spellcrafting.. how could it be?

Trashs1 · January 2018

i reasently read a datamine topic on reddid which includet this magical word "spellcrafting" for the summerset isles

whithout any detailed info i started to think about how it could be and which problems can ocure with such a system

after some time of thinking.. im sure such, a system can affect skills only in a minor way.. if not, the game would go out of controll balance wise

lets take a comon class skill morph like puncturing sweep for eg. i think the system will allow to add some minor effect to it like a small slow or small elemental effect but wont change the entire skill to something new

what do u guys think about it?

Acrolas · January 2018

At this point, there are so many threads full of rumors and old information and speculation that it's probably best to just wait for an official announcement, if any. I think one of the reasons the idea is so popular is because spell crafting means something a little different to each person who talks about it so no matter what happens - if it happens - the system just can't live up to the hype surrounding it. So there's going to be disappointment, that much is certain.

Narvuntien · January 2018

I would have it be a consumable scroll like a potion. Pop it for a spell effect on a reasonable cooldown.

It would be a way to kind of multi class a character.

M0bi · January 2018

As much as I would LOVE full on spellcrafting...i.e. new skills and a skill line of 5 skills and an ultimate that you can customize and choose yourself. I keep getting the feeling that it will be little more than OP says it may be, or even a kind of 'transmog' for spell effects.

I mean...who knows...

we need jewelry crafting
spell crafting is humbug

Betsararie · January 2018

I just don't really think it's a good idea. If you want to ruin game balance, then you'd be an advocate of spellcrafting haha.

Given the mess the game is in now, I don't see how this will help things.

RupzSkooma · January 2018

Huge fan of spell crafting.
To be fair I hate balanced PVE.I want to feel really UP in lower level and damn OP in the higher level for all but the few top level contents.

Knootewoot · January 2018

I hope spellcrafting is like making one-use scrolls in which you can craft spells using consumables like

spell power rune
spell duration rune
spell range rune

And stuff like that. and maybe combine spells. Like having 1 ball in each hand and you can cast a fire ball and lighting ball seperate or (like Skyrim) you can combine both hands to create one huge firelightingball.

Of course this costs no magicka but does scale of spell power/magicka

Oh well i can only dream

Apache_Kid · January 2018

It would be..
Unbalanced.

idk · January 2018

We really know little to nothing about it and can only speculate in a virtual vacuum.

Peekachu99 · January 2018

Hasn’t “spellcrafing” been datamined for years, though? If we get it with Summerset it will be pretty basic: dps/ buff/ debuff (pick one) with minor variations and skins. Probably a limit of one “spellcrafted” skill per bar.

That is what I hope for as well.
Allowing people to spellcraft skills would be iffy, since it would end up in everyone and their granny running the same combination of super-effective skills.

Allowing it to make spellscrolls... consumables that can cast any class skill and possibly more... that would be quite all right. Then a dragonknight could for example make fire spell scrolls, and a nightblade could use them, while that nightblade might make fear scrolls, and the templar might use them, and the templar might make healing scrolls... etc. And since those were all consumables useable by anyone... it would not be that big of an deal, since few could afford to waste such consumables on everything, yes?

Oh, I do hope we will see more class skills as well someday especially all the stuff NPCs use and make me envious about... but I would much rather see those come in other ways, with some limitations. Perhaps as some sort of prestige classes, like I suggested in my old class morph idea, or as world skill lines where you have to choose one among many, or as additional guilds, or whatever...

Stovahkiin · January 2018

I’m not against spellcrafting, but it would have to be fairly restricted in order to preserve balance (Or what’s left of it :P)

I’d personally see spellcrafting as a new skill line, and as you level it up you are able to create a new spell/effect to fill each normal ability slot for the line. As I said, you likely wouldn’t have that much freedom with it, but it would allow for at least a bit of creativity and individuality.

