that'll be the day if that is implemented! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

no more riftrunning, it's all about blacksmith!

however, a portion of that can be made into DD2 IF there is a path to become a blacksmith in singleplayer or in 'persistent world' multiplayer aspect one can play that role as well.

since lar said so much about total RPG experience, maybe it can happen minus the running around 2 get stuff/items(hopefully). maybe a robust trading system should be implemented plus being a blacksmith should have specialised advantages such as being able to forge weapons(ranging from common to rare to unique depending on skill level) from items brought in by other players. those players may or may not know the 'formula' to make the weapon but without the expertise that only blacksmith has, it's useless.
