New Crafting Info

[Taronn Anvilmarr]

Hey all, this is a pretty heavy hint from sigil about the crafting and harvesting processes - apparently harvesting has lost its class status and is now a subset of skills under the crafter class.

Quote starts here:

You are correct. And indeed, there are no harvesting classes. Harvesting has skills to focus in. -- Jansan

We have alot of updating to do on our sections but that does appear to be the case. Look to see our content revamp starting late this week.

why are they messing with this stuff now? it was all fine for all of us out here waiting! can i blame SOE? i'm not saying it's their fault, i'm just used to blaming them (i'm an EQ player still after all).

umm....they changed it because of the beta testing. After all that's what beta testing is for. That's why I don't like this frenzied cry for information. Some, if not a lot, will change during the beta. This is just one on many changes that have been made.

It's fine. I'd rather have them change something that doesn't work than sticking with something that doesn't for the sake of it.

And actually... Having read about the whole SOE-publishing deal, I've come to understand that this is ultimately better for Vanguard. Matter of fact is that SOE can't touch the game - only the PR/billing/tech stuff is on their court now.

I am pleased that all those harvester classes are disappearing it always sounded like an idea too far. As long as there are appropriate skills that can be gained by all players independent of adventure class. If a level 1 chops down a thousand trees they should become very skilled at harvesting trees.

I had'nt even realized that harvesting was a class. It should be part of crafting really. Crafters should be able to gain experience in harvesting on their own.

I wonder if gleaning is still in the plan. I wanted to be a gleaner.

Was kinda looking forward to being a Foreman myself. Oh well, things happen. Hopefully will help the game in the long run.

From what I've heard, all of the harvesting classes were just rolled into the crafting class as skills so you should still be able to focus on each of the harvesting types you wanted to.
