Crafting?

What is this games crafting like?  Looking for something as indepth has WURM, but with combat and decent graphics.  Is it a server full of Ganking like DF (that's just what I heard)?

Different people will tell you different things based on their own agenda.  There is a free trial.  If you are interested, download it and try it on your own before you take someone's word or subscribe blindly.

In terms of depth, I'd say it's close to Wurm. It is not as broad, at the moment (weapons, armor and housing only at the moment)

Here are some links:

http://www.mortalwiki.org/wiki/Recipes  ---- how to make alloys

There are 8 types of wood (white, black, brown, dapple, grey, firm, sponge, iron)

I highly suggest you try the free trial.  You'll find the crafting system in MortalOnline probably the most comprehensive crafting system of any MMO.  There's literally MILLIONS of combiniations of items you can make from all the different materials.

Even more crafting when cooking going live with Dawn.

Crafting in Mortal Online is based around combat.  So there really isnt any real crafting.    It is a surprisingly simple system with no depth.   They claim thousands of crafting possibilities.  But only about 10 are useful.  Any other attempts are a waist of time and resources.   

 

The new expansion with its cooking system is great.  BUT with it again being based around combat boosts, there is no real depth to it.   It is really kind of depressing, that so much potential of a sandbox is squandered on just combat.

  crafting has some incredible depth.  There's thousands (millions?) of material and component combinations, it's just that some people throw a fit when some of those combinations aren't as good as others... which makes perfect sense...

I suppose there is a bit of truth to this but....   1) Just because you're allowed to make a sword out of solid gold or spongewood doesn't mean that it should be a good weapon  2) In MO a weapon is just that... a weapon.      In many MMO's a weapon is just a means of enchanting your character. If you go into WOW or EQ and strip out all the enchantments, class and level restrictions, just how much variety is there in those weapons?  3) For such a small number you are most likely lumping together weapons considering the same, even though they aren't (e.g. a tungsteel shortsword with molarium handle is not the same thing as a tungsteel shortsword with emalj handle even though you are probably considering them the same) 4) If there are really only 10 useful combos you should be able to name them...

Perhaps you should check the plans a bit more before you criticize them.. 

Cooking and eating special food may yield various results, for instance eating gourmet food will earn you Sophistication, which will be introduced later in certain social areas of the game such as trading, persuasion, and joining specific NPC guilds. More detailed info about the cooking system will be published at the time of release of the expansion.   http://www.mortalonline.com/expansions

The crafting system in the game is very deep, and with mechanics that are quite different from those found in most other games.

The thing I like most about it, however, is that crafted items are very important.  Most of the items in the game are player-made, incuding the best items in the game.  That makes being a crafter a lot more meaningful than a lot of other game.
