Say hello to banded and bronze...

I think someone posted that crafting wasn't put in for a while so we won't have banded at start?

I'll be after whatever I can get my hands on for the first few levels for sure.

Banded was in at the start, I want to say that the guide I used when I started playing in July of '99 was written by a beta player (he referred to a skill of 80 as "master").

Initial jewelry crafting was bizarre, it was revamped early to the system we use here (without the velious stuff), I think around the same time they added the evade ability for rogues.

Alchemy skill-ups were broken for a long time due to incompetent testing (there is no nicer description, it's not hard to get harsher about people telling you it works as intended when they only test the ability on toons assigned a skill of ~ 100.) It was basicly impossible to skill-up alchemy at first, might still be able to find discussion of it on alt.games.everquest newsgroup if that's archived somewhere.

no, 'crafted' armour wasn't in at release. Ironically 'crafted' armour is the name of an armour line that is quested. This was put in with temple of sol ro.

Basic trade skill stuff like banded armor was in from the start, though I believe the trivials for this got changed around a bunch.

If you are interested in smithing, skill it up early, as the trivials end up getting altered in a way that makes reaching high skill levels less easy.

Aren't enchanted gold bars a crafting item and crafting isn't in at start?

I have a gut feeling this is Temple of Sol Ro update... not 100% though.

"Crafting" as in tradeskills is in at launch i think. Blacksmithing, jewelcrafting and whatnot.

What is not here at launch is Crafted Armor, the name of the quest armor set for the warrior, akin to Ivy Etched for Ranger or Lambent for Bard, etc.

I am pretty sure you can still enchant gold. But who knows ^^;

I'm not 100% sure how feasible it is to get this, but it seems to have an excellent ratio for a relatively easy-to-complete and low level quest in Ak'anon. If you're a small race, this thing is definitely worth looking into.

6/20 beats out Langseax, and the extra stats are nifty. The only problem is that the quest reward is random, so you may not get it.

Every time I've gone after that thing it ends up being way more trouble than it's worth, I don't know if it's just my luck or what but I always gave up and went for something less draining on my sanity.

Its also not magic, right?

Still, like twice as good as you expect for the level. Silvery war axe is 6/22 and drops from the king goblin camp area in perma (level 30ish camp?).
