    yes.

    Posted by Gaute (Game Director), 11th of July 2005, in Interview: RPG Vault Part 2 r
    There are many, many sets of armor, weapons, rings and other types of earthly goods to be gathered by the persistent traveler in Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures. The key guide to the uniquely slanted Hyborian loot is the darkness and violence of the universe. No pink trousers, no fairy-tale equipment. Realistically gritty or darker is our murky guiding star.

    The requirements for wearing any type of equipment in Conan are locked by the feats given out every second level, and a massive chunk every five levels. These feats yield the different classes at various levels. As in any RPG, you can acquire equipment through quests, loot from monsters, shops and making them.

    In Conan, the crafted equipment is slated to hold a very special place in the object hierarchy. The player-made items are the only ones where you can insert socket gems - thus their role will be that of flexibility and adaptability. The crafting system is a no-nonsense, quick approach where the focus is on being quick and usable, not quasi-realistic.

    see also the game preview on crafting.

    And to make something clear:

    Every prestige class has some crafting ability, but the crafter one has the most.

    You can craft without being in a guild, but the highest teir of crafting you will beed to be in a Clan to access it..

    And.. um... the best items in the game will be crafted, so no gay ass raid grinding for gear ala EQ/WoW

    There are many, many people who primarily craft in MMOs?

    What sort of boring person would play an MMO to craft virtual items and get virtual money for their real work?

    Sure, look at swg that game has lots of crafters on every server. I Take it you had some undesireable times with the crafting processes?

    I dunno about many many, but contrary to burrtard's assish post I know quite I few people who love crafting almost more than anything else, and I think the "Crafter" prestige class will live up to that...

    There are 4 teirs of crafting, and unlike other games where you have to craft 10,000 POS's and junk them to gain 1 crafting skill point, you will quest to gain your additional crafting levels...

    I think it will be deep enough for craft fiends but approachable enough for people like me who will craft, then stop as soon as its boring or bothersome.

    But one must remember the focus of the game is combat, and the city building, though you want crafts for that, its not going for the "deepest crafting system of all time" award

    Thats cool man thanks for the info, its good to know that atleast some mmos know that crafting does have its own following. I think its good that its approached in a way that anyone can enjoy it as well. Thats a plus for this game. It sounds like these developers know how to make crafting fun and integral to gameplay without having someone make thousands of useless items.

    Right, its been important to me to find dedicated crafters for our Clan because so many people are PvP focused...

    In all things a balance

    If crafting is done right (and it is usefull skill - like in SWG) I would be doing more crafting then questing. Open up my own shop, make a living... /sigh

    I don't count that you head smashing pesents would understand this ::::02::

    Every time I read your post, I die a little inside...

    I could never understand why anyone would want to craft. I can see now tho that it's going to be a very useful profession when it comes to building siege machines. And i don't plan on making my "living" crafting a chair...

    As far as I am aware, no crafting system anywhere asked you to make furniture for a living. Mostly, as in this case as well, its equipment of various kinds.

    As to why you would want to do so, for some the action itself is fun, but more often, its because its often the best way to make money.

    No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

    First of all the chair part was a broad sarcastic remark, and second of all im sure its the best way to make money, but "I"(hint hint) would not want to, maybe fun to some people but in my opinion i couldn't do it.

    Just wanted to make sure. Sometimes it seems scarcasm is lost on the internet, I think someones just joking around, and turns out he was dead serious all along.

    Um, me? And I'm not boring. Not at all. Okay...maybe a little...but...

  • DrSmaShDrSmaSh Member UncommonPosts: 454

    Well some of you drem of going out in to the world and smashing some mob and looting the "epix". While some of us dream of opening our own shop, trading raw material and making goods out of it. Doing buisness and helping others. If you kill a mob you didn't really do that much. He will just respawn sooner or later. But if you give a weapon or a potion to some one... it may save his life and help him on his way to the glory ::::02::
