Remove Basketry

[Rudder]

I'll suggest that Pottery be added to this skill. By adding Pottery will enable containers for water to be carried over the shoulder. You make a pot, then weave a carry strap. It's far easier to carry fish or gathered berries/nuts in a basket than it is to carry them in a bag or backpack. Also, it is too easy for the foodstuffs to spoil in a covered container.

OOPPP!!!! There it is!!!!!

"I don't plan to remove skills because some players don't like them. As Xsyon expands I will add more skills that interest some players and others will find unnecessary. That's ok. Not everyone needs to enjoy or use every skill. That's the nature of the game!"

Forgive my 1 day old interloping, but I do have a suggestion--not to remove but to redefine the skill into more of a low-tech survival skill. It would basically encompass a variety of primitive production skills like making fishing hooks out of bone and basic flint arrowheads, perhaps toss in the firemaking skill into the pot and a very basic lean-to or small tent as well; a tiny sampling of many of the specialist skills, but at an absolute base level of functionality.

Just throwing it out there

Basketry is awesome!

+1 for basketry

It's a cool skill. No need to redefine or change it.

I don't think basketry needs any sort of change. Honestly Baskets are the the thing I make the least. I have always been a fan of light armor and camouflage. I am enjoying basketry and find that tailoring and it compliment each other very well. Don't nerf this skill because some people don't want to invest the time to level it.

Basketry does not need to be limited to grass weaving, though I agree it needs more attention. Basket weavers could also make items using branches, sticks, twigs and strips of wood. Willow makes for a good basketry material.

Many products can be made with Basketry methods. Some examples: Fish Traps, Shields, Furniture, Panniers for mounts, Fence Sections, Wattle & Dob housing components, Frames for small watercraft, etc.

Also the game description talks about the evolution factor of the game, maybe there is plans for basketry. Can be used to create carts or trolleys in a near future to move material in an easier way. Who knows even pickup for future vehicles or cargo hold for future spaceships when the Tyranid like specie comes from outer space :P

I did NOT read all of the comments in this post.....

I choose Basketry this time and am running out of items to craft. I seem to only make Bins and Packs etc. And most of these are the same (as far as inventory space) - just the Look is different.

I ALSO would like to see more items added that will be useful. The armor - well - everyone in MY tribe likes the leather or cloth better. So creating armor is not an option (for me).

I like the idea(s) of - Fish trap, fencing, canoe type, wall material for tent type building, rugs or flooring, shutters for homes (think screening lol), lawn furniture, etc - I could add more but you get the idea - More is Better!

IT might need more usefulness asfar recipies go (see post above me) but basket weaving is great as it is now.

Just because your clan prefers cloth or leather is no reason to take out basketry. I wear nothing but woven armor, and you'll all know why as soon as pvp is implemented.
