Before you ask...

We would like to offer some suggestions and items to consider prior to asking to have something crafted.

Resources - Ask what resources are needed and be prepared to supply the resources.  It takes time and money to get the resources needed to craft an item.  If the crafter supplies the common resources, be grateful as they just gave you something. 

Fuels - Every item crafted use fuels.  Depending on the level (Tier) this can get expensive.  Expect to pay for these costs.  Again, if the crafter waves the cost – be grateful.

Time – Someone is taking time for you.  Offer to pay for this time.  Also find out when the person will have time to craft for you.  It will not always be right now.  Do not pester the person.  If the projected time for completion has passed, ask for a new estimated time.  If the person can not do it in the time you need, you should look for someone else.

Protect yourself – if you are providing an expensive rare resource, don’t just hand it over to someone you do not know.  There is a method (Commission System ) that you can use to provide the rare at the point of crafting.

Rare Resources - Ask and make sure you know what rare you will need before spending time or money getting it.  Many people have spent money on a tier 7 rare for a level 60 spell, only to find out they needed the tier 6 rare.
