This idea probably isn't all that original or fully developed, but it just came to me while I was crafting. What if you could cooperate in a party with other crafters and gatherers? If you're anything like me you kind of just plop down in a corner and start cranking out synths solo, start getting drowsy then fall asleep at the computer.
There's a whole slew of things that could be implemented with partying.
- Small boosts to craftsmanship or stats depending on which classes are in the party
- Enhanced synthesis support
- crafting chains (*shrug* I honestly have no idea lol)
If I recall correctly, waaaay back in the day there was talk about crafters working together on big projects like boats, giant cakes etc. It'd be pretty neat to see. Imagine a team of chefs perfecting their soup de jour or a band of lumberjacks plowing through the forest on their merry way. Yep, that's all I got.
