OFFICIAL NOTICE! FAIR WARNING!!
I spent 42,000ish status points and some gold and purchased all of the crafting stations for our temporary guild hall! Then I went a step further and purchased "Depots" for crafting mats, fuels and ammo. I was so excited! I've been harvesting a lot on Kazzie just for this very occasion, so I put everything I had in the depot boxes. w00t!
So I proceeded to craft something... something very simple... and it didn't work. I tried it again several more times... no luck. The stations look like they will work and pull up all my recipes, but they don't work. Don't even try it because it just uses up the mats!
I will remove them (eventually) and put them in my house as a decoration. But for a little while, I'll leave them in the VC camp... just so you can see how cool it will be!
The depots DO work. I'll keep depositing my stuff there, and anyone else can feel free to deposit there as well. It gets them out of your bags! Everyone that is a trustee (should be all VC'ers) has the rights to withdraw from the depots. So take what you need, leave the rest! Take the fuel you need, too!
The Elaborate Crafting Stations (the real ones that really work) are considerably more costly - 492,805 SP, 87g, 44s, 80c EACH! Multiply that times 7.... (approx 3.5 million SPs and close to 7 platnium) .... yeah, it'll be a while before I can afford that. I'll be working on getting the woodworking station first.
