A press release from EA Mythic gave out more details on the crafting system in their upcoming MMORPG: Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.

It was revealed that there will be two crafting skills called Apothecary and Talisman Making as well as four support gathering skills called Cultivating, Magical Salvaging, Scavenging, and Butchering.

The Apothecary crafting ability enables players to create potions, lotions, and powders which can either heal, enhance stats, or cause damage to others. Talisman Making on the other hand will allow players to create magical items which players can wear.

As for the four support skills, here's a quick run down of each one as taken from EA Mythic's press release:

• Players can train themselves in Cultivating, and plant seeds and spores in order to harvest weeds and fungi, components frequently used in Apothecary creations.
• Magical Salvaging lets players break down magical items, converting them into fragments and essences that can be used in the crafting of Talismans.
• Scavenging and Butchering are used to collect unseen resources off of the corpses of slain creatures – Scavenging allows players to recover hidden items from more intelligent creatures, while Butchering allows players to collect meat, skin and bones from non-sentient beasts.
