Inscription - Mass ink crafting ETA

Community General Discussion

I have made this post in the professions category but it seemes like the traffic over there is extremly small compared to here. So here goes:

I got 4300 Ultramarine Pigments in my bank . This is because I invest in herbs to make scrolls, but sometimes I don’t have the time to convert all the ultramarine because scrolls only need crimson ink, so they just sit there and pile up. Someone might think: “Just delete them if you are not going to use them”. But they are used for rustbolt contracts and that is alot of money.

Without Crafting enchant : 1.5 seconds per craft = 6450 seconds, that is 108 minutes of AFK crafting.
With Crafting enchant : 0.8 seconds per craft = 3440 seconds, that is 57 minutes of AFK crafting.

Seriously, WHY don’t we have a mass ink crafting option. Some people don’t have the time for crafting this long.

Even if you go for a herbfarming run and come back with 1000 herbs it would accumulate 800 pigments to craft which is 10-11 minutes and that is not acouting for all the crimson and viridescent pigments you will also get.

If we were able to craft 10 inks at a time it would help out alot to the downtime you spend alt tabing from the game. And nevermind going away from keyboard cause you will get marked as AFK if you just stand there crafting for 15 minutes.

Yes! This would be brilliant! At the beginning of the expansion especially when I was milling everything in sight to try for veridescent ink for dark moon trinkets, I’d end up with a ton of ultramarine pigment left over and would just have to afk for ages to turn it all into ink. Given that you can mass mill herbs, mass ink making would make a lot of sense and would be a real quality of life improvement for scribes.

Initially contracts made a pretty penny when we were all grinding the rep. That quickly dropped off as more people got high enough rep to be able to make them.

They don’t sell for much now.
