Consolidation of Artisan Abilities

Post by Jirato »

To make the transition to generalized a bit easier, we're making some changes to Artisan-only abilities.

First, all skill gains granted from abilities have been removed entirely.

Abilities that ONLY granted skill gain and did nothing else have been removed entirely (Fishing and Farming).

Blacksmithing: Apprentice, BlackSmithing: Journeyman, and Blacksmithing: Master have been consolidated into a single "Artisan Blacksmith" ability. Having this one ability will grant all the bonuses that the three previous abilities did.

I'll be making some further adjustments in the near future.

The leatherworking abilities have been consolidated.

Shopkeeper has been removed but will likely be re-introduced at a later date once an actual shopkeeping system is in place (the sales carts were removed quite awhile ago).

instead of some of the outdated abilities, how about things that allow them to smelt purer metals and weird stuff like that, I never played an artisan, so I'm a bit lost on this.. lol

Actually, I Zoiya's suggestion gives me an idea. Why not grant Artisans the ability to get 1/4 more metal from each chunk of ore? Put 4 chunks in, get 5 standard bars back. The non-standard ores, like bloodsand, could either be included, or it could be said that these are already as pure as possible and still only grant a full standard bar for each chunk of ore.

I feel that's a fair balance. By condensing the guild abilities into 1...

blacksmithing:
-1 guild ability
-4 gen. abilities

Leatherworking:
-1 guild ability
-3 gen. abilities

lapidary:
-1 guild ability
-1 gen. ability

- the above gives us our three core guild skills, without counting harvesting abilities to get materials to work with. current total: 11 pts

Lets add mining then! And wagonmaster, because everyone who doesn't have a wagon-accessable home will at the very least need to take it as an artisan.

Mining:
-2 guild abilities (mining, prospector)
-1 gen. ability

Skinning:
-1 gen. ability

currently: with wagonmaster: 16 pts.

Now that's more reasonable, it lets artisans take all the core guild stuff, gives the option to generalize a bit, but not do both. I think my counting there is right. ability points to buy adv. smelting techniques: riversteel, etc, might be reasonable as well.
