The crafting system of Astellia is supposed to play an important role in the game. Although not every player needs to pick up the hammer, everyone should benefit from the system at the auction house. The developers have provided us with exclusive information about crafting.
How is the crafting system structured? Astellia offers players eight different crafting professions and five additional gathering professions.
A single character can learn and practice each craft at the same time, but can only access one gathering profession. Other materials must then be purchased through the auction house.
You will become better in your professions and can create higher quality items the more you practice them.
What professions are available? Players can choose from the following crafting professions:
- Blacksmithing – Creates weapons and armor for warriors and assassins
- Carpentry – Creates weapons and armor for archers, scholars, and mages
- Leather Crafting – Creates leather goods needed for other professions
- Tailoring – Creates clothing items needed for other professions
- Jewel Crafting – Creates jewelry, earrings, and similar equipment
- Archeology – Creates runes and gems that enhance equipment
- Alchemy – Creates potions for health and mana regeneration
- Cooking – Cooks raw materials and turns them into buff food
There are no big surprises in the gathering professions either. Here it’s mainly about finding materials for the professions:
- Logging – Cuts down trees and collects wood
- Metal Mining – Collects metals for the blacksmith
- Gem Mining – Collects gems for jewelry
- Herb Gathering – Collects plants and herbs for alchemy
- Relic Investigation – Collects relics for archaeologists
The importance of crafting in Astellia
The professions in Astellia are to be used to equip characters. The developers have already revealed some details about endgame armor.
Where do I get the best equipment? Players are supposed to receive good equipment as rewards for quests or from lower dungeons in order to easily reach the endgame.
The crafting system is meant to support this and also provide the ability to craft specific equipment that you have not obtained through these means.
For the future, the developers of Astellia plan to expand the crafting system. The professions are expected to receive an update after launch that allows the crafting of some of the strongest armor pieces in the game.
Do I need rare materials for the equipment? To craft better equipment, not only materials that you find in the open world or from merchants are required.
You also need to defeat special enemies or visit dungeons. You will also find equipment from these enemies and in dungeons. This system is supposed to bring together crafters and dungeon players.
Are dungeons just for hardcore players? In an interview with us, the developers of the Asia MMORPG revealed that the game generally focuses on hardcore and casual gamers.
The first dungeons are supposed to be easier, while in the endgame, care will be taken that dungeons remain relevant.
The Asia MMORPG is expected to be released in the West this year, and many adjustments are being made:
