Crafting Forms + Techs, no not what you think.

[Poony666]

An idea to keep crafters awake and actually feel that what they are doing is worth while, my suggestion is that when gathering the raw materials there is a small chance of digging up a form, yes i know it wouldnt make muchs ence atall for trees, wisps and the fabric area but eh bare with me.

The chance of getting one would not have to be big, infact it could be tiny but justthe fact that there is a chance would inspire atleast some to carry on digging!

The form/tech you get could be based on the material/tier resource you are gathering.

sure in some of the areas it doesnt make alot of sence, but does everything in this game? no.

Well that would kinda make since.. perhaps a MOB dropped it? you could expand on the idea for Jewlery also.. Lord knows how many rings and such have slipped off peoples fingers.

Unless I am terribly mistaken, this was already one of the things to be implemented, but has fallen between the cracks somewhere along the way..

I like this idea. I mean, why do maggots carry chucks of clay and slabs of wood?

[pogowolf]

To give you something to sell to the PB. =)


I've got the beta specs at home, I'll take a look to see if it was something that was talked about before...

It was indeed mentioned as a possibility, during the "reward for effort" discussion, I think.

[Poony666]

Ahh i didnt realise that this had been brought up before, i had never seen it, sorry.

Bringing up an ide that's been mentioned before is not a faux-pas! It in fact shows support for this idea, and that the idea probably follows from some thread of thought.

Smeglor had it on his list of ideas for revising the gathering rewards sequence. There was only luck-warm support for the idea, as many loud voices seemed to prefer not getting any rewards in gathering at all.

Though, I thought it'd be great. Right now I tend to gather from golems and other ents when I'm dealing with a lower tier, as they repop faster than regular nodes... And this gives me a supply of forms and mostly trophies and their reagent drops.

Some variety would be nice, but many people prefer optimization.
