ArcheAge Beta

[Koota]

You don't have to craft at all, if you don't want to. But there is no denying that utilizing all aspects of the game will yield you more money, more exp, better items, etc. But, to reiterate, you don't have to do any of that to progress.

Trade runs, where you craft something at a regional specialty workbench and export it to another region is the best source of getting money in game right now. It also makes for some of the best PvP opportunities, too. Because you can steal trade packs, or alternatively it can be stolen from you.

I'm not a fan of all the Farmville related shit of ArcheAge either, TBH. But I'm willing to give it a shot and understand that full circle, it only helps me in the end.
