    How would you feel about a Neverwinter professions blog? No, you're not expected to write one, silly, but you can certainly read one if you're interested in the game's crafting mechanics. In a nutshell, crafting involves hiring numerous NPC assets to complete crafting-related tasks. These NPCs include Leadership Mercs, Platesmithing Miners, Mailsmithing Prospectors, Leatherworking Skinners, and Tailoring Weavers. Over time, completing various tasks will award profession XP as well as resources and rewards. Your NPC assets will work on your tasks while you're out adventuring, and you can also "tinker with your professions on the Neverwinter Gateway website when you're outside of the game client," according to the diary. Learn more at the game's official site.

    Cryptic and Perfect World are throwing open Neverwinter's beta doors on April 30th. A joint press release states that there will be no character wipes or play restrictions after the open beta period begins. If you can't wait until the end of the month to get your free-to-play Forgotten Realms MMO fix, you can become a Neverwinter Founder and take part in the 60-hour Beta Weekend 4 that starts on April 12th. Founders will get first crack at the game's profession system and may opt to pursue leatherworking, platesmithing, mailsmithing, or leadership. [Source: Perfect World press release]
