To my fellow crafters/gatherers!

A few Questions on topic:
Which Artisan class are you planning on specializing? Why?

How in depth are you planning to get, and how much time are you willing to devote daily/weekly to your crafts and goods?

Also hey!

@Raisler while I'm not sure that you will be able to pull off Alch. mastery at lvl 20 because you might start to get into more technical potions and recipes and matter transmutation; you MAY be able to subsidize your Alch. level at herb gathering lvl 20 WITH bought product from the market.

I would only try this at an Economic Node due to the fact that you will have to do this and they will have the most available stocks and reserves for this kind of thing and likely a higher diversity of herbs. You should also realize you'll need a bit of coin too.

I'm interested in being a Herb Gatherer/Alchemist(focusing on Alchemy as the main profession). My big question in this situation is, when when will I need to stop putting points(?) into Gathering so that I can keep learning more about Alchemy. I guess as an example, could I be a max level Alchemist with Gathering at level 20?

We don't yet know the specifics on any of the numbers, of course. But, we can say for sure that the overall intent of the system is that it be highly interdependent. The devs have made that very clear. If a high-level Alchemist is able to gather his own herbs (or whatever other raw materials), then that is, by definition, not interdependent.

I don't know off the top of my head-- since I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of everything the devs have said-- if you'll be able to skill up multiple skills to a certain point and then have to pick increasingly narrow fields of specializations beyond that threshold, or if you have to choose your specialization from the very beginning. But either way, that would be a matter for lower-level crafters. Certainly by the time you are max level in your chosen profession-- and most likely long before max level-- if you make finished products, you will not be able to gather the high-level required raw mats yourself. And similarly, if you are a max-level gatherer, you won't be able to process those high-level mats yourself.

For some reason I always seem to end up making food and drinks. I started as a provisioner in EQ2 and I've done it in every game I've played since. I will occasionally do wood working and stuff like that (mostly so I can make furniture for my house). I also tend to gather everything in sight, use what I need and sell the rest.

Let them work in mines of mori.... eeeh whatever we wanna call it, tortur them and pummel them... put them into the darkness and one day lets call them orcs!

I dont know so far what I really wanna do.. what taming would definitively a valid profession! I wanna craft my own doorkeeper hydgehog (hydra plus hedgehog) :-)

Prob weapons crafting I will have to wait and see what the players who have more time in game specialise in and then find my niech (I wish the forum had a spell checker)

YeOldeSmith

@pjrydecker no worries yeah I'm in the same vein as you with weapon crafting. Hopefully they come through on the models 👍

I am a huge fan of crafting and I am definitely going to craft something what I am going to wear or wield. Because I kind of like to impale people I could go for spear crafting if I play as a fighter. However, I am interested to know more about summoner and bard classes before making any choises. So my focus on crafting will depend of my class choise.

YeOldeSmith

@Ferryman yeah the class reveals of the other remaining roles will be meta shifting, and will completely change the landscape of the community as we know it. Will be interesting to say the least.
