All right, since a lot of players started making craftspeople, it may be time to implement a crafting system.
I suggest that certain items (In Example: Ruined Chain) can be salvaged with the proper equipment into raw materials (such as iron ore), which can then be refined at say, a forge, into a ingot or bar (for example, a bar of iron or an iron ignot), then used at the same forge to create say, a suit of chain mail.
But to actually use a forge, you need to send a app in or something so the DM's are aware you can forge items and approve of it.
This way the DM's can both track characters that are active and using a forge (I suggest that they have to pay the forge owner to use it if it's a NPC owned one), and that NPC's wont even consider letting your PC use the forge unless you've been given a special Out-of-Character token or such that lets you actually use a forge. Of course it'll most likely be kept to non-magical gear for the sake of balance without DM supervision or a secretive recipie with some fairly endearing requirements.
experimentaion will most likely have to be kept to DM supervision, and the DM's can later implement a succesful experiment, or can pre-limit what experiments can be done, but the former should definitly be considered when a new idea presents itself.
So, ideas, criticisms, suggestions? This is only a rough, but I think that if we all consider every angle, I think this could be a good idea to implement. But again, it's the DM's discretion at the end, so whatever they're decision, I'll respect it.
I'm sure I recall that scripted Crafting is being worked on.
I'm interested in the making of keys. Is there a script for this?

A DM will help with that.
I'm going to try and dispel the illusion that "implementing a crafting system" is something you just do. Arkov spent about three effective months on the plant/recipe system, now consider the resources we have available at the moment.
There is not going to be a crafting system. There will never be a crafting system. Not beyond what we already have. We have stated multiple times why we're not using BioWare's crafting system -- well, incidentally, a feasible alternative isn't so easily developed (we don't even have ideas yet).
So much for crafting.
Wasn't there some kind of token system for artisans under discussion somewhere? Is that taking form somehow?
There was, but that was kind of metro's pet and he's inactive for the time being.
