Age of Conan Gameplay Preview #7

Funcom’s official Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures website has been updated with a seventh gameplay preview, this time detailing the game’s prestige classes and guilds. The crafter:

Crafters are those making essential items and equipment needed for the guild to succeed in extended battles and harsh conditions. Supplying everything from siege engines to weapons, the Ccrafter will be the person keeping their friends and customers supplied with goods.

Crafting has its own tiered progression system with 20 ‘˜levels’ but it is not experience based. Each level will be attained through a quest. Items also come in five tiers of quality, with the highest tiers reserved for crafters with strong and resourceful guilds.

Players will be able craft outside of a guild, although they will restricted from the higher-level tiers unless they have access to their own guild crafting facilities.

– Can build crafting premises, smithies, and other tradeskill facilities in the guild villages.

– Each Crafter in a guild increases the resource extraction of wood for all guild members up to a max of 30 of Crafters.

– Has access to all forms of crafting.
