hi all...

i would like to know if any of you knows if the recipes (the ones dropped on world) are going to disappear or being changed???
because if they are going do vanish, no point of me trying to find them, if they stay and only be changed on how to make them, then i search for them...

No one knows yet how FC is going to implent the new crafting system, just wait and check the next monthly letters.

There will be no recipes after the crafting revamp. This has been confirmed over and over again. Everyone can craft, and its up to each player to find the proper mix of materials for best result.

I think that it will be something like TSW, where you add items to the craft window and get a preview of the item and its stats. Clicking craft button then crafts the item.

IMO thats what we will get, a rough port from TSW craft system.

It's been posted on the EU forums by the German CD, Waldegeist, that AoC's system will be different from TSW's. The system to be adopted is more in line with Everquest. He specifically says [Translated] "the crafting will not be how it will be TSW."

Es wird ein System, das sich in das Game-Design von Age of Conan einpassen muss. Was bisher feststeht wurde von Craig kommuniziert. Alles weitere sind nur Mutmaßungen und nutzlos. Bitte lest euch den Artikel nochmal genau durch, da wird ziemlich deutlich klar, dass das Crafting nicht wie in TSW sein wird. Wir versuchen kein Handwerkssystem zu schaffen, das nur 1% der Spieler gefällt, weil sie absolute Fanatiker in Sachen Crafting sind. Damit wäre eine Überarbeitung gescheitert. Ich kann und werde keine weiteren Einzelheiten zum Handwerkssystem rausgeben. Craig bestimmt wann, welche Infos dazu rausgehen. Ich DARF nichts weiteres sagen, als er schon kommuniziert hat. Es tut mir leid, aber ihr werdet euch noch eine Weile gedulden müssen, bis das Handwerkssystem weiter in der Entwicklung/dem Design vorangeschritten ist und die Einzelheiten feststehen, bevor wir weitere Details veröffentlichen können.

and ... or should I say "und" ... Sil has said to the press that Star Wars Galaxies was also an inspiration:

"We are looking back a bit more, taking our inspiration from games like Star Wars Galaxies and the other earlier MMOs, with a focus on ingredients and finding the best combinations. That adds a layer of depth that you don't find in the other modern MMOs that have used more simple list type crafting systems, where you get the same results all of the time. Personally I think it's exciting to see proper crafting making a comeback in our games. Both approaches have merit, and I think what the team is cooking up for Conan is more suited for the slightly more stat-based level progression we have in Conan, as opposed to the flatter system in TSW." from http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/05/17/the-anvil-of-crom-age-of-conan-turns-four-taps-swg-for-craftin/

Sil said something about starting bonus for the achieved crafters when the revamp goes live. There will be new skills (some or all of the old ones can be scrapped!), but you could get a boost to them based on what you had trained before (f.e. alchemy will disappear, but your master level will grant you apprentice in brewing or some **** like that). Known recipes may contribute to higher starting level or some other bonuses.

But he was really "it's too early to tell", so there's a chance you will get nada

TSW crafting system is even worse and shockingly , even more boring than AoC one. Throw in no recipe book and frankly .. I prefer this current one with 95% rubbish recipes.

Only saving grace is breaking down items and creating better quality mats from it ... then again , instead of selling weapons, ppl will be melting them down.

[jauertussen]

what will happen to thoes. cant realy see how they are alterble. ofc they cud specifie a certain lvl of mastery in craft to do it and make em quest achived.

The gathering part in TSW crafting is perfect. Almost every single item that drops can be broken down to materials, and low level mats can be upgraded to high level mats. Perfect. Best ever. Otherwise, yes, you are right TSW crafting sucks. Useful for 30 min tops before you outlevel them, (or for ten seconds if the zombie next to you happen to drop the same armorpiece you just spent all your crafting mats crafting). Add to that that EVERYONE can craft whatever you can craft, so who is going to buy anything?

I don't understand why AoC people blame the SYSTEM. It was never the system, it worked great. I must have sold crafted items for at least a few 1000 gold, sure there was a market, even for basic blue items. The culture stuff used to be the best you could get without raiding for months.

The problem with AoC crafting is that they stopped adding new recipes. Plenty of Kithai armorsets, zero crafting recipes. Wonderful new Turan sets, again no crafting. Not even gem-slots in anything added to the game since, what, 2009?

Crafting died because the developers stopped developing it. Now the system is getting the blame. Please, please, please don't replace it with some TSW nonsense, at least not anything exept the gathering part. It would be nice to be able to break everything down to mats.
