Crafting

[Ibnshaitan1]

There was talk of implementing a crafting system over the years. I wanted to resurface the issue as the benefits could be many, from loot disparity to gold sink to RP for crafting requests to expeditions to get rare materials in hard-to-reach places with the attending RP. I know there were crafting systems that existed on other servers such as Amphila way back in the day so it shouldn't have to be created from scratch. I am also aware that the DMs are very busy, so I am not trying to heap more on plates already full. I wanted to once again raise the issue to see if it may be a solution to some issues on the server. I also admittedly think it would be a fun aspect of the game if added. Just 2 cents from the peanut gallery.

I've been working on a crafting design document today, actually, and Cheese has been playing around with various crafting plugins to see what will be the best framework to build on.

i second that,
we really need crafting to be implemented as it is i believe one of the main aspects of the game...
there are tomes with recipes for what? Make it hard at RNG, limit enchanting... all you want but crafting is necessary...

Craft plugins from dalelands are the best i ever see... and the magic level is very balanced as well.. IMHO +2 magic itens would be the best default, +3 advanced characters, +4 epic gear with epic materials acquired via quest or that 0.00001% chance.

Currently if I want my +4 epic gear I just go ask Mudds and get it for what? .. like 30k? Weapons and armor, that is.
I remember playing endless hours and finally met a friend who knows a friend who could, maybe, possibly arrange a deal so I can get my hands on that stuff. And I better pay well!

I wonder what crafting would do to the prizes. Maybe not much since they are as low as they can get already, right?
