Our latest developer blog post takes a look at the second half of the crafting equation, gathering. This will be the system you use to get the materials to make crafted items in game.

More details and a description of our views of the system are available at the dev blog here:




Standard disclaimer: We can't share any additional details about the system at this time and can't yet say when it will be available in game.

Enjoy!

Great read! 

Now the big question is if herbs/silverthorn aren't used for regular crafting, and only used about once a month, what are they used for???

Magical fortifications? Boosting stats ? Reducing timers?

But this is stated in the blog:

"Where it gets complicated is that we hope to have nearly 30 herbs on the map by the end of the year, around half in the first gathering release."

Will it be possible to add gatherers to our armies (like we can with diplomats now) so that they can automatically start gathering the hides when the army has killed the critters (and maybe the army could have to sit with them until they have gathered all they can hold as a potential downside of doing things this way versus sending unprotected gatherers later)?
