New Crafting System for AoC

The new crafting system for Age of Conan is a much needed addition to the game. You can still get good crafted items necessary to begin your adventures in the Northern Grasslands, but after that there really isn't going to be much use for it...besides the four hour foods and some of the crafted weapons. With the revamp, crafting promises to bring value to every item in the game.

Running T2 raids over and over again are great for guild renown, gearing out alt toons, and hoping your weapon will drop. It also offers ways to get shards, which are needed to help make the Ibis and t3 weapons. (someone help me make an ibis :D). There is always rot gear that can't be used. Not anymore! With the new crafting system we can take the rot piece and break it down for crafting materials.

We will be able to craft pvp gear as well, which means it won't be so bad when first bringing a new toon to pvp. I am not exactly sure on how this will work, but I'm assuming there will be nodes that give pvp stats that you can add to the crafted gear.

Here is the live stream where the materials are talked about to make weapons and armor: here

The people who have spent the time to get all the crafting recipe's should start making gear sets before it is too late. Because soon we will no longer have these items. This includes culture sets. If I had a way to do it, I would make as many sets as you could and bank them until a later date. Then sell them later? Just an idea.
