After a quick run around town to admire the visuals (Mutants like their statuary, don’t they!), first stop on the tour was the Crafting NPC. Ryan went through a brief description of how crafting works (see Roadhouse Session #3 for more details on loot and crafting) and why it’s a Good Thing™. As we’ve already learned previously, you’ll still be able to get by without developing your inner artisan, as all kinds of gear will drops off of appropriately levelled mobs in the game. Those that choose to play down the crafting route will be able to come up with some exceptional gear, though - so if you’re not so inclined to pursue that path, you’ll probably find yourself buying their wares down the road! (Note to readers: *All* my puns are intentional…)
