epic skill dustcraft and halloween pots

new epic crafting skills.... maybe something new craftable to raise said skill like idk but example could be some new super potions (like the holloween ones) or craftable dusts seeing how there is huge shortages of low lvl dusts caused by lack of low and new players.

1. lets use example of dust crafting epic skill..
epic skill would be added called craftmaster, dustmaster or dustcraft: this skill along with a new LG tool would be needed to craft epic dusts (skills required step up to make higher dusts like other skills) .
dustcraft should also make use of overlooked an non popular resources that for now are just too cheap like possibly require sinues but should also require resins to maintain a set value to the dusts. this would be welcomed fun to nod im sure .

2. now an example of halloweens super pot crafting: also should be an epic skill. (and maybe to be fair to those that already have potion making skills this skill could be a continuation of that existing skill but to lvl the epic skill would require potionmaking to be at 100 first or possible like other skills the epic skill cant be lvl'ed past existing potionmaking skill) or not.. jus an option .

this skill could basically be used the same for the new halloween potions to be released by using/requiring this skill to be lvled and used to craft them rather then the existing potion making skill also could still add the need to purchase some new LG tool required to make them..

now added guidlines should be :
1. skill avalible at all player lvls...reason why is that it is just too hard for low and newer players to get or buy epics or even have them crafted because they almost dont exist anymore because of the shrinkage of the new/low player base.
2 this skill will require alot more xp to lvl then other skills(should go without need to say it cause is how other epic skills are)
3 mats for crafting dusts will require needing resins to be used so that crafted dusts dont have the ability to undercut the existing dust market

sorry its all so long an hope you can all make sense of it an that its not just dumb an lame but anyhow jus sum ideas , enjoy

lol @ master and krim.

I like the dustcrafting idea, but i disagree on the LG tool part, the reason why is because lower lvls would have a hard time affording it.

Why support a new Epic skill?
Why would we want a new epic skill?
NO NO NO ! no new epic skills.
This new idea whould further punsh new players from becoming part of a the game in a productive manner

I don't know that crafting dusts is the answer.....
Think about it in terms of new players and crafting in general. It's really not even close to being worthwhile for a brand new player to try and craft for the sake of self-sufficiency. I was going to try and do that when I first made my character (as I have done in previous games) but the tools were in cities that I wouldn't see for ages by N standards, I didn't have nearly enough storage space for all those tools/resources, I couldn't use the AH so I would need to resource myself, which again leads back to the whole having tools in random places thing.

New players are not going to have the gold to do this, period. Capped players are probably not going to produce lower-tiered dusts either except in leveling up the craft if it was available, for the same reason nobody sells anything but T29 dusts currently. If it was implemented, caps would passive it and not think much else of it until they can make some dusts that are going to turn a profit, much like any of the other crafts in the game.

An interesting idea....but not one that I forsee actually accomplishing much unfortunately.

Edit: I do applaud an effort at least though....epics/dusts are kind of screwed up system as is. After all, as a new player why would I disassemble an epic for dusts when i can just sell it straight up for more? Especially since even if I do dismantle it, those dusts are not neccesarily going to be the ones I need for the epic(s) I want. Currently only caps have any incentive to do so.
