Reading a bit up on the crafting mechanism, and it appears some of the professions (e.g. Blacksmithing) works best if you have a partner to help ramp up the skills. Curious if anyone in the group has ever gotten into the MMO crafting or not?
Used to do it on the side in DAOC and the like as you could usually make some good shit pretty easily, and when you got higher level could even make some good bank.
Discuss amoungst yourselves.
I have a blacksmith, woodsmith, and clothier.
My level 28 is the blacksmith and it is around 10 I think. You do get more xp for breaking down someone else’s stuff so I can see how a partner would help.
Crated gear is some of the best in game.
The only bad things is if you are questing together the nodes are first come, first serve.
The first come fist serve nodes suck. All MMOS should follow GW2 and make the nodes instanced.
Agreed - tho’ if we knew we had people that were trying to craft for the guild, then all the sudden can have people feeding in resources in trade for the output armor/weapons. Win win.
@D1G1TALC1PHERS do you have to specialize in one/two crafting per character or can you have one toon craft everything?
You have the freedom to do so, but you will be using the same skill points pool as your weapons, armor, magic, etc. It is better to focus on one. At all times you will be able to do the basic stuff from each professions. You just may not want to level them up.
Do you level up while crafting (ie. GW2?) or just level that profession? Also, is there fishing? I sort of miss fishing from the WoW days.
Each profession has it’s own level progression. As you level it it unlocks “perks” you can “buy” with skill points. Skill points are also used to level up everything else except magic, health, and stamina. They use attribute points.
Yes there is fishing with in game achievements.
Will there be Kayaks/Yachts?
I am an idiot or lack patience to ever fully get crafting.
If I read correctly, I think there’ll be a guild bank that you can drop mats you don’t need into and others can pull from them. Would be uber helpful if that’s the case…
If the guild bank is setup that way it is possible. There is also a guild store with in each guild so if you want to get some gold for what you have you can, maybe offer it at a discount for the guild.
You will also want to join a merchant guild, you can be in 5 guilds. People will start them day one. Why the put the auction house behind guilds I have no idea.
I hate farming and grinding…so just give me all your mats. kthxbai
The real question is, Is there Chinese Gold Sellers??
I like it when people give me all their mats. There’s one thing.
The Nirnhoned and Nirncrux negates 50% spell damage, so I plan to farm that but I’m mostly a noob with MMO so I’ll absorb all this info on the fly.
Is it wrong to make your kid play just to farm mats for you?
I mean…kids need to learn how to accept goals set by others and then struggle to achieve them for little or no reward, right? Sooo…this is an educational situation I’m proposing…!
Right…?
LOL, you can buy gold online. I wonder if that will be available for the SexBox.
I hate crafting. While well imprelemented in GW2, there was so much shit to do I just didn’t have time for (except healing items). I’f it’s not exploring, questing and killing stuff, I pass. Maybe I’ll just dump my crafting items to the guild bank.
The best crafting was SWToR. That was easy mode. GW2’s was nice as you leveled your character. Also, you need it for the best armor / weapons in game.
I’ll just pick a profession that works for me and follow guides online. Let the neckbeards tell me how to do it.
