Artisan's Rock!

From what I've read, I can't wait to try out the new tradeskill/crafting system.  It's modeled after combat, and fighting a monster.  Sounds great!  Here's what I like to hear:


If you want to make a sword, for instance, you "engage" the forge and go through a process that's not unlike fighting. When a character interacts with the forge it begins to animate (sparks fly, bellows pump, etc.) Raw materials and a desired result are selected. Then, almost like hit points of a monster, the durability and quality of the item being crafted appear as status bars above the forge. Over time the quality gets better but the durability may drop. During this process, special events might happen: the forge might get too hot, an impurity might be found, or an opportunity to improve the item might come up, forcing the crafter to respond with appropriate skills. If the "encounter" is handled well, the crafter will be able to create a very powerful item.

Now that sounds interesting.  Not like pressing the combine button a billions times, lol.

    That sounds awesome....but thats ALMOST how it was in horizons...

    you had all the animation and stuff in horizons were you pound the metal and sparks would fly and all that stuff....

    I agree I can't wait to see how the sage artisan creates spells and such.  I can see an evil wizard sitting in a dark candle lit room with parchment and runes arranged strategicly, and he giggling madly as he scribes with his golden feathered quilll.  Ahhh. can't wait!image

    Artisans are no longer a separate class.  Instead they are just another form of advancement for your character.  so for example you can be a level 40 mystic and a level 15 builder(artisan class).  So you would only need an artisan alt if you wanted to specialize in another branch of the artisan tree.
