"Everything counts in large amounts...." AFAIK: Combining salvage in any way counts towards those badges.

So - again, I ask - what counts? Does it matter *WHAT* table/workbench you use? Does converting salvage count? Does creating temp powers count? Is it just base items and enhancements that count?
[/ QUOTE ]Crafting anything into anything else counts for the badge - base salvage refinement, invention to base conversion, enhancement creation (common or sets) even costume part crafting and temp powers.
Several people actually got the crafting badges the day issue 9 went live and I myself got the 1000 crafted items badge long before I started on the Invention (memory) badges.

You can use crafting stations to:
Create Enhancements (from invention salvage)
Convert Invention Salvage into Component Salvage
You can use the temp power buff stations to:
Create Temporary Powers (from component salvage)
Convert Base Salvage into Component Salvage
You can use the worktables to:
Create Base Items (from component salvage)
Convert Base Salvage into Component Salvage
HOWEVER: What actually counts towards the crafting badges?
[/ QUOTE ]All of the above.
Whoa whoa whoa. So instead of selling all my component stuff...I can make things?
Awesome.

Yup - anything, even stuff crafted with Vanguard Merits, counts towards the crafting badges.

Merits too, huh?
I may just stock up on those cheaper powers, then. I think the mechs can be left and shivans used as my 'emergency summon' temp power.
I just wish there was a freakin' bar for this one!

Is it me, or have the fixed the work bench bug?
You used to be able to sit in the AH buy salavage and converting endlessly, as long as you didn't close the craft window...
Now the window auto closes when the table explode....which is annoying..I've still got 3k to go
I wasn't even aware of that bug - I'm doing the final badge normally - crafting a few things each time I'm in WW

Are we *sure* that processing salvage counts?
Mind you... it does take AGES just to do 1k...

It does (or did before i11, not sure since then) count when converting base salvage to components.

100% does, got 1 of the crafting badge while combinin the base salvage. Quick and easy way to get the badges, plus you may as well get the tempory buffs from them then also
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
Agreed. Working towards my 10k badge, I make a tonne of component salvage. I leave a lot in base storage for my SG to craft into temp powers, but I sell the excess 100's to make back some of the money I've used up. Well, persistance will pay off!

I have all 4 of my crafting badges on Nine. I got the 3rd and 4th badges before I even had my worktable. Most of my crafting came from base salvage into component salvage.
However, I must have crafted over 500 IOs on that one alt aone, if not more. My base has tons of IOs stored in it, for my poorer and lower toons to use.

I recently got Fabricator on my main after a year crafting. No grinding component salvage, just making and selling IOs...and made hundreds of millions of influence in the process

>Is it me, or have the fixed the work bench bug?
Yeah, it's annoying - you can't keep it open indefinitely. Mind you, you can sometimes keep it open for a fair bit of time after the table explodes. Question: Does it really *need* to explode? lol
>It does (or did before i11, not sure since then) count when converting base salvage to components.
Where there changes to crafting in I11? I'm paranoid that using a portable invention worktable to turn invention salvage into component salvage won't count.
Or, perhaps I'm impatient? 10,000 might just be a few hundred more away...

For those interested, these make pretty good reading... especially if you're worried about whether you should have the final crafting badge by now...

the bug that annoys me with the workbench is, sometimes when you close the window and move you can't click on the workbench anymore, it becomes untargettable, i thought this was initially to do with the placement (it appeared in the auction house staff and i couldnt click it without clicking the staff) but after testing placing it in the middle of the floor it did the same thing
@ExtraGonk
Oh! - It got moved *makes adjustments on roadmap!
Well, I've kept a tally, and refined/converted 1,055 pieces of invention/base salvage into component salvage in the last two days. That's 10% of the badge. Here's hoping that I can it if I keep up that pace. I'm keeping a manual tally. If I get to 10k and find it's not there...well, I'll think of something!!!

Yes. When the Invention system went live in I9, I suddenly got a couple of badges for making stuff and the only stuff I'd made was base items/buffs etc

I understand that creating power buffs and base items counts - but I'm talking about turning 'titanium' (base salvage) into 'tech material' (component salvage). 'Refining salvage', so to speak.

Yes, refining Base Salvage into Component Salvage counts - I've gained at least two of the crafting badges while I've been doing this.

; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*
You've made me a happy bunny.
I'm keeping track, now, so at least I know how far away I am in a worst case scenario.

I reckon the algorithm to take that process out of the badge qualification would be stupidly tough and really not worthwhile

I know this has been asked before, but I also know that a straight answer was never really come up with - so with month of crafting experience now behind us, I'd like to ask this question again (please note, I couldn't find the original thread!)
You can use crafting stations to:
Create Enhancements (from invention salvage)
Convert Invention Salvage into Component Salvage
You can use the temp power buff stations to:
Create Temporary Powers (from component salvage)
Convert Base Salvage into Component Salvage
You can use the worktables to:
Create Base Items (from component salvage)
Convert Base Salvage into Component Salvage
HOWEVER: What actually counts towards the crafting badges?
When the invention issue came out, I was awarded one/two of the crafting badges. I assume that I either got this from:
Converting Base Salvage into component salvage
Creating temporary powers
Creating base items
However - it's just not that clear.
So - again, I ask - what counts? Does it matter *WHAT* table/workbench you use? Does converting salvage count? Does creating temp powers count? Is it just base items and enhancements that count?
Plllleeeeeeaassseeee - discuss!
