TRADESKILL RARE EVENT GUIDE
Beneficial events can occur during crafting which will prove very useful for tradeskillers. There are three different events, each providing a handy bonus for the skilled artisan.

?These events will occur on any recipe within the main profession fields. It doesn’t matter if it is a refine, sub combine, or final combine.
?The ultra rare is based off the skill you are using on the current recipe.
?There are no special events for the Alternate-Art (Cross-Discipline) skills.
?These events use the regular crafting icons, but display a unique name. To counter them, use an Art with the same icon.
?These events have a audible indicator when they have happened, countered or not. It’s a drum roll, or “the rumbling noise of the ward spell being cast.”
?These events have a visual effect much like the ward particle effect when they have happened, countered or not.  On failure it is a red particle effect.  See the individual events below for success effect colors.
Technique Buff (Uncommon) (name: [Profession’s] Insight)
?Countering this event gives +150 progress and +150 durability to the item you’re making. It also gives you an 8-minute buff that increases your crafting technique by 25.
?Benefit: This is very useful for crafters preparing for a tricky combine. For example, you may warm up by creating some components that trigger a Technique Buff, so that your final product will take advantage of this handy skill bonus.
?Failing to counter this event gives +150 progress and +150 durability to the item you’re making.
?Successfully countering this event will result in a purple particle effect followed by a ward-like effect for the duration of the buff.

?Note from Frizznik, former Tradeskill Developer, who introduced these events: ‘When I tell you that this event is ultra rare, I am not kidding. If two people, one harvesting, and one back to back tradeskilling, were in a race to get the ebon cluster? The harvester would win.’
