EA Mythic reveals new details about the Warhammer Online Crafting system,
offering a link to

this podcast from Mark Jacobs on the topic. There are more details in the
announcement, and here's a portion: FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EA
Mythic, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS), unveiled new details
for the crafting system in Warhammer® Online: Age of Reckoning™ (WAR). With two
crafting abilities (Apothecary and Talisman Making) and four supporting
gathering skills (Cultivating, Magical Salvaging, Scavenging and Butchering),
the MMORPG incorporates an innovative crafting system to aid players in their
fights on the battlefield’s of WAR.

“Crafting is a beloved MMORPG element for many players, however, it can often
feel like an unnecessary addition to the game,” said Mark Jacobs, general
manager of EA Mythic and WAR’s lead game designer. “The crafting system I’ve
envisioned for WAR is innovative, fun and doesn’t require hours and hours of
grinding materials, items or recipes in order to succeed. It is a system that is
tied directly to your Realm’s ongoing war effort whether you are a player who
loves PvE, RvR or simply crafting in general.”

The Apothecary crafting ability allows players to create all manner of useful
potions, lotions and powders to heal, enhance stats, or cause damage to others.
By combining various ingredients, players will even have the opportunity to
“design” their own potions according to their needs. The second crafting
ability, Talisman Making, will allow players to make useful items imbued with
magic powers to be worn by a character.
