    “With the game in such early development these Harvesting, Crafting and Specializations are subject to change without notice.”

    This is the best Video available now for the descriptions of Crafting and Harvesting. A big thanks go to our very own Bazgrim at BazgrimTV, and to Senior Game Designer Corey "Ceythos" LeFever for this interview.

    So, what do we know about the Alchemist? Not a whole lot I’m afraid, but we do have a basic idea from the information that we do have. The alchemist will be a tradeskill that allows the player to create poisons and potions in bottle or vial form that can be used cause damage to an enemy, or to enhance some aspect of the players character.

    The Alchemist will have two specializations available to them later as skills increase.

    They can choose to make Poisons: This specialization focuses on the study and creation of Toxins. These could possibly come in the form of a throwable glass vial that will explode on contact and produce a poison cloud that will affect all enemies in a certain radius. Maybe you will be able to produce a type of poison that you can use to coat your weapons or arrowheads with that will apply a damage over time effect on your target.

    Or they can choose to make Potions: This specialization focuses on the study and creation of Elixirs. These could possibly be a bottle that holds different effects such as a healing potion for one. You drink this potion and you can heal yourself for a certain amount of hit points. Maybe these will come with a potion in them that allow you increase your different resistances that will be needed in the different areas of the game world.

    As the game moves along in development we will learn more specifics about the different tradeskills that will be available to us. So, hang in there and as soon as we know more, you will know more. If you haven’t yet go watch the interview on Bazgrim TV, just follow the link above to watch a very descriptive discussion about Crafting. Any ideas you have on what you think the Alchemist should be? Please post and share them with us.
