Wouldn't it make sense to make arrows in, say, bundles of 20?

no damnit I want you to craft the shaft, the feathers, the arrow head and the damn twine/glue to bind it all together. EACH. TIME. Also they will require you to purchase vr gloves as you are required to actually craft these items by real hand. If you mess it up your arrow breaks or misses the target.

That would be so fun! It would make a complete merchant economy.

ooh, I can't wait! first good VRMMO!

I want the crafting branch of the artisan system to be engaging and complex. My idea is having a bunch
of different stations to process items in certain ways to get different effects during crafting and each station having branching paths to customise even more and allow player expression in their creations , i/e

You want to make a flaming sword, you need a sword blade and a handle to make all kind of swords, first you go to the forge station to smelt your ingots and place them with your sword blade pattern you need 3 ingots to fill the pattern, but in order to make flaming swords you need fire infused iron instead of normal iron. you can use 3 fire infused iron ingots in the recipe to have the highest fire attack buff but if you use 2 fire infused iron ingots and 1 steel ingot you get less fire damage but get a strength bonus or just use 2 fire infused iron ingots and 1 regular iron ingot if you want a cheaper flaming sword. Now you got your blade, you could place it in a handle right now, or you could sharpen the blade for it to get better stats, so you go to the grindstone station, there you can decrease the weapon's durability in order to get a flat damage bonus the more fragile you decide to make it, the more damage it will do. Now you have your blade, now you need a handle to finish the sword, you can make a handle in the forge with a handle pattern and one metal ingot, depending on the pattern you can get a regular handle or a jewelled handle that has a gem slot, if you go for the jewelled handle you sacrifice 20% of the stats the handle provided in order to allow for gems to be encrusted in there. If you take the jewelled handle to the crafting bench station you can add gems to your handle, if you add a ruby you can get a %physical damage of the sword converted to fire damage depending on the quality of the ruby. Once you have your handle and your blade you can mix them in a crafting bench in order to get the finished sword.

I know it sounds intimidating having that wall of text just to make a sword. But in the end, you have a lot of opportunities to express yourself as a artisan to make something that represents your playstyle.

I think there might be a little bit of confusion on the method of mass crafting aka bear was speaking of in New World. In that game you can slip up to a tanning rack or smelter and it takes the same time to crat 1 ingot as it does 100.

With processing being a kind of artisan class itself, I doubt instant mass crafting of that style will be a thing? I get the idea that processing is going to be a sort of bottleneck on how quickly a player of group of players can react to something in the economy.

As an example: Someone discovers the level 35 crafting material of idk .. jade, does more damage in dagger form than a level 45 longsword if it has a specific enchantment on it. A bug. You could have an army of gathers go out there and mine up all the jade on the server, but it might take a day or two for the market to get properly flooded with each ingot having to craft up over time at your homestead etc. Perhaps it takes 3 minutes to process one of the components of the jade dagger, and needs five of them in total. Meaning a person could only make 4 jade daggers an hour.

(I don't know if thats remotely how processing is going to work, feel free to call me stupid if I missed some info somewhere.)

As for crafting arrows and the like, I don't think they would make you have to manually craft each arrow, or even stacks of arrows. I feel like that level of tedium would just ask for players to use a kind of 3rd party automation.

I am personally going right into the breeding and taming aspects of the game, so I am looking to make some truly horrendous looking mounts/pets out there with great stats.

do you really think individual arrows will be a thing in the game? let's be real guys....you will probably just have a bow and get infinite arrows from your quiver.

But yeah, I honestly can't think on many mass produced consumables that will keep your everyday player glued to a crafting station for hours.......

I posed this previously but chose to repost rather than link

I see a LOT of good things in the Trade Skills that has been mentioned thus far but there appears to be one glaring omission imho.......

Gathering:
- Hunting (will provide meat and hides)
- Gatherer (This could be gathering berries, roots, etc and even cotton. Whatever is not covered by Herbalist)

Processing:
- Butchery (Providing finished meats that could also be used for cooking)
- Tanning (For Leather Working)
- Weaving / Dying (For Tailor)

Crafting:
- Seamstress / Tailor (Creates robes, cloaks, gloves, and any other cloth based goods)
- Leather Worker (Leather goods like water skins, backpacks, pouches, shoes, boots, etc. along with base layers for armor like
studded, scale, partial plate, etc)

Are we really supposed to buy our Mage Robes, and sturdy boots from the local Armorer who should be focusing on your chain or plate armor?

I fully admit the idea for this came straight out of DAoC that had a lot of these very crafts and required components. I spent MANY long hours watching progress bars waiting for a "bong* or a "ping*
