Yes, these R all valid reasons not to even waste your time training jewelcrafting.

No Cybele (Maiden), Gaia (young adult?), and Yaga (Crone) are the triple goddess in CF pantheon. The exact nature of their personage is a mystery until JTC clarifies, but Christians, at least, are used to this. We're all different people at different times in our lives. IMO Yaga seems like a better fit for order, and Cybele is definitely chaotic. It's not too late to switch them, ACE.

The article shows a shovel and says excavation, not mining, to clear Hunger infestations. It looks like grave-diggers will be collecting those Hunger shards.

Remember when that bees? Tully substituted random-sounding words for the custard offensive words we tried to type in?

In the latest news thread, Path to Alpha, JTC seems to describe the Dregs as what we expected the Shadowlands (GvG) band to be, with POI capture points based on guild affiliation rather than faction, and friendly-fire so badly done that no one will want it. So, unless guild affiliation can be toggled off at campaign creation, the original Dregs concept is dead; as is the name, Shadowlands.

I agree. If ACE gets creative about certain recipes, super-rare resources, and artifacts; they can have fun with it and so will we. I think they should wrap this stuff into the game lore in multiple ways. That way the scarcity/availability of these things makes some sense, and players can get hints (and red herrings) from the lore.

1. Not gonna happen. Repeated suggestions of this have not piqued ACE's interest. 2, 3, & 4. These are already planned and ongoing. Some of that customization should keep going even after launch.

These animal environment hazards look great! Please take the gold off their loot tables, though. If they don't wear clothing, they don't value gold either!

You're assuming a fixed season change rate. The length of a season in a campaign can (and probably will) be dependent on player census.

I guess the race name, "Orc" was copyrighted? There's your Bacon Rune, Hillbilly!

Wolves are pack predators, so they hunt in groups. I think it would be cool, and dangerous, for the entire group of wolves to have a proc chance to focus on the target of a single wolf that has engaged. The pack could be defined as all the wolves generated and governed by a single monster generator.

Shouldn't they be hurling Axes, then?

A hurlBAT is piercing, not crushing? This is yet another reason why weapon bonuses shouldn't be so closely tied to class, IMO.

1. Maybe they are. High elves may be able to contest this if they were interested enough to share their records. 2. All the races seem to be enchanted in CF. 3. You may want to find a better phrase than "servicing the worlds". Someone will likely make sport of this target. 4. I already mentioned that Stoneborn are made of stone. I suspect that their beards just resemble tree roots rather than being wooden, otherwise they'd tend to burn up in the forge. None of this invalidates my statement, but you get points for sticking to your RP character.

Since the stoneborn are made of stone, I would expect them to get bonuses in blacksmithing, stonemasonry, gem cutting, ore mining, and stone quarrying. That's a lot of bonus areas, but it makes sense. Runemaking should, in fairness, be the province of another race. Please share your reasoning why it's so obvious that stoneborn should be best at yet another craft. Remember that ACE doesn't really want too many players in any particular race, for any of the 3 focus areas.
