Gathering tools

Outil d'artisan en Alpha-1 : pinces .

La classe artisanale de Collecte nécessite la création et l'utilisation d'outils de récolte qui permettent la collecte des ressources.

• La progression dans la classe artisanale de collecte déverrouille des outils de récolte de meilleur niveau, qui permettent de collecter des ressources de plus haut niveau.
  • Un collecteur de compétence maximale déverrouillera des outils de maître qui lui permettront d'accéder aux ressources de la plus haute qualité.
• Les outils auront une durabilité et une durée de vie.
  • Le nombre d'utilisations d'un outil de collecte augmente tandis que le collecteur devient plus compétent dans l'arbre d'artisanat de collecte.
  • Les outils peuvent devenir non-réparables, ce qui implique une nouvelle fabrication.
• Les artisans n'auront pas besoin de s'appuyer sur d'autres arbres afin de fabriquer leurs outils.

Les outils progressent au sein de l'arbre d'artisanat, donc votre aptitude à collecter, traiter ou fabriquer va nécessiter les outils correspondants à cette étape de fabrication afin d'accomplir la tâche en question. Ainsi, vous ne pourrez pas extraire du cuivre et du mithril avec le même outil. – Steven Sharif

Le Traitement requiert des plans pour la construction des bâtiments qui sont nécessaire pour traiter les resources.

• L'Artisanat nécessite l'acquisition de recettes pour fabriquer des objets.

Resource tiers (rarities)

Alpha-2 materials inventory of gatherable resources.

Ressources will have differing tiers of quality for the same resource type. This is somewhat similar to Star Wars Galaxies.

• Gatherers who are more advanced in their artisan tree will unlock higher level harvesting tools that have a greater chance of collecting higher quality resources or proccing a greater quantity.

You will have an opportunity to proc certain qualities based on your progression in the Artisan tree. So if you are a gatherer; and as you advance in your gathering, you'll have a higher opportunity to collect better resources. – Steven Sharif

Surveying

Surveying plays a key role in helping gatherers track down and identify resources that spawn in particular locations through the use of surveying tools.

Surveying is something that we're trying to use for gatherers to really interact with the things that we want to do with our dynamic world... Surveying is a way that you can track that stuff down. It will help you find places, will help you find particular resources, will help you find resources at a certain rarity; and so it should be something you could do as a gatherer on your own, or group up with other people to bolster up the power of your survey, or the range or reach of it. – Kory Rice

• Surveying can also identify the types of resources that spawn statically within an area and also provides information about the seasons and locations they spawn in.

Surveying is a way that players can check out an area for resources. Players can learn where resources are that are static and that grow back in the same location; but we'll also have resources and Ashes that can spawn anywhere, so surveying will help players locate those those resources. So if they're looking for something specific they can hunt them down. Surveying will also allow players to uncover hidden resources that players wouldn't be able to see with their with their naked eye. Another thing that a surveying would provide is some of the information that we're talking about before, like for instance if you survey- and inside of your survey area there's plants, you might learn what season that plant likes to grow in. You might learn whether it likes to be watered during the winter versus how it likes to be watered in the summer. – Kory Rice

• Surveying can help uncover hidden resources that are not visible to the naked eye.
• Artisan progression unlocks higher level surveying tools that enable better identification of gatherable resources within a location.
  • Unlocking surveying pylons allows the gatherer to adjust the shape and extend the area of their survey.

You'd work with a surveying tool; and you set the surveying tool down, and that tool would have a specific area in which it's able to uncover and extract information about the resources that are in the area. As a starting out gatherer you might end up with one of the tools, but as you as you progress and become more proficient with using the tool you might be able to set up additional pylons and extend the area of your survey. That allows you to start making shapes and having more strategic areas that you're surveying. If you could connect multiple pylons to create a shape, maybe you could follow the twisting caverns of the cave. Maybe if you're out in the open like we are here you could just try and make yourself a nice widened shape to scan as much of the area as possible. So it'll be up to the player to be tricky with their surveying tool to try and get the most efficiency out of their survey. – Kory Rice

Artisan progression

Les joueurs doivent choisir un chemin dans l'arbre de compétences d'artisan pour chaque personnage. Pour chaque chemin d'artisan (Collecte, Traitement et Artisanat) il y a plusieurs professions. Un personnage ne pourra suivre qu'un seul chemin entièrement.

