I think we have a few people in the guild that are exploring crafting the new gear. Maybe we can organise something to help the crafters get access to the resources needed, so they can help others getting gear crafted?
Since i dont really craft myself i find it hard to judge if it is possible and what the crafters would need. But imo it would be great if we could somehow have a roster, where we can see what we can craft as a guild, and what resources would be needed. For example if we have a forum post where crafters say what resources they are after and in which quanities per item, the rest of the guild that doesnt really craft can keep an eye out for it in loot drops, and send out companions on missions if they like.
I will look into if it is possible to assign a guild vault specificly for certain persons, if that is possible we can for example have guildies mail donations to me or other members who can access it to deposit it. If someone then wants a certain item the crafters can have a look at the vault and take what they need
But we have to be carefull that it doesnt get out of hand, for example asking for dosens of augements because they are cheap/free anyway. Else the crafters go nuts and the donators get frustrated.
I am willing to do some daily grind runs to donate a sum of money and drop the resources I loot, if there are enough that think this is a good idea.
At the bare minimum perhaps as a start, Crafters could list in here what high end mods ect they can craft and what resources they require. If we get enough info together l could turn it into a spreadsheet and paste it on our forum.

I would be happy to contribute to this too. Both on the donating and crafting side.
At the moment I am able to craft MK-9 Augment kits, for which i need 10 MK-9 Component peices per kit. I can Also craft the Artifact 28 Absorb Augments, i will add the matts i need for that later (cant remember what they are, but its basically 4 peices of the slicing 450 puprle drops per augment).
Hopefully soon I will also be able to make artifact 28 reflex, skill, and shield augments.

I guess we will need someone to keep tract of these activities and have an overview of what is going on.
An additional idea to keep requests in a normal rate and keep the mat stock 'alive' is:
people that dont have missions to find the mats of their requested item, they could donate different mats of equal quality (or at least a minimum persentage of the needed mats), but from the missions that they can run, or the drops they get.
