Skill based or Level based game ? Crafted goods ?

I see a lot of nice features for this game so Im a bit curious on the combat play. Is it level based with a damage multiplier or a skill based game with almost limitless potential for player improvement ?

I'll be honest, I dont normally care for Level based games as they seem to be a bit dumbed down for me. This is issue especially concerns me as I enjoy primarily crafting. And in a level based game, crafted goods quality really matters very little. If there's a damage multiplier in place, the outcome is pretty much always known regardless of gear.

On crafting, is there a way based on quality of resource to effect stats on outcome of item ? Or is it like WoW where every item comes out exactly the same ? Finally, do items decay or can they be always repaired to perfect condition ?

    I dont think this is know by anyone yet. Although primarly i would say no as a player can call on his god to intervine at certain times. There is no such thing as a sure fire victory.

    Again not much is known here yet. Other then crafting will not be the "make X item" 400 times to skill up system most mmo's use.

    Crafting is coming next week in a new patch. Combat is skills+points based. There's quite a good skills tree system implemented. As a fighter you can also use magic; it's very flexible in that way. I specced fighter but can use healing spells etc - sort of like a paladin class but not called that. Beta looks much better in motion that in screen shots. Simply superb.

    Interesting mix of level and skill.  I hope it doesn't disappoint.
