Thanks Xalveris. I appreciate it

 

Lots of new recipes coming in Prototype 2!
I will probably make a dedicated thread about it. But we took all of the Prototype 1 feedback to heart.

I'm always excited to support the crafters on MF.
A brief list of the additions:

• Blacksmithing now has weapons with damage types. You'll be able to craft weapons against specific enemies.
• Cooking has a lot more recipes. Now uses the new flavour system.
• Jewellery making has more personalisation options on the products.
• Now added Tailoring - crafting various armour types. Quite different to Blacksmithing in the way recipes work.
• Each crafting discipline has a range of recipe difficulties - the easiest recipes will be made completely public, normal recipes (large majority) will have released ingredient lists, Mastercrafted recipes will be completely hidden.
• We now have a plugin that calculates item values - this means all the recipes are properly balanced.
• Elpida has NPC shops. You'll be able to trade most of your finished items with NPCs.
• Combat has recieved tons of updates, meaning dungeon bosses drop rare crafting components. Hunting is now a thing too.

 

There is already a shop in Elpida that deals with tamed animals. @Tomas can expand on this.

 

Definitely. Though it is further away.

With the release of Prototype 2, you'll see different animal types wandering around the island. They will have different combat tactics and will drop different crafting components.

Very shortly after, we will add hunting trophies - those are obtained by killing "Alpha" versions of normal animals. You'll be able to trade those in at the hunter's guild for various items and reputation.

Pets and followers will come towards the end of Prototype 2. As those will use our NPC plugin, you'll be able to interact with your pet in a range of ways, much more so that what you see from pets in other games. These will likely be purchased from the taming shop, until we add taming in.

Prototype 3 (this is still quite far) is planned to add NPC lifestyles. This will likely include animal lifestyles as well. Animals in the wild will travel the land, hunt each other, breed, explore and create homes. Players will be able to observe those patterns and hunt them systematically. This was our very initial goal, but it requires a substantial amount of coding and supportive plugins.

Trapping is a really good suggestion, one that we haven't considered. It would work great with our animal plans in the future. If players are able to exploit animal behaviour patterns, it only make sense to use traps in that case.
