In this exclusive interview with Trion Worlds, Ten Ton Hammer grabs at the recipe book of crafting in the upcoming Rift MMOG. Sitting amidst the smoking cauldrons and bubbling flasks of an apothecary’s laboratory, we talked with Gina Reams, Crafting Systems Designer, and Adam Gershowitz, Producer, to get all the ingredients of what crafting entails in the fantasy world of Rift.

Adam Gershowitz: There are definitely four subsets of recipes. There is obviously the trainer ones, which are bare bones and designed to get you through the game. Then there are the dropped ones, which are your open economy recipes. Finally, as Gina said, there are the faction recipes and the Artisan store, which are rewards for doing crafting daily quests, which are more of a personal thing.
