Bul.. special order contracts for blacksmithing

Drocket, nice job on that blacksmithing window :O)

So I thought I'd try out these bul.. special order contracts heh.

Are we supposed to get one everytime we job? This is my fourth in a row, haven't had a "regular" job yet.

Also, should there be a limit as to how many contracts we are allowed to do in a given day?

Also, when we add item to contract could we have instead "add item(s) to contract" and get a repeating target (like when we target gems) instead of having to click the blue button 20 times? Just a thought.

Thanks for your time.

Yep, you keep getting special orders unless you already have one or you switch to another craft skill or something :)

I get it now. Thanks Dell-Leafsong :O)

I guess if you don't have a lot of ingots it wouldn't matter.

Nevermind that, easy if you just keep your pack under the contract window.

Looks like I'll be Commendable by the end of the night heh. I'm sure glad I collected up all those ingots! This is fun! :O)

According to the changes page you are only supposed to be able to get one every 6 hours, so that should be a maximum of 4 per day.

Also, when we add item to contract could we have instead "add item(s) to contract" and get a repeating target (like when we target gems) instead of having to click the blue button 20 times? Just a thought.


I inquired about this early on and Drocket said he would look into adding that feature.

Hmmm .. If Drocket is looking into this, may I add a little enhancement to the request? Allow a selection button on the contract that will select any and all of the required items directly from your crafting bag (or a selected bag if no crafting bag set), which will just pull the required items from that bag without any additional targeting or clicking - up to the max on the contract (if available in the bag) or the number of the items made.

No, actually you can have more than one at once, since you can get a new one after 6 hours (and you can still turn in the old one).

If you have completed the last order you got, you can get a new one and you dont wait 6 hours. The waiting time is if you did not complete the previous order.
If you have a large stash of ingots (say you buy your ingots from a miner instead of mining yourself, or you just had a ton saved up) you could do a hundred orders. (hey I've done it, more time consuming than you might think)

Whoops, you are quite correct, I somehow seem to have not read over the last part of that sentance somehow.

Edit: Actually Im going to kind of reverse what I just said, actually on rereading that section again, it could be interpreted as either a 6 hour minimum time or longer if it takes longer to fill the order (this is how I originally read it), or a 6 hour maximum limit sooner if you complete the order faster, I really have no idea which was intended.
