    • Found some interesting observations about the new Craft system on /tg/.

    Actually... There is a point to the craft split. It's an incredibly contrived point, but there IS a point. There is a charm that generates silver and gold xp on it's own, for every craft skill you have at 5. Then there is a charm that lets you turn your craft points... Into experience points.

    So bascially, the system is a semi-trap. It's a huge xp sink to be sure, but if you can just hold on tight and get the pumping machine going... You can turn into an infinite xp generator!

    >You can turn into an infinite xp generator!

    And this is meant to be a good thing? Are you suggesting it was intentional?

    It has to be. The design is so intricate it had to be done on purpose. Thw whole thing is actually specifically designed so that you WANT to have a lot of Crafts at 5, which would normally be useless, because each one generates more and more silver and gold points for you. You then use those to create arttifacts and use white points to get your experience back. It takes a lot to get it going and I do mean A LOT, but once you do, you can replenish all your spent experience on top of having a huge load of artifacts.

    This is so devilishly clever it can't be accidental.

    Exegesis of the Distilled Form says nothing of the sort, at it's current form. You have to spend 25 silver xp 15 gold xp and 1- white xp to roll the amount of white points you have left and spend those to. Then you get the amount of xp equal to the number of successes rolled. No restriction on how you use them.

    Granted, that's a RIDICULOUSLY large amount of points. But that's where Supreme Perfection of Craft and Divine Transcendence of Craft come in. These babies generate points for you and the more active you are the better, because they give you points every time you sleep OR once during downtime. So you WANT to be active. So you just keep on churning those points. Once you have a lot of them, you begin working on artfiacts. You quickly finish those projects to get a lot of white points and then hit Exegesis to get your investment back.

    It's sooooo clever. It's the saving grace of crafters.
