I doubt I'm gonna craft for the last 100 points and just use runes. It was far too horrific last time, generals symbols were being camped by complete dicks and were being sold for up to 280g I was seeing them in AH for.
What symbols do we need for crafting this time, am I gonna have to camp EK again?
Crafting is a bit more complicated this time. I am only 556/600 so I don't know the full story, but to my extent of knowledge,
There are runes that are dropped by random mobs. These are the Exquisite Rune (Green), the Purified Rune (Yellow), and the Powerful Rune (Red). I might have the colors mixed up.
Each profession needs the basic materials. Lets take garment for example.
I need the basic cloth, armor, scraps, and yarn in order to make something. However, to get the basic cloth, you have to make the basic cloth, and this is where it gets complicated.
There are three types of cloth, Exquisite Magic Silk, Purified Magic Silk, and Powerful Magic Silk, available at 500/600. To make these silks, players must collect the raw material, Magic Silk, and the rune of their choice, exquisite, purified, or powerful. There's a recipe already available for the combining of the Magic Silk in order to turn them into Rune Magic Silk.
Lets say you want Powerful Magic Silk to make something that requires it. You take a Powerful Rune dropped by mobs, the required amount of Magic Silk dropped by mobs, go to your spellbook, hit the crafting icon, select Legendary, and choose the Powerful Magic Silk. Your character will produce a Powerful Magic Silk. Then you buy a recipe that says Poweful Magic Silk shoes, gather some silver yarn, and some armor scraps, and your character will produce the shoes.
Materials are very pricey. No symbols required so far, and I really hope we don't need symbols.
TLDR: Crafting got a bit more complicated, no symbols required for me so far.
