About crafting...

Well, 16 years is a long time. Although I played this game after release in 2002 extensively, I forgot many things.

About crafting:
I don't even remember, that there was something like crafting in the OC. Nevertheless, I find wolf pelts, pixie dust and the likes, all flagged as "crafting ingredient".

Af course I am aware, that there is something called crafting, which came with the CEP-package from the workshop.

But as far as I see it right now, that's just cosmetic stuff and has nothing to do with true crafting.

Did I miss something? Is there more to it, so that I can really craft weapons and armour?

There is a blacksmith in OC that takes items from you to craft special weapons and such. As for crafting with craft material you need several items to make armor or weapons , however in the original mods these are not magical.

Crafting is implemented per campaign/module. There will be some sort of recipes which can be found (book) which will normally let you craft varous magical items, etc..

Crafting skills themselves are used to change the appearance of items and make non magical items.

I personally would not spend points on craft skills at all - however, That is a choice each player must make.

Ok, I will check that. Thx :)

You might want to try Craftable Natural Resources mod (CNR). It's not really designed for high fantasy though, which is what all the successful servers are.
