    I wont bore you all with words and phrases strung together to create some form of coherence, instead I will jump right back in! I am extremely proud to invite you once more to join in with the fun right here at Massively that is TurpsterVision!As you are undoubtedly aware, Warhammer Online hit the shelves last week; and with it brought a whole new level of awesome to the MMO playing field. Right here on the site we have spoken of the joys of Public Quests, Realm Vs.

But for now, grab your Spade or Garden Fork and join me in what could quite possibly be the most bloody battle yet...Cultivating!

  • A fundamental guide to crafting in Warhammer Online

    By now, you've probably spilled just enough blood in Warhammer Online to keep up that thirst for more, and crafting might be the last thing on your mind. Fortunately, the crafting system in WAR is effective and functional enough to interest the brightest of the Bright Wizards and easy enough that any Greenskin can get the hang of it very soon. We're willing to also bet that most players haven't really paid attention to the crafting system until they realized that their inventory is quickly filling up with all these crazy seeds and pieces of ruined equipment. Crafting in Warhammer Online can be broken down into a few fundamentals: you have the actual "production" crafting trade skills themselves and then you have the "gathering" skills that help produce or harvest materials for the production crafting skills. As of right now, there are only two production trade skills (Apothecary and Talisman Making) and four gathering skills (Magical Salvaging, Cultivation, Butchering and Scavenging). As with most MMO crafting systems, the crafting skills and ingredients overlap. This means that if you want to get serious about crafting later in the game, you'll need to either make friends with the opposing skills you need, make a few alts, or prepare to spend a lot of money on the Auction House.
