Commission System

               ==How a Commission Crafting Job Happens==
Among the changes to game mechanics in [[LU29]] was the change in the need to target a [[:Category:Tradeskill Stations|crafting station]] to begin a craft. The need for this change was not realized at first. It is, however, THE one critical stepping stone in the commission system.

To begin a commission job, the crafter opens his/her recipe book, finds the recipe, targets the "customer" (who does not need to be grouped, but must be in the same zone), and then begins to craft like normal.

Here's where the commission system kicks in. The crafter and the customer are each presented with a different screen, with the crafter waiting on the customer to proceed:

{| border="0" cellpadding="1"
|-
|[[image:commission_crafter1.jpg|300px|What the crafter sees.]]
|[[image:commission_customer1.jpg|300px|What the customer sees.]]
|-
|'''''What the crafter sees.'''''
|'''''What the customer sees.'''''
|}

At this point, the customer can add whatever they want to in the window, similar to a normal trade. Expensive [[:Category:Rare_Resources|rares]] or no-trade parts (new raid-dropped crafting or even HQs!) are all options. Also at this point, the '''''customer''''' decides on who gets the by-products of the entire crafting process (dusts from creation of adept spells and skills or slagged components from post-EoF recipes, notably all Tinkering and Altars). Much like a trade, both parties must agree on the terms to continue. 

('''Note''': SOMETHING must change for the window to display the accept buttons. This isn't an issue if you're using the system for something involving a rare or no-trade item, but if you're doing a no-trade tinkering job for a friend, where there are no items exchanged, most people just add {{Coin||||1|}}.)

Once both people have agreed to the terms, the tradeskill window continues to operate as normal and the commission window stays open to allow the customer to see the overall progress of the crafting process as it occurs.

|-
|'''''What the crafter sees.'''''
|'''''What the customer sees.'''''
|}

Once the crafting process is complete, the finished product(s) will go into the customer's inventory and the fee will go into the crafter's coin purse.
