Any insight into how the new crafting system and heritages will compliment eachother. i.e. will taleweavers get special drink recipes, or just better at makeing them.
Or whatever heritage. I just figured this was a logical technique for this heritage, that could help clarify what other ones might be like.

Plus i'm a little vague on how lore primaries and Careers/hobbies work.

Being a Bard I get 2 careers and 1 hobby. Does that mean I could have Engineering and Alchemy as my careers and Enchanting as my hobby. OR.

Does that mean i could have Tinkering, and Shapeing as my careers, and Carving as my hobby.

Thanks a lot Raist.

I thought so, the first seemed to good to be true, thanks for the response.

How many of us our chooseing all tinkering for their three.

I think I personally I might stray into alchemy, and keep a career and career or career and hobby in tinkering.

I plan on making my careers Enchanting(whichever Discipline lets me put really powerful magics on a weapon) and Forging(Weaponsmithing Discipline). My hobby will be the Poisons Discipline >:)

I want to be able to create the two most powerful Small Edge weapons in the game, and name them. They will be twins to each other and they will be legendary. I will dual wield them. And then I will create a myriad of thrown weaponry that I will poison with the most potent of mixes, and I will be able to CHALLENGE and crush Tropicalo, Galain, Aurica and all of the other legendary warriors from the past that I've been planning to defeat ever since I was in middle-school. And then I will be the strongest!!

At least, that's the plan.

Named weapons are a great idea.

You glance down to see a long ebony-hilted Elven telo with a slender tyrium blade in your right hand and a long ivory-hilted Elven telo with a slender tyrium blade in your left hand.
>lo telo
Nearly two feet in length, the blade has a slight recurve, giving it a sinuous and graceful form. The long forward-curving hilt has no guard to mar the weapon's austere beauty, and balances the wicked point superbly for quick and precise blade work. The deep purple damascened tyrium shimmers darkly -- like oil on water -- contrasting against the pale Elven silver lettering that runs the length of the blade.
There appears to be something written on it.
>read telo
An ivory-hilted Elven telo reads:
"Justice."
>read second telo
An ebony-hilted Elven telo reads:
"Vengeance."

I plan on choosing One of the enchanting for 1 career (as soon as we find out what they do, I might use 2, who knows), 1 Instrument making career as my other career (depends how it all pans out, if it requires multiple skills I may not) and maybe something in Alchemy for my hobby.

I currently have no particular plans for Crafting and Heritages to intersect in any terrifically interesting ways.

Why does this wording make me picture a Heritage wagon plowing through the walls of one of the crafting halls with accompanying casualties?

Maybe I'm just odd.
