My first dropped book!

[Dreadalus]

So there I was, in the Commonlands, whacking ghostly orc solos and pairs in a push to get another spiffy Bard song, when it happened. A chest, hmm, always exciting. Disarm, open, look at the book icon, and my heart speeds up a bit. Hovering the cursor, I see "Advance Craftsman 10." OMG, I'm a level 9 artisan planning to go Craftsman/Woodworker, so this is perfect for me. I know I can't scribe it, so I "Call..." back to Temple Street, dive into the wholesaler, and make the wood chips fly! I was sawing more logs than a room full of narcoleptics. Roots, coffee beans, whatever's in the bank, grab it and jam it into an appropriate machine, go go go!

Ding 10! and I'm a craftsman, yayyy (I had already talked to the woman in West Freeport about my chosen path). Dig out the book, right click, and...

nothing. It's bugged :o

I was so disappointed that I bathed the dog. Then came back and /bugged it, and said to myself, oh well, I can go join my fellow Craftsmen at the Architect's Bureau, that'll be a riot of camaraderie and commiseration!

The Architect's Bureau now has one member :eek:

Perhaps they will get the Crafting issues resolved soon.

[Ariadne]

woohoo! there were NO dropped Craftsman books in Beta.. SO glad they've introduced them!

[Dreadalus]

12 is bugged too. So it seems likely all of them are awry :(

[camille]

they are sadly :(

I saw that book for sale last night on someoen and I examined it and saw no recipied I was liek what is that about...

meanwhile lucky for me the guy had Outfitter refining 11 very cheap ;)

[Macord]

Aye, I got a bunch of advanced scholar and outfitter scrolls and one craftsman 18 the other day, and of course only the craftsman is bugged. :( Oh well, I'm clinging to it tightly in the hopes I'll be able to use it one day. Keept the faith, Artisans!

And while anoying, they may not be bugged... but actually empty :/ I.E. they have not made any "rare" recipes for that level of crafter.

the good news if it is not a bug, and it is just empty, when they get around to it add a recipe to that "book" you will automatically get it, you will not need to find the book again and rescribe.

[Osso]

I /bugged it a couple nights ago. I have tomes 12 14 and 19 waiting to be scribed. I believe they just haven't been assigned any recipes, and you can't scribe empty books - if you examine them no recipes are listed, unlike other books.

Hopefully this isn't because there just aren't any recipes to add to them yet! :D

I noticed something about them that leads me more to bug than anything else...All of the other books say "advanced" while the craftsman books state "advance" so thinking the typo makes it toasty.
