I was inspired by the furious pace of Santa's elves to meet the Christmas demand and for my sixth day of WAR I crafted. The crafting in
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
has always intrigued me. The concepts are solid, but the execution was lacking at launch. The basic premise is that most monsters and player kills would result in crafting components. Crafted items are mostly consumable items. There wasn't traditional blacksmithing or weapon making: there was apothecary for potions, talisman making, and cultivation (which is a gathering skill, but I consider it a craft).
Often times crafting far outpaced a character's progression in WAR due to the mismatch of ingredient levels to a player's level. The result was often piles and piles of crafted items that were unusable for several levels. This was not only frustrating, but also impossible to avoid unless a player ignored crafting until they were max level. To highlight this issue, I created this screenshot a long time ago:
As can be seen, level 30-32 ingredients resulted in level 38 potions for a character that was level 30.
