Not thrilled about Crafting changes…

[Felis]

I hate crafting as it is now, but I'm sort of disappointed too.

That's something that made this game interesting, the fact that you didn't ever have to fight monsters.. and with the introduction of housing (some time past 2.0?), you could seriously just work on DoH and DoL.

Maybe with the current way that crafting works, it would be better to start off with a DoW/DoM until crafting is made more interesting and that they then have more time to create an introduction for DoL/DoH (if you picked it first).

With 2.0 only battle classes can be choosed as starter class. To change to another class (battle, gatherer or crafter) a new char need first to do a quest to unlock the armory system.

In A Realm Reborn, when making a new character we will be limiting the class selection choice to battle classes only. After proceeding through the tutorials your character will grow and the Armoury system will be unlocked, thus enabling you to change into a Disciple of Land or Hand class.
