Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures Visit Report - Part 6
DateTime:9/27/2009 11:20:23 AM
Since it would require much more than just a single day to over a huge endeavor like Age of Conan in any real depth, the event was designed to spotlight certain elements. One was crafting. Each country - Aquilonia, Cimmeria and Stygia - will have a resource-rich playfield (Funcom's term for a zone) where tradeskills are the primary focus. The system itself will be quest-based. This not only reflects the previously mentioned emphasis on story, it also means players won't be required to make dozens or even hundreds of items in order to practice and improve enough to make dozens or hundreds of slightly better ones. Instead, we'll advance by completing tasks assigned by trainer NPCs.
