Glorious Ashes community - it's time for another Dev Discussion! Dev Discussion topics are kind of like a "reverse Q&A" - rather than you asking us questions about Ashes of Creation, we want to ask YOU what your thoughts are.

Or perhaps when you process wightstone from gathered ectoplasm, there is a chance that a vengeful spirit will appear and must be defeated to finish the process.

Yes, that is all crap I made up, but who's to say that Intrepid might not turn the processing part of crafting into just as much of an adventure as it is for the gatherers who have to roam the wilderness and dive into monster lairs?

An important thing to note is that raw resources will often need to make it to a freehold to be processed and then those processed resources need to make it from freeholds to a node for trade and crafting. Processors have their o... Read more
