Show your artsy fartsy self in Vanguard crafting

Over at the Tentonhammer site, one very lucky (and generous) user by the name of Zinn received an invite to participate in the Vanguard Saga of Heroes beta, and he shares with us his experience.

On of the Vanguard features he divulged is the game’s crafting system: meeting the crafting master, the tutorial quests, crafting lessons and classes, and tons more.

According to Zinn, crafting is done in three types of crafting stations: refining, finishing and assembly. Here’s a snippet from Zinn’s detailed description and illustration of how the crafting system works in Vanguard:

Four types of ingredients:

Raw Materials: Every recipe requires a raw material to start. To make mangled leather one has to have mangled hides (obtained by harvesting animals) as raw materials. When youÂ’re completing work orders (issued by NPCs) the raw material is always provided.

Necessary Fuel Ingredients: Each recipe requires one fuel ingredient. For outfitting that ingredient can be either solution cleaners or corrosive solvents. This ingredient is used in one of the crafting actions. Fuel can be purchased from one of the crafting supply vendors.

Special Fuel Ingredients: These are non-standard ingredients that can also be purchased from the crafting vendor. These ingredients are not required to make the product but are listed on the recipe list. You can use these ingredients to perform special actions during the crafting process, but it is not necessary to use these to make items.

Enhancements: Enhancements are used for making player items but not on work orders. One can bring enhancement powders into the crafting process and use them during the refining process. These enhancements will add statistics or abilities to the final product.

Zinn also talks about the tools needed in crafting as well as the User Interface in Vanguard (trivia: your avatar’s look changes automatically depending on the action you’re about to do), so if you wanna find out more, just click on the read link below and show the artsy fartsy you.
