Play Elder Scrolls OnlineOne of the biggest additions with the launch of The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset is the inclusion of crafting skills for jewelry. That might seem little, bit since those vital rings and necklaces can support some diverse builds, it’s especially important to have those items now be open for crafting. The process should feel familiar to experienced crafters, but there’s still a full guide available on the process for anyone who wants to try making the prettiest possible necklace. If you’re not concerned with any of that, though, you still probably enjoy the game’s anniversary event bonuses, so you’ll be happy to know that the game is extending its anniversary celebration by an extra week through April 23rd. Get a double experience buff, eat some cake, and celebrate being in the game. Possibly by picking up the raw materials you will later turn into a lovely ring. Everything feeds into everything else.

on Crafting Systems
The last few weeks I have been pretty lax with my daily blog post. My friend Ariad has managed to churn out some posts to fill the void, but in the end I have just been slacking due to some fairly significant deadlines. I’ve also noticed that when I have been incubating a large post, I seem to get thrown into a minor writers block. In the past these are marked by the days I have posted patch notes and nothing much else. However in the post E3 / Pre 1.3 lead up, there isn’t a lot I have felt like reacting to. After several weeks, I am finally posting this topic. How Randomness Ruined Crafting For Me and Rift Revived It I know that is a big subheading, but over the last few weeks I have come to realize a few things about crafting in general. I have always respected crafting in MMOs but in general I have never been one to hang out at the forge as it were. It has been a fun diversion, a nice break in the adventuring action at times, but … [Read more...] about on Crafting Systems
Chronicles of Elyria walks you through the process of gathering and crafting
The crafting system for Chronicles of Elyria has been overhauled in the latest test build, and it is all about making sure that your characters do not have something so simple as filling up a bar to craft. That’s a commendable goal. But it also doesn’t want you to play a minigame to craft, either. Instead, you’ll be going through a process described as being as close as possible to actual crafting without requiring you to actually get degrees in any of this. So, if you want to craft a sword, you’d better be prepared to dig up rocks, look for ore, smelt down impurities, hammer the metal, shape the metal, learn about quenching forged steel, and generally go through a wide variety of steps to get the basic weapon finished. It’s meant to be a game in and of itself, and considering the sheer amount of detail offered in the latest development dispatch, that sounds like a defensible claim from the design documents.
