This week we have worked on fixing the bugs that were reported, and the two things that received most major adjustments were Guilds and Tradeskills.
The largest change in relation to Tradeskills is probably that Batch Crafting now gives the same amount of trade skill xp as a single crafting, and now got the same attempts per craft as single crafting. There are plenty of other trade skill changes done as well though, some being two (kind of) new gathering skills to level in!
With regards to Guilds you now have the ability to set a message of the day, can see bank logs in a separate view, and. There is also a lot of other changes done, so have a look below.
We hope you will enjoy testing the game tomorrow, and as always we appreciate your feedback and bug reports! :)
