ATHW who doesn't love it!

The idea I had the other day was this.

You can select any 4 items you own. Having them selected means each time you get a tick (XP + Gold i.e x1 x2 x3) 1 point is add to them. You must also be wearing the item. x3 adds a +1 x4 a +2 and x5 a +3. So at x5 you gain 4 points to your crafting XP bar. Each 30 points = 1 skill point. If this works out to be too fast or what ever then just change 30 to 40, 50, 60 or what ever it needs to be.

What we need is a drug/crack like xp bar that we can stare at and cry. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

I like the idea but it would need to scale up like the current xp leveling system in crpg.

I hate ATHW. I only get it when I'm under level 10. No wonder I stopped Strat.

Also, I think the devs didn't exPlain the current athw system mechanic because they don't want Ppl to abuse it. A system like this should have an element of randomness to it to keep it from being abused. Keep the athw xp bar but make it upgrade crafting skill for random pieces of equipment. The number upgraded could be fixed or random as well.

How about this. Your crafting degrades if you don't have the item selected.

[Havoco]

I guess it would depend on whether you'd want specialized crafters for the selected equipment or a more grind based system for all saved equipment.

[FRANK_THE_TANK]

Yeah I hate the idea of more grind.

Perhaps it should be limited to 2 slots instead... I just think people should be able to select a small group of gear and stuff.

[Garem]

Crafting in the game is neither fun nor intuitive in general. Specifically, ATHW promotes limitless grinding. The upside is that those who grind get better, cheaper gear in Strategus. I like some correlation between cRPG and Strategus, but the current implementation just doesn't do it for me. Especially the limitless part.

I'm actually quite happy playing past level 31, I never have to think about the equip I wear smithing skill wise. But yeah I agree with the original poster.
