat master blocks are to their respective professions. Here are some of MY ideas, please add your own too.

• Deck of Cards: Usable to play many different card based mini-games including single player games like Solitare and Spider Solitare as well as multiplayer games like poker, war, hearts, etc.


• Sabaac Deck: Special deck of cards required to play sabaac at a sabaac table. (Sabaac IS on the way, a deck added to the Master Artisan block would be a good addition I think.


• Electronic Binoculars: Luke uses a pair of them in ANH. Self explanatory.


• New Power-ups: New more powerful power-ups. Possibly make the specific stats directly choosable by the artisan. Also, allow up to three stat changes on one power-up.


• Optional Crafting Components: Allow the other crafting professions the option of adding extra components craftable ONLY by a Master Artisan to more items. These will be different than and in addition to the already existing optional components and will have the possibility of pushing items far beyond their normal capacities if experimented with well.


• Tie-Fighter Handheld Game: (Added with space expansion) This is essentially a working example of space flight and combat available to those unable to afford a ship in a fun mini-game format.


• Boardgames: Checkers, chess, holo-chess, backgammon, go etc.


• Brass Knuckles:Unarmed weaponcertified at Advanced Unarmed as a precursor to the vibro-knucklers.


• Electronic Notepad: Allows you to write and access text files in game which are stored on your computer. Also lets you transfer the text files to other players.


• Holonet Browser: (Unlikely, but I'm still suggesting it) allows you access to an in-game holonet which you can use to access in game news and explore the holonet, which might hold some secrets in it as well.

Well, that is about all I can think of at the moment. If I have any more ideas, I'll post them.

PLEASE post your ideas too. If this thread gets big enough someone might see it and take the ideas into consideration.

This goes along with my belief that Certifications for harvesters are a bad idea.

Master Artisans should be able to craft Enhanced Data Pads. These data pads could serve as the remote management terminals for installation and lot maintenance. With all of the harvesters out there, there would be a demand for this. They might also be able to do things like act as remote bank terminals, allowing us access to our money from anywhere. (I think it would break the spirit of the Bank Box to allow access to bank box items from anywhere.)

What goes along with your idea?

Actually, I wish that there was a new crafting profession that could program enhancements for the datapad. Of course the 'programs' would just be crafted items. No one would actually program. It is one of my earlier posts on these boards...and still one I very much like.

A programmer class would be cool, although It really should be a macro inside the game system that would allow for comunicating between datapad and harvesters, etc. rather than being just schematics that you build.

The rest sounds very cool as well.

I would like to see the Master Artisan be able to choose between several different pictures for his wares durring creation. Of cource I would also like to see the master artisan also be able to create his own schematics.

Have Fun,

<i>I just want +10 Artisan Experimentation and +10 Artisan Assembly. It's ridiculous that Master Artisan has absolutely no bonuses at all. Every other Master Profession gets pluses to that kind of stuff, it's not right for Artisans to get shafted. </i>

Well, pluses would be nice (don't forget clothing customization and survey while you're at it). But a BIG plus I think that would push a LOT of people to get Master Artisan (even some already Elite professions, would be to allow a portion of the Artisan general assembly/expiramentation to be applicable to the Elite professions.

Since at Master the General Assembly and both Expiramenations stats are already at 100%, say provide a 25% boost to any elite crafting profession, and maybe a slightly larger survey range (like the max range from Beta that got taken out?). Doing this would cause at lease some of the people who dove up just Engineering or just Domestic Arts to get to their Elite Profession to come back and get Master Artisan for the boost it'll give their "real" profession.

A flashlight!

The damned personal light does not do much. It could be a cone of light in front of us maybe 10-15m, only visible by us because othrewise the lag will be insane.

Advanced survey tool's that have a cert at survey IV. They would require rare resources for sub-component's that only a master artisan can build and would also require some type of renewable power source, maybe a surveying battery pack. Make it have to be equiped with the appearence of holding a metal detector. Make the battery pack look like some wierd back pack with cables running to the survey device.

Make sure that an expert weapon skill is required for the best result's.........errr joking

I've also wondered why theres no +stats for master. ALso, why do peronal mineing installations give building xp, but bone armor and atisian weapons give general crafting xp. Or has this been changed?

How about Firework 6 - 10? Or maybe even 12 - 17??? I mean where did these ones go? Or how about a working fireworks display package?

Master items should reflect something unique from all the branching professions, and better yet, give that profession's XP for a head start on first tier:

Droid Engineer - Target Practice droid (A New Hope)

Chef - Nerf Jubilee (Couldn't resist! Perfect for Pets.)

Tailor - Blast Shield helmet (A New Hope) Causes Blind if down.

Architect - Lava Lamp, Blacklight, fun stuff!

Armorsmith - Armour polish kit (change hue), and integrate Armour Attachments into Bone Armour pretty please!

Weaponsmith - Some kind of throwable metallic weapon (knife/shuriken), usable by anyone at 30+ meters, chance to cause Stun and Bleeding.

Merchant - Vendor +1

I say add a few more clothing, food, and weapon items, just to add on the items createable. maybe a clock work bird to go in the freaking bird cage.

I think stat boost would be the best idea. and the colors and customizations would be a true bonus and make me happy i have it instead of seeing it as a minor mastery that does me no good.

I wanna be able to make a Hologram chessboard set just like in the movies.. and then be able to waste hours and hours playing it..
