Hi,


I'm having the same problem atm. I decided to go Weaponsmith after the CU so i'm crafting some metal staffs, but i've also done some weapon crafting before the CU, now i have 2 different xp's here and even worse is that the new xp does not allow me to train in any weaponsmith box. So it is impossible to train Weaponsmith at this moment since the proffesion does not recognise the new xp.

My advice is to bug this and file a ticket see if a CSR can help you.

There is also a bug report thread in the "Live" forum, they update that and send it to the Devs every day, I'm sure if more than one WS lists the problem (say, me posting it for FS conversion, you posting it since you can't level WS on practicing) it should get noticed.

To my knowledge, "Weapon Crafting" XP is the pre-CU xp you get for crafting weapons. When I went to the village and converted, that's what went down. But now there's these two other "Weapons Crafting" XP and they don't seem to convert to FS crafting xp. If you move your mouse over their names and hold it there for a second, one is melee weapons crafting XP, the other is ranged weapons crafting XP.

Sigh.


Maybe I will have to apply for this open WS Correspondent position just so we can get this problem fixed.


I am assuming that this is issue number 1, correct? It seems as if you can't even climb up the WS tree with the new xp.

Tiggs is asking for our top 3 bugs post-CU. This seems a tad on the important side. I'll be sure and include it on that list.


Please continue to report dailyit in the bug threads, and I'll hit the dev team from the Correspondent side. Hopefully that will get it addressed in a timely fashion.

One question: can the XP you earn post-CU be used to acquire skill boxes? Or is that borked as well?

EDIT: Never mind, found reply in earlier response. Will make sure this gets noticed.

Quoting Fytos from earlier in the thread:

It appears that there are 2 new crafting types, melee and ranged. Maybe this was intentional so you could not craft ranged weapons and gain melee crafting boxes. An excellent idea, if I do say so. However, I think an important part of good ideas is that they WORK . I think the naming conventions are what are screwed up, as well as the code of training. Since the old XP was called "Weapon Crafting" and the new is called "Weapons Crafting" that makes a bit of a problem. They also need to code Paemos and WS Trainers to recognize the new XP as such.

I have a similar issue (I think) when practicing on Metal staffs from Novice WS (Gorath galaxy). I have gotten well over the 35k xp mark for the tier 1 skill, but it doesnt show any progress on my skills window, so I can't train for it! I spent a lot of time grinding so I hope this gets fixed soon (*cough* DEVS!)
