Races in Harvesting

[Nerual]

Is there any info on racial effects of harvesting? Will some races be better with some types or resouces, dwarves and some form of stonecunning type ability or something, elves and herbs, so on? I think it would provide an interesting extra bit of strategy, but maybe limit players too much on who they play or what they build.

As far as I know there have not been any details released about this.

No, there won't be racial benefits towards harvesting or crafting. Racial recipes within crafting, however, are fair game and might be part of the game. This is what's been confirmed so far.

i hope there are racial recipes. That allows for something special to only come from a very select few.

[Taronn Anvilmarr]

Gelu - it has been confirmed that racial recipies exist - a dwarf gets a specific type of hammer/axe/whatever that no one else gets

same with elf, etc...

[Pirotess]

Aye racial recipes exist, its just racial crafting bonuses that dont exist.

It might also be the case that an newbie dwarf blacksmith gets an advantage from the better forges available in the dwarf areas, and so forth for the other crafting classes.

I read in one of the Developer posts that each race would have some racial skill(s). I'm imagining that if the skill system for everything is as described (meaning you get a pool of points to spend each level, and that you apply points into specific skills of your choice, and that you do not have enough points to max out everything,) that this will also apply to the racial skills.

The real question is this:

Does each race have one ability or more than one. If it IS more than one, then it stands to reason that some of those abilities could apply to diplomacy and crafting.

I wouldnt be surprised to see racial skills that pertain to the adventuring sphere at all. It also seems reasonable to assume a High Elf might be a better diplomat than the average Dwarf. Those kind of details will be fun to hear about as they get released.
