Warhammer Crafting

With Warhammer Online releasing on September 18th, many of you may be wondering about the Warhammer online crafting system. I was able to do some crafting last weekend during the Preview weekend and would like to share what I have learned.

Warhammer crafting is pretty level forward. There are two different types of crafting - harvesting and done stock crafting. There are four types of harvesting crafts. Scavenging is scrounging usable stuff from humanoid type mobs after you have killed them. Butchering is pretty much the same thing as scavenging only from dead animals. Cultivating is farming or growing items to be used to make done products. Magical salvaging is breaking down items into crafting supplies. There are only two types of done stock crafting at this time. Apothecary is basically potion production and can be pretty handy. You can make curative potions, stat buffs, or cause damage that can really help in RvR. Talisman production creates adornments to be added to armor and weapons.

I would advise everyone get a harvesting craft early in the game. Nearby level 5, you will come across a quest camp with crafting trainers in it. As a beginner Warhammer craft I would advise Scavenging. It seems there are more humanoids to be killed than animals and even if you don't plan to craft right away or ever, you can scavenge items to sell to a merchant to make money early on. You can even scavenge from other players after you have killed them in RvR. It also makes sense to have your first character scavenge because it doesn't require anyone but dead bodies to skill up and you gain items usable in cultivating, apothecary and talisman making.

Finished stock crafting is pretty easy and skill ups come fast. There are no recipes in Warhammer crafting so you just open the crafting window, put the items in there and see what happens when you integrate them. In Apothecary, for instance, you put in a glass vial to hold your potion, you add a basic ingredient like Elvish Parsley (to make a curative potion) and then you have three more slots that you can buy items to improve the combination, increase the number of potions created or make it more garage (more likely to succeed). This is where your scavenging comes in. If you have scavenged something that says it does something interesting, you can just throw it in to the mix at this point and see what you get from the combine. No recipes to crusade for or buy.

According to Mythic, Warhammer crafting is not indispensable but is meant to improve RvR. So it's all about being tougher or great at attacking or more unyielding to magic, etc. all in the game is centered on killing the enemy.
