Is the crafting gonna be a very in depth process where not just making the weapons and armor happens but also better quality perks are added on or randomly generated. Or have optional slots that can be unlocked as crafting levels which adds in additional perks being added on with varying levels depending on quality. Like different irons added in increase durability or and sand stone or quartz makes a sharpening bonus

+1 to @Yakobii's question. To add onto that, if you're making a sword can you use different materials to focus your weapon towards different niches? For example, lead or iron might be good for a warrior as the weapon would be slower but hit harder. Platinum or silver might be better for a rogue because it hits faster and has a higher crit chance.

To what extent are weapons materials customizable? If you can change the base ore, can you also use different types of wood for the handle, or different types of metal for arrow tips?

Question:
