Crafting

From Fallen Earth Wiki

[edit] Overview

Crafting will be hugely important in Fallen Earth. 95% of the items in the game are craftable, and the best way to get equipment is through crafting. The best gear in the game may require components that drop off of high level creatures, but in the end acquiring the item requires the participation of a crafter. Crafters will be able to make gear above their level while most items that drop will be equal to or under the level of the character.

[edit] Crafting Facilities

A character by staying in a crafting facility, such as a workshop or a kitchen, appropriate to the tradeskill they are using. Really complex items may require the character to remain in the facility for the entire time the item is under construction.

[edit] Experience Points through crafting

The experience points gained by crafting alone are not very high, though, compared to other activities. It is assumed that players craft while pursuing other activities. Players who just sit in a crafting facility and make things all the time are not going to advance quickly, as they are risking nothing.

Furthermore, experience points gained through crafting are based on the level of the item produced compared to the player's character level. High level characters don’t get anything for making low level items. Thus players are encouraged to work continually on keeping their tradeskills up, and high level players can’t get free experience points by making cheap low level items.
