Crafting?

well guys i got a question you see guildwars talking about something like crafting what they mean whit it and what they do whit it
look on other games is a skill crafting that you can make stuff but what gw means whit it

We dont know this yet :) so guess we got to wait

they havnt really went into much detail about the crafting so i guess we'll have to wait and see

Somewhere in the last 2 days I heard one of the Arenanet devs talking about crafting, and though nothing is finalised yet, the crafting will be real crafting, making useful things. I am hoping for a crafting system that will keep me occupied for the odd hour or so :)

Its gonna be like crafting in runescape :O:O so guys get ur equipment out and go to the mines :''D

ive that so and they make non combat skills then runescape will lose ppl :OI

Can you give us any information on how crafting will work, or what types of crafting skills will be available?


That is currently in design. We’re still working out all those pieces. We didn’t have it in the demo because it isn’t quite ready. We’re going to have a very extensive crafting system, lots of gathering and all of those pieces you’ve seen in basically any other MMO in terms of crafting systems. One piece that you have seen in the demo currently is a lot of the little types of activities when you run around in the game use a very similar system which we’ll use for our gathering system. For example, when you run along the dam and see lots of water coming out of the dam, you can run over and use that spot of water and turn it off. Also anyone that is with you can also run over and turn off that specific spot of water. It’s something that we’re trying to obtain in our game, you’re never really going to have someone close to you being able to take that spot of water from you. We want to carry this system over to every aspect of the game, including battle.

Found it on GW2 guru

I am wondering about the charr area cannon turrets, for example. In the demo videos the dev definitely says that people have to come repair them when damaged. Maybe there is a crafter who does repairs to mechanical things as part of his craft, or makes the spare parts.

Here's a thought, maybe there are Engineers, but as a craft, not a profession :)

Knowing Arenanet, there is bound to be an interesting twist to crafting.

think so
