Trade, sir! Discover it! This is you, this is a clue. Get a clue, discover trade!
In my boredom, I've decided to attempt to map out what is required to make a relatively simple recipe to give others an idea of how complex the crafting system is.

Let's say you wanted to create a Health Recovery Stim. This requires the Pharmaceutical skill "Basic Stimulant Production". Here is all the skills/items needed to produce 3 of them.

1 Pharmaceutical Compound (Specifically Cortisol)
1 Stim Chemical (Not sure which one out of 6 options, so we will go with "Ionized Chromium Solution")
3 Injector

1 Sterilizing Agent (Again, not sure, but we'll go with Hydrogen Peroxide)


I'll now go step by step to create each of those associated ingredients within the "Basic Stimulant Production" that we are attempting to make.

Cortisol
Required Skill: Pharmaceutical, to make this you use the "Pharmaceutical Compound Extraction" recipe. This requires

1 Tissue Sample
1 Acid
1 Buffer Solution

1 Distilled Water

Tissue samples are easy enough to get, simply butcher some dead animals. (Survival Skill) The difficulty is finding the specific tissue sample needed to produce Cortisol.

Acid is a bit more difficult, so I'll go into that below.

There are 11 different acids, so knowing which one produces Cortisol isn't really listed anywhere. So we'll just go with Carbonic Acid

Carbonic Acid
Requires skill: Fishing and receipe "Chemical Extraction: Sea Plants"

For this, you just need:
1 Sea Plant (Received through fishing)
1 Heat Source (Wood or Coal)

The Buffer Solution can be a one of 5 different option, but we'll go with the easiest for the sake of my sanity, and say it's "Borate"

Borate
Requires Skill: Mining and recipe "Mineral breakdown"
This requires
1 Mineral, in this case a Borax Cluster which is received through Mining
1 Heat Source, (Wood or Coal)

Finally the Corisol recipe requires Distilled Water

Distilled Water
Required Skill: Chemistry and receipe "Distilled Water"
This needs:
5 Contaminated Water (You basically scoop up water from a lake),
1 Heat Source (Wood or Coal)


Hurrah, first item in our Health Recovery Stim is complete, lets get the other 3!

Ionized Chromium Solution
Requires Skill: Pharmaceuticals and recipe: Mineral Solution Synthesis.

This needs:
1 Mineral
1 Buffer Solution
1 Distilled Water


Next we need the injector, this one is a bit more complicated:

Injector
Requires Skill: Pharmaceuticals and Recipe "Injector"

This produces 3 injectors (what we need), but requires:
1 Surgical Steel
1 Sterilization

Surgical Steel
To produce the Refined Surgical Stainless Steel Bar, you will need a high skill in Mining, at least 200 I believe, and the following the various ores that produce it.

2 Minerals
1 Ore
3 Refinement Agents (Can be bought)

Since the Injector recipe and the actual Stim recipe both need a Sterilization agent, we will simply go with the Hydrogen Peroxide for both (Note: This may need to be different depending on what you are actually trying to produce).

Hydrogen Peroxide
Required Skill: Chemistry and recipe Mineral Acidification

This produces 5 Hydrogen Peroxide:

1 Mineral
1 Acid

1 Distilled water


And there you have it, you just produced the equivalent of 3 Health Potions. Other items like Vehicles, weapons and the like are significantly more complex and require a larger series of skills to produce it all yourself.

Probably more like the 11th, but we honestly don't know. We're playing the waiting game like everyone else and going by the estimates which we are being given. We are ready to go on our end and pushing to have it done as quickly as possible. If there is a silver lining though, it's that we will have another week's worth of bug fixes.

The crafting system doesn't bother me but how is the UI? I like complex crafting systems but if the UI makes me feel like I have to rely on the internet to use it properly I get mildly annoyed.

My thoughts are that we will want to rush a plot for Goon City, so that we have a place to meetup where we can all work together easily and share resources effectively. I suspect there are quite a few goons waiting for the wipe to start playing, and making sure people who just started playing are engaged is the way to keep them playing.

As for time tonight, I should be available around 8 central.

The devs aren't really sure. They are waiting for additional hardware from their vendors because the next round will have completely new servers that should cut out the lag. Best estimate right now is the 11th.

The only thing about this game that gives me pause is the lack of a skill cap. I feel like that's what made Darkfall terrible, when it could have been great.

Regardless, I'm really tempted to give it a shot. What kind of specializations do we need so far for the Goon PVE guild? I have a love of gathering that borders on the obscene.
