Crafting = Awesome

In other MMOs, such as Runes of Magic, I never did much of the crafting. I had no desire to hunt down resources, go through a bajillion steps and grind out a piece of gear that I couldn't even wear.
Neverwinter, however, seems pretty awesome. I love the system. In fact, I made a shirt for my TR and wore it as the best thing I had! I'd never done that before, and I liked the feeling. So, good work.
Only problem is that you don't have weapon crafting... I'd like to see that.

The task times early on really ought to come down some. Luckily, once you get purple-quality assets, the times get much more manageable.
The one thing I really don't care for is the randomization of rare crafting tasks. Why can't I make +6 Chain Armor whenever I want to make it?
so far, I am crafting purely for exp in Gateway. I haven't actually made anything for myself yet.
Please review my campaign and I'll return the favor.
Crafting in every game takes time - but results and time investment have to be in a healthy relation to each other - which they arnt here unfortunately.
As a P.S. i would like to add my definition of crafting as it seems some people think differently: Crafting means creation for me - creating something of use inside the game world. Not just creating something
One exception is Leadership, but the actual crafting blows chunks.
My crafting tip to anyone starting the game would be: ignore every profession except Leadership, get as many mercs as you can, and run NOTHING other than Protect the Caravan over and over and over until you have all the diamonds you want. Only then should you even glance at the other professions.
I would love to be proved wrong on this advice.
I personally like systems like the one from Star Wars Galaxies with multiple levels. You could do an item at it's base level with very few moving parts, OR you could spend time and resources on a better product. Some people were so good at crafting that others would go to the ends of the world to buy their product.
Where as systems like NW or WOW are just yet another item like the 1 million before it. The one thing I dislike about the system in NW is that the resources are gained at random instead of mining or gathering as you need. Then there are the rare mats that can stop or slow you down from crafting what you want or need. There has been many a time that I really wanted to make some new boots or pants for my character only to have no arcane crystals on hand, all in the AH are either too expensive or I get out bid.
But as always, To each their own and your millage may very.
