Thank you ... I've seen those, but was wondering, as the crafting system seems to be very extensive (nice!). I am holding on the the stones, lol. Was just curious.

A few more questions:
  • Can armor & weapons can be enchanted by the player, because otherwise crafting of weapons seems to be limited to lower levels (haven't figured out how to craft armor, etc. yet)
  • Is there's something special about the companions' gear (which I'm also holding on to for now)? Their gear is considerably more expensive than equivalent loot in the game.
  • Can ranged weapons be improved similar to bladed weapons which can be improved at a whetstone?
  • The Hall of Heroes in Homestead now has an NPC offering additional companions, but they don't actually seem to be available ... is that not implemented fully in beta?
