Is there a reason that player crafted Apr IV spells are Treasured instead of Handcrafted? This has been such an irritant in broker searches for so long it's hard to understand why it hasn't been changed by now.

There was a reason given once for not changing them all over, but darned if I can remember. Of course, if they were handcrafted then NPC's couldn't sell AppII's.

When the game came out, all non rare crafted was treasured and players could make less than app4 on a failed combine. They were unable to make apprentace spells handcrafted because this would mean making all apprentace spells handcrafted, which is not supposed to happen on vender sold items. However, not that players can only make app 4 spells, they may be able to make just them handcrafted, though that would mean that the better app spell is handcrafted (technically a lower desigation than treasured).
Heh.. seriously? These are transmutable?? Wow.. I'm cleaning all the app IV's off the broker today and getting to work! Woot!

When searching for transmutables when I was leveling I used to just make my search for all attunable and swap treasured, legendary etc. That worked perfect. And I a seperate search for adepts which I raised as I leveled.
