Crafting Specialization - Some thoughts

I would love to see SOTA evolve its crafting systems to allow for specialized crafters using the specialization and even the attunements systems.

Primarily, I agree with what others have suggested about making some things only available to a master crafter in a particular school. ie...Cooking being able to enhance certain food bonuses, Certain craftable clothes, metals, special bone materials only craftable by a specialized skill.

My desire is that we each be allowed to specialize in (2) major skills at a time including material refinement.

Sure we could be great at all the skills but only masters of two.

For years I played a blacksmith in UO and had so much fun interacting with players purely as a smith tailor. I did have alt accounts for fishing, magic, taming etc. I like the way SOAT lets us change back and forth in the regard but it takes some effort to do.

The main thing I would like to see create is an interdependent community and economy where I have an enchanter friend and he has a tailor friend and he has a leather worker friend who knows a great metal smith etc.

I want to be really great at one skill which allows me to make special things that only a specialist can make.

 

I've expressed and wished the same thing
