I'm having a blast with DOS but I definitely think that the crafting system needs polishing. Combinations and the plethora of choices are awesome but they don't seem balanced. First of all, some resource allocations are off. Essences are extremely hard to find and yet important for blank elemental scrolls which in turn are the basis for blank books etc... yet, it's really easy to create Witchcraft scrolls because of the abundance of required resources. At least that's how it seems to me unless I'm overlooking something. Which brings me to the second observation : In-game manual. Is there a crafting manual somewhere? It just seems way too hard to gather all the books necessary to learn. Isn't there anyone in Cyseal who just sells a neat "Complete Guide"? ;-) (that would be great and I would buy it in a jiffy!). Finally, I think crafting is just too complex and becomes a tad bit tedious. Is it really that necessary to have to go through so many steps just to create one specific scroll? Level 9 character and still cannot create a rain scroll book. Hopefully others agree with these observations because it would really help with that aspect of the game.