• Les joueurs peuvent s'essayer à chaque profession en tant que "débutants" avant de décider quel chemin ils suivront.
• Choisir un chemin particulier dans l'arbre de compétences donne l'opportunité aux joueurs de se spécialiser dans un certain domaine. Cela crée de l'inter-dépendance entre les joueurs, améliorant l'expérience en tant qu'artisan.
• Il est possible de maîtriser chaque profession du chemin d'artisan choisi, mais cela sera une épreuve longue et laborieuse, coûteuse en ressources.
  • Les joueurs ne pourront maîtriser une profession que lorsqu'ils auront achevé la maîtrise de leur chemin d'artisan.
  • Après des tests, il pourrait être décidé d'utiliser une valeur fixe pour certifier la maîtrise d'une profession.
• La maîtrise n'est pas qu'une question de création d'item. Elle donne accès à beaucoup de choses, même des titres, accès à des items, des négociations, et des quêtes.
• Choisir une profession n'affecte pas les stats des joueurs.
• Les personnages d'un même compte (Alts) pourront avoir différentes professions.

Les joueurs auront l'opportunité de tâter chaque profession à un niveau très bas celà leur donne un avant-goût de chaque profession et leur permet de savoir vers laquelle ils préfèrent s'orienter et quelle profession ils veulent maîtriser. – Steven Sharif

Quand on dit que vous ne pourrez pas tout maîtriser nous ne disons pas que vous ne serez pas maître au sein de votre propre arbre d'artisan, qui sont l'artisanat, la collecte et le traitement. Vous serez un maître d'un des trois, mais vous ne serez pas un maître des deux autres. – Steven Sharif

Artisan gear

There's gear for all of the different crafting, gathering, and processing professions that'll help you do those different trades. – Kory Rice

Artisan gear boosts artisans in their gathering, processing, or crafting professions.

• Profession NPCs sell lower level artisan gear. Higher level gear is crafted by players.

• There are three artisan gear slots on a character's paper doll UI. Previously these was referred to as undergarment slots.

• Artisan gear and adventuring gear do not need to be swapped for either to be effective when they are equipped on a character, but players will be able to toggle gear visibility between their adventuring and artisan gear.

If you want to be seen as wearing the herbalists outfit, you're still going to have your adventuring gear present and on the character, and benefiting from the stats that are conferred by them; and vice-versa. – Steven Sharif

• The developers are planning to have artisan gear sets available for Alpha-2.

• Gathering tools and artisan gear have stats that affect gathering rates and yields.

Gear for artisans are going to live alongside your adventuring gear. So you will currently- the approaches, and we'll test this but currently- the approach is you'll have artisanship oriented gear. This might be beneficial for your gathering; it might be beneficial for your processing, or crafting, or whatever it is- your profession. Essentially you will craft that gear, you will equip that gear, it'll live almost as a undergarment slot so to speak; and then you can activate that and it will show the appearance if you wish during the activation when you gain the benefit from the from the gear itself; and then could disappear afterwards and go back to your adventuring gear. That's the current approach. We're going to play with that a little bit. There's some discussion and disagreement on the team about how we do that, but our hopes are for Alpha two, we will have I think a couple of sets at least. We're demonstrating all of the artisanship from gathering to processing to crafting in limited fashion in Alpha 2 want to have that gear present to play with this approach. – Steven Sharif

Timeline

Classes artisanales (Collecte, Traitement, Artisanat) is expected to come online fully in Alpha-2 and the Betas.

• Approximately 10 percent of the artisan system was online in Alpha-1.

Crafting honestly will not come online in any sense of its true form until Alpha-2. Alpha-1 has essentially what are intended to be the core gameplay loop of crafting, meaning the collection of materials, the translation of those materials into processed goods, and the use of those processed goods into item acquisition. That's the core gameplay loop that is currently present in Alpha-1. But those are mostly facilitated piggy backing the merchant systems right now and not actually using the real crafting system; and that's because crafting hasn't been completed in a form that can be implemented in Alpha-1, but will be for Alpha-2. What's present in Alpha-1 doesn't even really scratch the surface for crafting. – Steven Sharif
