Title: News on Crafting?
Post by: Robinmagus on April 15, 2006, 07:19:35 pm: Well, you can combine the stock castings, (but you really can\'t) Trasok has a seling catagory called \"crafting techniques\" and theres a chest under him that seems like it can be used for crafting. BUT my characrter doesn\'t \"Have something in mind.\" Does this mean we\'re really close, to the god given day when I make my own messed up weapons and then crash right after?
Oh and there\'s this really kewl menu on the castings with all these -1\'s...Maybe cause I suck :/

Post by: Karyuu on April 15, 2006, 07:53:45 pm: The system is still being worked on for players - some items are needed (and figuring out how to let players stumble onto them), GUI windows, instructions, etc. We\'re a lot closer than we were before, let\'s say :3

This simply means that the slot you\'re considering is occupied, but with an item that you don\'t posess (that is, an item of another player).
The -1 number is applied so you cannot take the item...
it is true although that some players liked using those stock castings as personal closets, so you were able to see mushrooms and clacker meats on those stock furnaces... yeah, a big barbecue. :P

Wow, seems like the system works quite fine.

/my patience is getting weaker, and weaker and ... even more weaker.

Post by: Clayzekiel on April 16, 2006, 08:28:32 pm: Oh man the dwarf really gave his everything just to make that one shield... If that\'s what it takes, I really reconsider becoming a blacksmith:/

Good job anyways. Keep up the good work. :)

Post by: Zan on April 17, 2006, 03:01:00 pm: I think you\'re confusing the weight of the smithing table with the one of the shield.

*Imagines Watcher trying to block incoming arrows with a smithing table*

Post by: acraig on April 17, 2006, 03:44:43 pm: The dwarf looks funny because I was also testing a patch that would fix the left hand/right hand issue with the models. I was in the middle of doing that when I took this screen shot.

That explains things, any luck with the patch?

Post by: Syilph on April 18, 2006, 03:22:43 pm: 1 Word... Patience :D
And now some more...
The crafting system is basicaly working altought there are some isues yet to be fixed.
The weight of a spiked shield is 19 btw ;)

Post by: Peacer on April 18, 2006, 04:35:43 pm: ZOMG 19, how can you battle with it then 8o

but yes as syilph said, patience. *Peacer goes back to melt some more metal and drops some on syilphs foot because she is invisible beside me and i couldn\'t see her*

no offence sylph, but i thought the same thing when i saw that avatar :D

anyway, the crafting looks as if it will be interesting,
a few questions though:
ive heard stories of needing large ammounts of items (ore, coal, etc.) to craft, is this true?
will the items produced be of better quality/higher value than ones that would be available as loot or from merchants?
are the items which can be crafted going to be set, or will it be possible to make \'unique\' combinations of parts to make the items?

Post by: ThomPhoenix on April 19, 2006, 10:13:59 pm: That\'s crazy!
When I saw you talk about \"she\" I was confused, because I always thought Syilph was male, and so he is! And eh, how can you tell someone\'s gender from their sig?*

Not counting situations where the sig says \"I\'m !!!

1: To set the avatar thing straight: Immage borowed from one of the most beautifull manga i had the chance to red : Angel sanctuary (http://coco.raceme.org/literature/angelsanctuary/persos/) by Kaori Yuki. Character: Lucifer (http://anime-theatre.com/wallpapers/anime/esperne/lucifer800.jpg) or Kira Sempai. (note: Lucifer is a good guy there ;)) The reason he looks feminine is because that is the way Kaori Yuki draws her male characters (you should see Rociel (http://www.shiroitsubasa.com/shiroitsubasa/ab-rosiel.jpg) if you think Lucifer looks feminine :p).

Ok, hope that cleared some things ;) And now let\'s jump to:

2: When crafting will be 100% working it will be possible to craft any item in the database, meanning those that are looted from monsters or availeble at NPCs and those that you can\'t find anywhere else. When we will be first able to craft we won\'t be able to create a wide range of items but the list will grow biger with time. So, happy crafting everybody.

Ps: No offence taken regarding the \"she\" matter ;)
