While crafting, there are non standard "events" that popup for you to counter with your tradeskill arts. These are very special and VERY rare

Common infoEdit

• There are no special events for the Alternate-Art (Cross-Discipline) skills.
• These events use the regular crafting icons, but display a unique name. To counter (activate) them, use an Art with the same icon.
• These events have a audible indicator when they have happened, countered or not. It’s a drum roll, or “the rumbling noise of the ward spell being cast.”
• These events have a visual effect much like the ward particle effect when they have happened, countered or not. On failure it is a red particle effect. See the individual events below for success effect colors.

EventsEdit

InsightEdit

• Name based on the 20+ profession that uses the skillset you are using during that craft (regardless of the level). ie, if your making a L9 furniture craft, furniture=sculpting=carpenter=carpenter's insight
  • Sculpting -> Carpenter's
  • Artistry -> Provisioner's
  • Fletching -> Woodworker's
  • Metalworking -> Weaponsmith's
  • Metal Shaping -> Armorer's
  • Tailoring -> Tailor's
  • Chemistry -> Alchemist's
  • Artificing -> Jeweler's
  • Scribing -> Sage's

• Countering this event gives +150 progress and +150 durability to the item you’re making. It also gives you an 8-minute buff that increases your crafting technique by 25.
• Benefit: This is very useful for crafters preparing for a tricky combine. For example, you may warm up by creating some components that trigger a Technique Buff, so that your final product will take advantage of this handy skill bonus.
• Failing to counter this event gives +150 progress and +150 durability to the item you’re making.
• Successfully countering this event will result in a purple particle effect followed by a ward-like effect for the duration of the buff.

FlawlessEdit

• naming based on the craft also
  • ie, for provisioner: "Flawless Seasoning"

• Countering this event will cause the item you’re currently making to instantly become pristine by adding +1000 progress and +1000 durability. It also causes no components to be consumed in the production of the item.
  • Benefit: Think of this as being like a critical hit for tradeskillers. An instant pristine item! And you were so efficient you have enough supplies to make another!
  • Failing to counter this event gives +350 progress and +350 durability to the item you’re making.
• Successfully counting this event will result in a green particle effect.

Favor of InnovationEdit

• This ultra rare is based off the skillset you are using on the current recipe (NOT station) see insight for list)
• Countering this event will cause the item you’re currently making to instantly become pristine by adding +1000 progress and +1000 durability.
  • Benefit: Think of this event as the gods of Innovation bestowing favor upon you for your skill and ingenuity. Not only do you get a pristine item, but a valuable harvested component as well!
  • Failing to counter this event gives +500 progress and +500 durability to the item you’re making.

• It also provides the crafter a rare harvested item appropriate to their level range and profession.
  • Alchemist: Loam
  • Sage: Precious Metal
  • Carpenter: Wood
  • Provisioner: Root
  • Armorer: Ore
  • Tailor: Pelt
  • Weaponsmith: Ore
  • Jeweler: Precious Gem
  • Woodworker: Wood

• Successfully countering this event will result in a rainbow-colored particle effect.
• Note from Frizznik, former Tradeskill Developer, who introduced these events: ‘When I tell you that this event is ultra rare, I am not kidding. If two people, one harvesting, and one back to back tradeskilling, were in a race to get the ebon cluster? The harvester would win.’

Holiday FavorsEdit

Certain holidays have crafting events particular to them. The rare Frostfell Favor event does not grant a harvested item but a house item particular to the holiday, such as candles, sacks of coal or snowdrifts.
