I'm all for the new system and while I'm not a mater anything yet, I have spent at least a thousand gold on gemsetting/jewelcrafting. I have one question though, would it be possible to not have to use weapons as tools? I'm a mage and find it very difficult to obtain ore on my own for jewelcrafting.

Why go and get the ore yourself? You're a mage, let those more suited to swinging heavy axes and getting sweaty do the work...

Wanlorn does have a point. If you are a mage and fancy making something yourself your going to have to take a martial feat in order to use a hammer and pickaxe. Hence why there are very few exotic weapons worth using. Something that puts exotic weapon lovers at a disadvantage. Shame the tools can only be used with this feat otherwise there would be a wider range of weapons out there. And as for mages (which i have one going at the moment) you will be lucky to get anything better than a mages staff unless you make it yourself.

I have only read the pages 1 and 5 due to extreme slow Broadband (Usually 10 Mbit/s now i'm about 12 Kbit/s) so if one of my questions already have been answered don't flame me ok? :D

1. Can you explain the "make-your-own-recipe" thing. I also wan't to know how it can be possible to come up with new recipes if there are already 700 :/

2. Brewing? Sounds like a Dwarf only skill to me :) what is that?

3. I think this will be a very good improvement!
Go for it, the votes are now 60-8. 60 as in DO. 8 as in DO NOT.

Just to point out- this topic is several months old. And Joker is no longer around.
