So I have played around with crafting system and I gotta say its different, is it good different or bad though.
Personally I quite like it reminds me of something found in EVE online and the other good bit is you can actually do it while out of the game from anywhere.
Gone are the days of me standing around clicking button after button to create something instead you set it up and come back in 10 mins or however long, while your actually doing something fun like hitting things in the face.
Also it means kits will be very useful trying to get as getting crafting items i imagine could take time.
Also I like the little rare repcipe that pops up for a few hours before going away, i adds a lvl of randomness and the fact that some people wont be able to craft it right away so I like those features.
Its also nice you can do all the crafts with little hassle dont need to take two or give one up or chase random other bits just do it all from that window.
Overall I think its pretty good and lends its self quite nicely to the more action side of neverwinter.

Except for Pants. . .
Also I like the Idea of having Rare recipes randomly repopulate every hour, it will keep the AH price on crafted purples higher. . .
crafting leather and mail armors. However only a couple of pieces and the rest had to be earned otherwise(like Raiding) and you could also earn same level as crafted items through Raids.
I'm not quite sure what you are trying to say here.
I know how crafting works in WoW, but one could not craft BIS in WoW.
In this game it seems that the only way to get Shirts, Bracers, and Pants is by crafting. this is good as it gives high level crafters a market to sell to because they hold a monopoly( all crafters) on those 3 armor slots.
Due to the time gating it does not lend itself to power levelers though who need to have everything maxed in 3 days, and I'm sure that will HAMSTER a lot of people off.
My biggest beef with the system in its current state:
1) You can not acquire green+ quality tools and such for increased quality without the Zen store. Theres no tasks to make a green quality tool from 4 white quality tools like there are for your workers.
2) The amount of time to get higher quality workers is kinda nuts if you dont use the zen store to try and get em. When you use 4 white workers on the task to get a green, the 4 white are consumed.. That means the time itll take you to create a single purple quality worker is pretty ridiculous lol.
That being said I'm all for things taking a good bit of time to accomplish but they went a little bit overboard with all of this imo. As many have mentioned before with the slower crafting lvling youll never be able to make anything for your lvl until your 60 unless you do literally nothing but craft making it really only useful for alts, making AD off the AH and endgame.
On another note the Profession Gateway is pure awesome.
Create alts, level them to 11, hire your first basic worker on an alt, mail it to your main. If you aren't crafting on your alts, then set them to hire an additional one and repeat. Every 18 hours you get the additional white on your alt and send it to your main.
Invoke every day. Celestial coins add up to get you a crafting booster pack (don't remember if it's 5 or 7). Doing this with alts too. I've got at least one purple and a couple blues this way, plus lots of residuum.
Holy HAMSTER. Leadership 3 is easy to get and gives you an additional slot too. That's a really clever use of game mechanics (*cough*).
Easy Fun Action based Dungeon Crawler = Easy Fun Crafting
Huge Complex Sandbox MMO = Complicated, massive crafting system.
Not really. Crafting materials and assets are tradeable, you can find them on the AH. Mailing items between your own characters isn't 'creative' at all, just like mailing armor and weapons that your main finds that your alt could use. Also, the celestial coins crafting booster at 5 coins is very useful. If you get something nice that's not for your craft skill, sell it or transfer it to your other character that does.
rewards the whales who throw money at the devs.
All systems that reward things like that are bad
But there's really no limit on how many accounts you can make. Of course it quickly changes from being fun to "work".
Like another poster mentioned, its simple and fun, right up my alley.:) Sitting in front of some virtual machine clicking away like in ddo was a total turnoff for me. This is the first game i've played with this type of option and I am very happy with it.
That said, am I coreect in assuming that you basically craft for lower level alts, or am I just behind the profession leveling curve on my main?
Overall very happy so far, I like my gaming fun, I do enough grindy work at work.
Exactly. and I wasn't thinking creating other accounts btw. It wouldn't surprise me that some folks did tho.
I have a lvl 24 GF as main and probably I crafted more than you because I) had the opposite problem (stuff I could craft was a few levels ahead of my character) so I started levelling Leadership as well (and it actually rewards you with interesting things)
Will be necroing this once you get past crafting level 5 so you can see how stupid you sounded when you said it
You haven't been here very long, so I forgive your ignorance, for now...
EDIT :

free constant source of AD with leadership, shirts and pants.
How do you craft from work on your browser?

the Gateway
That's great but it doesn't really address my post. Don't you use AD to buy epics? You can get all your epics from facerolling pvp.
Welcome to the dark side, and now watch your productivity fall into the abyss...
I am at lvl 7 in platesmithing, thanks a lot. So?
And sorry if I enjoy playing the game instead of power levelling to 60 in a week (or less)
