The following items are on sale from January 4-10. Below you will find the sale listings as well as our recommendation on purchasing.
Free Sample of the Week
This appears to be a renaming of the Universal Healing Potion. The description in the store actually says it delivers a Universal Healing Potion.
It restores both morale and power based on your level and also provides a heal over time effect so it’s not a bad little item to keep on hand especially for free!
You can get one potion valued at 50 TP. Get yours for free this week with coupon code: MPRP13

CSTM RECOMMENDATION: This is a short cut if your short on in-game cash or just really hate the idea of gathering materials yourself. The items you make will not be able to be traded or sold so if you plan to make something useful for others you will have to get real materials.
Crafting Guild Access
Improve your chosen profession by unlocking a Crafting Guild progression! Crafting Guilds provide additional paths of advancement for many professions. Membership in a crafting guild is exclusive – you may only be a member of one at a time. Available to Cook, Jeweller, Metalsmith, Scholar, Tailor, Weaponsmith, and Woodworker professions.
Store Location: Crafting → Guilds
Levels: Expert level crafting, or higher

CSTM RECOMMENDATION: Like the badge says this is free for VIPs. Purchasing will unlock the guild access for the account but you are only unlocking that particular profession’s guild access for the account (meaning you have to unlock the cook’s guild separately from the jeweler, etc). So only super useful if you plan to make a ton of metalsmiths which I suppose is entirely possible if you hop around on different servers. If interested in crafting and getting some the best recipes, this is a good purchase to pick up.
Scrolls of Craft Acceleration
Use a Scroll of Craft Acceleration to gain a bonus to experience earned from crafting! Affects all Cook, Jeweller, Metalsmith, Scholar, Tailor, Weaponsmith, and Woodworker recipes.
Store Location: Crafting → Craft Boosts

CSTM RECOMMENDATION: This is a way to skip the grind. It seems short being only 10 minutes but if you are fully stacked on material you can craft a whole lot of items in that time. It’s a meh as you of course could do this the slow and steady way. Note that this is only for the maker professions and not the gatherer professions of Forester or Prospector.

Question on crafting guild access? Does it open up just the next tier or does it open the entire progression?
January 4, 2013 at 6:06 am
It opens all guild access for that specific craft. So buying the scholars guild allows you full access to the scholar’s guild but you will have to work on gaining the rep with the guild yourself. No further locks requiring a purchase.

Did anyone else notice they didn’t have the one-day 50% off sale this past December? I kept waiting for it, and it never came. I am bummed, and concerned that they won’t have their summer one either.
