- Is there research in the game or are crafters able to build a list of objects dependent on what the skill level of their profession is? Like will boats be available when someone reaches an acceptable carpenter skill level or do they need to work out a crafting design.
Unoffical Answer:
[12:29] <Silaven> But! If you find an unknown material how do you know how to use it? which is where another question of mine comes in.
[12:29] <Alzuule> very excited
[12:30] <@Caspian> Silaven: Research!
[12:30] <TimboJones> Can the finder name the material?
[12:30] <Silaven> So research does exist?!
- How will characters(mainly suppliers) be able to survey and find veins to mine or tell what kind of plant they found? Is that included in the Bardic skill?
Answer:
[12:25] <@Caspian> Silaven asked a great question.
[12:25] <@Caspian> Which is entirely relevant to today's DJ.
[12:25] == VicRach_AFK has changed nick to VictoriaRachel
[12:25] <@Caspian> Silaven asked: How will characters(mainly suppliers) be able to survey and find veins to mine or tell what kind of plant they found? Is that included in the Bardic skill?
[12:25] <@Caspian> No!
[12:25] == prime_ [[email protected]] has quit [Ping timeout]
[12:25] <Souzou_> No?
[12:26] <@Caspian> I'm working on it...
[12:26] <@Caspian> Identification isn't in the Bardic tree.
[12:26] <@Caspian> It's in the Gathering tree.
[12:26] <@Caspian> Which is why we kept going back and forth between
calling that branch Lore/Gathering.
[12:26] <@Caspian> In any case, Suppliers, as part of the Gathering tree, will have the ability to identify stuff.
[12:26] <@Caspian> But... that's not the really cool part.
[12:26] <Morphime> what about if you find something new! something never seen before
[12:27] <@Caspian> I guess if there was an Easter Egg in this week's DJ this is it.
[12:27] <@Caspian> Explorers!
[12:27] <@Caspian> Explorers can, as part of their adventures catalog new things they find.
[12:27] <@Caspian> This could be an unknown plant, animal, metal, etc...
[12:27] <@Caspian> This is then written to a piece of paper.
[12:28] <@Caspian> The paper can be sold to a supplier.
[12:28] <@Caspian> If the supplier has sufficient knowlege, reading the journal entry will reveal what the type of animal, plant, etc.,.. is.
[12:28] <@Caspian> So they may know, while the Explorer does not.
[12:28] <@Caspian> A smart explorer would then dual specialize in both the Survival tree, as well as the Gathering tree.
[12:28] <Sabbicat> WTG Caspian. Now no one will post to my unofficial Easter Egg thread
[12:29] <@Caspian> Also... an Explorer can also journal where they found something as part of a map.
[12:29] <@Caspian> So if the supplier likes what they see, the explorer can sell them the map to find it.
[12:29] <@Caspian> I hope you guys are excited by that as I am
