Earlier this week, New World developer Amazon Game Studios shared some nuggets of information about how the upcoming open-world RPG game's character progression system will work. Now, the studio's also posted an in-depth look at crafting in the MMORPG - and there's a twist. Creating equipment has a little luck thrown in, in the form of "random" perks and enhancements, meaning success isn't just about honing your smithing skills.
In a new blog post, Amazon goes into New World's crafting in a lot of detail, explaining that when you arrive in its mysterious land - Aeternum - you'll "immediately face challenges to overcome", and crafting will help you tackle them. "Trading and crafting skills in New World are powerful tools and progress endlessly," the dev says, and the more you level up these, the more you'll be able to spot, harvest, refine, create, and sell awesome goodies, as you'd expect from the RPG.
However, according to the blog, "any time you craft a piece of equipment, it has a small chance of gaining one or more perks during the crafting process. Occasionally, you may even get an item with a socket for a gemstone.
