So about gathering and crafting...

[Cypher]

Hey everyone!

I really enjoy New World, but I kinda don't get the point about gathering and crafting - or to be more precise: the point about the sheer amount I have to gather in order to progress my crafting skills. ATM it can be quite frustrating. Of course I know that I have to focus on one or two skills and that the game wants me to be busy for a while. But nevertheless it feels a little over the top.

Getting your woodcutting skill up is a real pain. I guess most of you will agree. The other gathering skills feel way more progressive (e.g. skinning which I already got at 200 although I cut down at least ten times the trees)

ATM I'm trying to get weaponsmithing and engineering up. And again: I don’t want to rush, but even when I want to take the fastest way from 50 to 100, I need almost 2100 steel ingots. Considering the fact that most iron farm routes are almost always overcrowded, it takes forever to gather the resources. And those 50 points are only a fraction of what I have to do. Most likely, I will reach level 60 and endgame content way before I can craft anything useful for this level – especially when I don’t focus on gathering and crafting and do it along the way.

Am I missing the core concept of this system?

The reward for hitting 50 on logging just feels odd. Its like yes I made it! Immediately to oh I still need young tress in the 10 thousands...

Same with all the crafting.. it's the worst crafting system ever.. I have no idea how this made it out of the development phase.

How do you level engineer?

You are.

Crafting in MMOs is never profitable, or useful for your level. Crafting is always designed as a time/gold sink. It's meant to remove resources from the game.

Because everybody is leveling crafting skills, your best option in any MMO is to simply find someone that has a high skill and give him materials to craft you what you need, or just buy it, instead of leveling crafting yourself and waste all the extra materials.
