Age of Conan - Mitra's Method @ WarCry

The latest Mitra's Method takes a closer look at crafting in Age of Conan.

The different primary tradeskills that will be featured in 'Age of Conan' will be the armour smith, weapon smith, alchemist, architect, and the gem cutter. Secondary tradeskills will consist of acquiring the skills needed to harvest the resources required for your given primary tradeskill. For example, an armour smith will need to harvest iron and leather in order to make certain armour types. As a player progresses through the crafting quests, as earlier mentioned, they will be given access to recipes that will create better and stronger items, which of course will require better ingredients and resource types to create them. So basic resources means basic items, and rare ingredients and resources means rare items, to put it in a nutshell, but all these resources you need can be found in the crafting playfields, so it's not like you will have to explore for hours and hours or walk for miles and miles to find one piece of the resource that you require.
