    I would have to say Alchemy or Scribe

    Thievery, possibly. Otherwise something like Alchemy.

    My interests are in Alchemy and Weapon Smithing.

    But I'm wondering how it'll work in AoC. Since there is this split between Gathering, Processing and Crafting.
    You can only specialize in 1 profession. So can I do Alchemy and Herbalism at the same time? so I can at least get my own herbs when supply is low? Sounds kind of silly if I don't know how to pick the herbs as an alchemist

    I have not seen any artisan skills yet, only the suggestion of professions.
    If talking skills, then I would like to see a crafting system that took a little leaf out of New World, & Kingdom Come Deliverance (KCD)..

    General crafting

    • Perhaps as planned

    Rng
    • Chance to proc higher tier items
    • Increased chance to proc higher tier if more key materials
    • Increased change to proc attribute if specified item add

    Artisans
    • And ( as in KCD), higher tier / highest tier crafting requires not only the associated range of materials but perhaps also a greater range of manual actions thereby associating the reward with the effort and perhaps actually creating artisans.

  • akabearakabear Member, Braver of Worlds, Kickstarter, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    For other artisan professions:

    Map Maker
    Those who survey the land can sell maps
    Those who have surveyed the land will find over time, if they do not return the fog of war slowly returns

    Dye Maker
    More elite dyes perhaps craftable by artisans

    Deconstruction
    Make it a skill to retrieve greater and/or more elite materials.. then perhaps it might elicit a higher market turnover

    My main will be a gatherer miner to be precise but I will have many many alts plus possibly a second account. So I will do it all one day perhaps years in the future.

    Never write a check with your mouth you can't cash with your ass!.
  • AurielAuriel Member
    Anygame you played before have scribe craft? How it works?

    Is it something relevant to map making?

    Or

    Talisman/Totem making

    Or

    Rune engraving into gears

    ???

    I'm expecting it will make the Books that you can use as weapons.

    Buff scrolls are another possibility.

    Cooking, I work in a restaurant so i'll leave work, go home, and keep cooking in my tavern :)
  • Sov54Sov54 Member
    I'm interested the most in scribe, too. Surprising how many people is!

    If it is not too rewarding, I'd love animal husbandry, or something rare/niche, like carpenter. I'll play a py'rai so something related with woods.

    Hard to say with the info we have atm!
  • PercimesPercimes Member
    Probably one of the gathering ones, I like to be on the move and I have little interest for cities and housing. Although, if a profession allows to craft kites I might try it.
    Be bold. Be brave. Roll a Tulnar !
  • neuroguyneuroguy Member, Alpha Two
    Gathering for sure, I would be especially excited if they do indeed implement it via the "Harvest" skill they described early on. Something about finding cool minerals/plants off the beaten path excites me. I just in general like the linear progression of games like minecraft or runescape where you get better tools to mine better stuff etc etc.

    I also am curious about fishing, my favorite implementation of active fishing was in stardew valley, that minigame was fun af. I hope there is an active option for fishing which gives better/more rewards and a passive option for the many people who would prefer that.
  • akabearakabear Member, Braver of Worlds, Kickstarter, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Thought of mining rigs and other such higher volume return gathering equipment
    • Must be crafted
    • Higher return than solo
    • Requires group
    • Stores materials that are vulnerable
    • Must be defended
  • OnlyOneOnlyOne Member, Alpha Two
    I'm looking at siege crafting or ship building but undecided atm. Will want to see more info on them to fully decide.
  • SathragoSathrago Member, Alpha Two
    Fishing of course.

    Hmmm that's a good question. I've always been more interested in adventure than crafting so maybe mining/herbalism would be the job for me. I plan on playing Dünir though and they will surely get some sort of bonus to either cooking or a variation of smithing because of their dwarven heritage.

    I'll wait and see what my friends/guild/node needs me to be.
  • VoidwalkersVoidwalkers Member
    Would aim at rolling a weaopnsmith

    But am actually most excited about animal husbandry.

    The animal husbandry system is something I'm deeply excited for. Gonna have to experiment with it before I decide whether I want to be a gatherer, processor, or crafter (since it's reasonable to guess animal husbandry will be in all three) but it's something I'm very interested in playing with.
  • VhaeyneVhaeyne Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Ship Building.
    I like boats and ____.

    This is my personal feedback, shared to help the game thrive in its niche.

    you can only master 1 profession, but you still can have some development in other professions, so yeah you should be able to get your herbs when supply is low, but you might not be able to get the best herbs in the game by yourself.
