@Gothix said in Bardikens' Compendium of Suggestions Part 4: Gear and Crafting: Nice post. I would just add that in horizontal progression game, crafting effort isn't actually on crafting the gear (which was already stated it will be quick and easy), but on customizing it horizontally. The more horizontal modifications you wish to apply to your gear (fit it more for exactly specific type of monster you will go hunt, for example) the more effort should it take. So players will have easily obtainable gear, so they will never be "naked" for long even if they lost everything, but will still need to put in the effort to obtain highly customized gear, designed to be highly efficient for very specific purposes. That's a fair point. The emphasis on modifying gear to fit a situation didn't cross my mind at the time.

@cystematic So ... 100% there will be a lot of skins but atm they did not provide much data on weapons / armor but they would have to be different and different by race but there is information on the skills that there are type 60... U can find pics of abilities and more data here: https://fracturedmmo.com/feature-spotlight-4-skills-galore/

@prometheus Thanks! It makes sense for a game where gear should be relatively easy to get. Just wanted to be certain. Since I've kind of grown to dislike RNG. Esp. after playing the likes of BDO.
