Cantina Crafters meeting for February 4th, 2012
I am pleased to present a brief synopsis of the first crafting meeting held today. Overall, there were a lot of great ideas and seemed to be highly productive. People were able to get help in getting their crafting questions answered and compare notes on what they had discovered in-game. Aside from all the crafting tips, here is a list of the major topics discussed:
Crafting group name
After a rather short brainstorming session, the name of "Cantina Crafters" was proposed and agreed on to be the name of our crafting group. Thus, we shall officially be known as the Cantina Crafters of Stonewall.
Crafting guide
There are numerous guides and articles on various websites all over the Internet in regards to SWTOR crafting, some quite good. However, any changes made by Bioware will make those articles more or less outdated and obsolete. Thus, we will begin collaborating on an "in-house" crafting guide for the entire guild to benefit from. A basic outline for the guide has been started and will be expanded upon as more information can be documented.
Skills Tracking thread
Now that a crafting group has been formed, we discussed the relevance of continuing updating the skill tracker thread on the site forums. Mention was made of the benefit of being able to determine who is working on a particular profession in order to discuss tips and ideas with those individuals. The thread will continue to be updated as people add their professions.
Guild banks
From all sources, Bioware intends to implement guild banks with the next major update which will apparently be sometime in March. The group discussed how crafting mats would be handled once guild banks are implemented. Most liked the idea of creating an alt crafting guild for the purpose of having a separate guild bank dedicated to stored crafting materials. However, this would pose an issue for individuals with one toon not having access to both the guild's main guild bank and the crafting material guild bank. The topic was essentially tabled until much more information could be obtained regarding how guild banks will actually function.
Crafting store
At some point in the distant future, we may be resourceful and organized enough to offer an item store within SWTOR. This essentially would exist to allow non-members to order items in order for us to raise funds for needed guild functions.
Future meetings
The general consensus was that a meeting once a month from one to two hours should be sufficient. If any issues needed to be discussed before the next meeting, we could utilize the website for communication. In an effort to provide a good time and day for the most amount of people, general consensus was reached to have the next crafting meeting on March 3rd, 2012 at 12pm PST, 3pm EST, 8pm GMT.
If I have forgotten anything or if anyone has any feedback or input, by all means, please feel free to reply.
