Has some nice infomation.  the four crafting classes are also listed, I personally like the idea of the alchemist, but I would probably make an artificer =P

Wow!  What's not to like.  If all that makes it in by launch that is going to be a tough decision on which way to go for crafting.  I agree that Artificer or Alchemist look the strongest right now, but that may change before lauch.  I like that all 4 groups have something to offer in the two big areas of houses and ships.

I am hoping that the experimentation aspect gets fully developed either by launch or shortly thereafter; I'd really like to be able to play with experimenting on recipes.

Also, hoping that taxidermy makes it in by launch.  That would be great if we could have our "best" kills mounted for all see.  That would end the arguement of those that like to brag about their hunting prowess, but seem to lack the details to support it.  With taxidermy in place, they would just have to show the mount to shutup the unbelievers!
