requirements for joining a guild?

[Ody]

Emraht has a good point. Neither the gardeners or the mariners have a level restriction.

[Cherek]

Or you could remove the restriction.

Yeah that's another way to do it, but that's really not my decision to make. I'll leave that to Eowul who's the closest thing we got to a Shire liege.

[Snowrose]

yeah its not exactly game unbalencing to let newbies make thier own swords considering as a newbie that may be the one time those swords are actually decent.

I dont disagree, but nor do I know the reasoning for the restriction in the first place, so the AoD or Eowul will have to make that decision. I did however change so he now says "You're too inexperienced" instead of "You're too young". So at least now you get the correct "error message" when trying to join.

If my memory serves me.... in order to forge properly and quickly... one must be able to pump the bellows. In order to pump the bellows one must be ironlike or halfway or higher to it. Perhaps this is the reason for the size restriction? On most races the average strength reached by a player of that size is about the same as what strength is needed for the bellows.

You're probably right. Although it might have been more logical to have the restriction on the strength stat, not XP, since it would make more sense for Bores to say "You're too weak to pump the bellows, come back when you've grown some more muscles." But I don't want to meddle too much in someone else's design. At least now Bores does not confuse players by saying the wrong things.

You don't need to pump the bellows to forge..
It just makes it faster, if you do so.

[Draugor]

Bellows speed it up, thats about it, and its around ironlike for it

But for stuff to be really good when you forge it, be prepared to make around 3-4K of that specific item

A slight recode enabling different types of ores to be made into bars and then forged would be awesome, could get it from the mines of moria or something

If I can give my 2 cents, unrestricted crafting can be bad. Ff14 the first version let you start off as a crafter and it was problematic, even the second version is a bit iffy. It seems nice on paper but if a huge insurge of players join can be problems of too much inventory in the game and a hike in player wealth.

My 2 cents on unrestricted crafting

[Creed]

Too much inventory? What does that mean?

You can't craft your way to more backpack space in Genesis..

And if someone wants to spend all their time crafting, as a newbie, I say let them.
They have the same rules as everyone else, though, that botting isn't allowed.

Going killing and looting will give more money than crafting any day.
