Mold's got a point...

(Editor's note: The following is a re-post from our old forum, originally authored by Mold. Please see the 2nd post in this thread for an alternative recipe using weaponsmith instead of armorsmith, which may now be cheaper.) Rumor has it that provisioner tokens are required for the soon(?)-to-be-released legendary armor. 50 tokens per armor piece, so they say. 300 in total. But they are stuck behind a time gate, so you may want to get started on those now. You get one token by turning in one of a specific set of a rare weapon or armor pieces to one of the 12 Faction Provisioners, who are scattered around the HoT maps. They each give out one token per day. I have a little system to do this fairly quickly, which I'll share here. Note that I skip two of the Provisioners because they require Apothecary-stated items (Karka shells are expensive). So, this gets 10 tokens per day. Note: You may need to buy the recipes for the insignias before crafting. The Giver's Embroidered Silk Insignia can be found on the TP, but the others are all karma buys from the armorsmithing vendor. Also Note: each vendor will accept any of 6 different items. I chose these 10 of the 60 possible for their relative cheapness at the time of posting and for the simplicity of crafting all with a single crafting profession.

If anyone is interested, I've come up with an alternative recipe for your 10 daily trade-ins using weaponsmith crafting. I'll follow Mold's layout above and substitute the equivalent pieces and materials required. I switched to crafting weapons instead of armor about a week ago after exhausting my stockpile of leather. I also have a LOT more mithril and elder wood in my reserves, and happen to feel these are more frequently recovered in salvaging, making the weapon recipes more economical for me. But, as they say, your mileage may vary. Note: You may need to buy the recipes for the inscriptions before crafting. The Recipe: Giver's Mithril Imbued Inscription can be found on the TP for a few copper, but the others are all karma buys from the weaponsmithing vendor. Step 1: Assemble Your Mats The tier 5 mats are the same as Mold's section above. You'll just be crafting inscriptions instead of insignias. So, instead of cloth and leather, you'll use Elder Wood and considerably more Mithril: 98 Mithril ingots (196 Mithril Ore) 52 Elder Wood Planks (156 Elder Wood Logs) Step 2: Craft Some Stuff (Weaponsmith) 20 Mithril Plated Dowels Search: "mithril imbued" in your Weaponsmithing crafting panel: (purchase inscription recipes as needed) 1 Assassin's Mithril Imbued Inscription 1 Berserker's Mithril Imbued Inscription 2 Carrion Mithril Imbued Inscriptions 1 Cleric's Mithril Imbued Inscription 1 Giver's Mithril Imbued Inscription 1 Knight's Mithril Imbued Inscription 1 Rampager's Mithril Imbued Inscription 2 Valkyrie Mithril Imbued Inscriptions Search "elder" in your Weaponsmithing crafting panel: 2 Large Elder Hafts 4 Small Elder Hafts Search "mithril" in your Weaponsmithing crafting panel: 2 Mithril Axe Blade 1 Mithril Greatsword Blade 1 Mithril Greatsword Hilt 2 Mithril Hammer Head 2 Mithril Mace Head 2 Mithril Shield Backing 2 Mithril Shield Boss 1 Mithril Sword Blade 1 Mithril Sword Hilt Search: "krait" in your Weaponsmithing crafting panel: (or learn these recipes through the Discovery tab) 1 Carrion Krait Battleaxe 1 Rampager's Krait Battleaxe 1 Carrion Krait Slayer 1 Cleric's Krait Warhammer 1 Knight's Krait Warhammer 1 Valkyrie Krait Morning Star 1 Berserker's Krait Shell 1 Valkyrie Krait Shell 1 Assassin's Krait Machete The one outlier is the Giver's Mace, which doesn't have "krait" in its name: 1 Giver's Mithril Mace Step 3: Visit Some Waypoints See Mold's table above. You'll visit the same vendors.

Looks like we need a new forum called "Snakeskin"! Do temporary tattoos count?
