Fancy Pants for the win!

[Aazenius]

A final note or two about spheres. Sigil has stated that spheres are gear dependant rather than location dependant. All you have to do to go from adventurer to diplomat is to don your fancy pants...er... diplomatic gear!

This can be found half way down on this page Will be interesting to see what they have in mind as far as "diplomatic gear".

Yea... I'm not sold on this one. They better have a ton of inventory space or have different gear sets available to be changed with just the click of a key.

As of right now, we need gear for adventuring, gear for diplomacy, gear for crafting, gear for harvesting. From what i've read about the "Tool Belt" for crafting it sounds to me like you will have to carry various gear sets to do each task. Maybe wagons can store gear.

There's a point when it becomes to tedious, and loses it's fun... hopefully we don't see that occur here.

Keep in mind you only need to gather gear for each of those spheres IF you plan to participate in them. While it is possible to work in all 4 spheres I have a feeling most people will concentrate on 1 or 2 that they enjoy. If they enjoy the spheres then they likely wont mind gathering gear for them as well.

I imagine those who participate in all 4 will be "the jack of all trades - master of none"

That would be me I always have liked to dabble.

I definitely am going to be pretty torn on what sphere(s) to focus on come release. I guess it will become clearer as Beta progresses and we get more information. Right now though I'd love to try all of them to see how they work and feel.

Adventure -> Crafting -> Harvesting -------------------------> Diplomacy

Yes, that long of a drop off between Harvesting and Diplomacy

Speak for yourself, please.

I can't wait to test out the diplomacy sphere! I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for more info on it since it was announced.

edit: to add in the smiley that was somehow lost. Awww.... smilies aren't showing up in my post. There should be one.
