I was discussing this with a group earlier, and thought I'd put it out here for a wider view on the subject: why is crack so difficult to find here?

Most places I go, SoW and other druid buffs are in abundance, cleric buffs and mage DS isn't hard to get and I've had shaman buffs pretty frequently too. This is all without even asking for it; for most players, it seems, if they have the tools to help someone, they'll use them.

The same doesn't seem to be true for the clarity however, which is strange considering how useful it is for any caster. Maybe it's just bad luck on my part, but only once have I been given clarity (ironically, right after having this discussion with my group today!) without asking for it, and never has someone responded to me asking for it in EC tunnel.

Is it simply due to there being a lack of Enchanters to dish it out? Is it more to do with the level of the buff - far higher than SoW, which no one seems to be without for long - making it less common in comparison to other class buffs? Or is it down to the Enchanters themselves having an unwillingness to respond to cries for crack, either due to the frequency of requests for it or because the value and rarity means they expect to be offered money?

Obviously, this post mainly relates to people buffing lower level players like myself, as there's no clarity available in a group even when a chanter joins, but I guess it's relevant to high level solo players, who probably need the crack even more.

Pretty sure the answer is all of the above. You answered yourself.

• Less enchanters
• Higher level buff
• Only one class to do it (unlike SoW)
• Some people get annoyed always buffing

Compared to:

• TONS of druids out there
• Available early
• More than just druids can cast it
• Get used to always SoWing people earlier in the game and being a buffbot.
