Crafting Advice, Tips, & Equipment!


Many thanks to Pravus for the following information!

A general backround on crafting is that you can pursue a trade that will help you create items at a later date. Currently in the Tier 1 phase, You cannot create items just yet. To learn a trade, just go to the appropriate broker for the trade you wish to learn (4ses, look around) and type "craft (trade)". When you learn a trade, it will cost money to try to learn in another one. In order to remove a trade, you must go to appropriate broker yet again, and type "craft unlearntier(one,two,three)". It is recommended you search for the resources with your 8 eff tool and harvest with your 6 eff tool. This could save you valuable money repairing the charges to your 8 eff tools. Also, be warned. Occasionally a mob deemed "jumpy" will jump out towards you for trying to take resources. They are similar to balrogs, simply weaker..
