Daft question

[Silveralex]

Just started out as a craftsmen and want to go on to carpentry.
Just made some chairs and bookcases to test them out in my own room before selling them and I've just noticed that the quality (shaped/pristine etc) seems to make no difference on how it looks.
Is there really no point to making sure the final product is better than crude or am I missing something obvious?
thanks :confused:

3 reasons why it matters.

1. pride

2. people want pristine

3. least important. quality impacts status points in housing later in game.

Thats what I thought.
In that case its any non pristine stuff for my own pad and the good stuff for the auction house!

i want to keep first of my items...cuz i't's my first..so..

my first item is always shaped now..so i know not to sell or give it away:)

it started with a shaped plate that killed me>< plate came out shaped cuz i died making it..grr..so i replaced it for armorer and kept it made chandelier wif it..kool looking chandelier too..anyways..not sure why i'm telling everyone this but..err...i'm a dork..

Heh, you're not the only one who's killed themselves on those plates! I've died three times to tradeskilling, even counting beta when things were a bit deadlier overall when they first added the reactions in. All three of them have been to the plates.

Death 1 was finding out that the bug on the plates that I'd submitted in beta wasn't fixed.

Death 2 was stupidity and slow reflexes on back-to-back nasty crit reactions a month later testing to see if the bug was fixed.

Death 3 was a long distance phone call at the wrong time while, again, testing to see if the bug was fixed.

Anywayyyy ... the other reason for pristine furniture vs crude is the xp you gain from making it. :)

The pristines definitely sell better, partly due to the status discounts (found in a thread in this forum as well as in a link off the furniture page), and partly due to the fact that folks like knowing their stuff is quality, whether it looks differently or not.
