Also no Loom at Thurgadin while countless posts talks about having a Loom, heck, even Grobb and Oggok has a Loom, cmon, isn't that absurd?

And why are we unable to break bricks of velium with chisel anymore????

The farm/grind is insane to get the small pieces of velium, not to talk about how pricy.. 30pp

The Verant devs all but hated tradeskills. While virtually everything else in EQ (besides the graphics) was more or less a copy of DikuMUD, tradeskills were something new they added, which didn't have a precedent.

So, while they did add them, they were the red-headed step-child of EQ, because the devs were deathly afraid of players crafting things becoming more popular than killing monsters. Over time they realized those fears were unfounded, and from Luclin onward tradeskills got better and better ... but in the classic era they were borderline hated by the people who added them to the game.

TLDR; To the people whom ade classic EQ, having tradeskills suck was considered a feature, not a bug.

In era Velious tradeskills were a huge pain and so expensive. That's just the way it was.

Even then its way better than classic and Kurnark.

this post randomly reminded me of how packed thurgadin was on my server. it felt like a huge social networking hub and was a fun place to hang out in between hunts.

I wonder if Nexii has ever been Velium Boned.

The real way to do it is to have monsters drop things that you craft into armor
