So I'm looking into getting this game, and I've read the very nice FAQ in the main forum, but I don't see too much in it about tradeskills. Crafting is one of the things I really like in MMOs, so I'm looking gfor a bit more indepth information about how they work in this one. If there is an FAQ on it somewhere that I overlooked, I appologize, and please point me in the right direction.
I'm mainly interested in:
-How many of them can you level?
---Is it like WoW with x number of primary skills and all secondaries?
---More like FFXI where you can level them all, but only 1 past a certain point?
-What are they?
-What do the different skills cover/do for you? (Clearly tailoring has something to do with armor. :P)
I did read that they took out craft interdependancy. That sounds like a plus in my mind.
I DL'd the free trial last night, but haven't had much time to look at it yet. It doesn't really seem like it will take me too far beyond this is how to quest and this is what this class plays like to level 6. The only craft-ish thing I have found so far is that if I click on an animal den I might find some deer meat or leather scraps.
Any help you could provide me is appreciated. This will certainly be an important part of the decision to get the game or not. Thank you. :)
