All the recipes for lvl 95 handcrafted shields take araucaria lumber which is a rare. WTF? None of the other handcrafted recipes I've looked at so far use rares. Since I really doubt this is intended, my question is when is this gonna get fixed? I'm just glad I didn't start any rush orders on my armorer, since in the past they required making shields.
Saw no shields required doing the rush orders on mine on her journey to 100. Agree the rare req for handcrafted shield should be removed.
The rush orders don't involve shields. Multiple hours of writs can confirm that. Even so, the rares for handcrafted should be one of the easiest things to fix, yet isn't fixed.