PaixRomanus · January 2018

Spellcrafting would be difficult in a game like this. It's wouldn't replace a skill because if you could craft your own skills then it would be pointless to be a class at all and this would be become another Skyrim. I could see it as a new crafting professional like alchemy and enchanting and the spells would be used the same way potions are.

The real question is: Is this needed in this game at this time? Is this something that would fix something that is lacking in the game? Is there something DPS, Healer, or Tank wise that you could use to benefit you that you do not have now that could come in the form of spell crafting?

I believe the answer is no, but we will have to wait and see, but the thought of spell crafting is cool for sure.

OP
Completely unbalanced and unfair to stamina builds
Fun

josiahva · January 2018

Blah Blah unbalanced Blah Blah. So tired of this unbalanced word. I want to see spellcrafting...or more specifically I would like new skills(for my class) I dont care if you call it "additional morphs", "new skill lines", or "spellcrafting" I just want more diversity and not being forced to use the same skills as every other person. Hell, I would settle for re-working of unused morphs into something more useful.

I think instead of adding any of that, it would be simpler to just unlock the skills of the other classes, just making them cost more if you are not that class(a DK casting streak would cost 15% more than a Sorc casting it) and take 10x as much experience to level those skill lines. This would give me the extra desired utility without having to come up with anything new, an easy lazy way for the developers to add diversity.

I’m primarily a magicka player but I do hope stamina abilities or at least stamina morphs will be on the table so that stamina builds can participate in the Spellcrafting system.

well according to this video, spellcrafting was supposed to be a thing, where you would find some rune tablets of some sort and would be able to attain new skills, so it would be pretty hard to balance, but not impossible of course.
in my opinion, new stuff is always good, so yes please!!!

Jewelry Crafting? NO. Never. Never do it, ZOS! That would break the need to make Veteran Dungeon to get purple jewelry and the NPC "The Golden".

So stop. In addition, if ZOS wanted (to make the game more casual than it already is), ZOS would have already done so.

eso_lags · January 2018

I am fairly certain this will come, but who knows when. Im hopeful its soon because at this point in the elder scrolls online, mainly because of lag ruining pvp for me, im hopeful for as many new things as possible. balance will never be in this game unless they balance pve and pvp seperatly (which they will not do).

So please zos, keep up with other mmos and add classes and new systems like this to bring some players back. Make me feel like i did a year ago, and how i feel when i can RARELY go into pvp and play how i can when the server isnt lagging for everyone.

Spellcrafting has now been datamined

I'd like them to remove all classes and go with build your class skill line... Kind of like what they did with zones on One Tamriel. That is Elder Scrolls at its core after all... You decide who you are going to be.... Massive rework in that thou! Haha

MLGProPlayer · March 2018

It can't be, without breaking class balance.

Animus-ESO · March 2018

Spell crafting was data mined a long time ago and more recently more assets were put in the game, Back in 2015 a list of spells were data mined and I am sure they will be updated to add some stamina morphs and various things that have changed in the game. Here a list of skills already confirmed.

The Spells (600 varieties)
In a very intensive data mining effort, I have found 20 spellcrafting spells in the game files. These 20 spells with 6 focuses each and 5 different tablet qualities represent 600 new spell effect combinations for ESO. ZOS has said that Spellcrafting is a “system” and will not be DLC. It will be a free update upon its release. Without further ado your spellcrafting spells:

Note: If a spell focus appears to be identical to another focus, the difference is most likely in magnitude and/or duration.

Gnortranermara · March 2018

They've already designed a system for Spellcrafting described in old videos but I don't think that's quite how it'll be implemented in the end. My personal favorite guess is that spellcrafting will be directly linked to a new Spellsword skill line (One-hand & Rune?) where you can only use a crafted spell when you have its rune equipped in the Off-hand. That approach would simultaneously introduce a melee magicka weapon line and preserve balance by limiting the player to one crafted spell per Spellsword bar. I'd ditch dual-wield on my Magplar in a second for a skill line with useful passives and a custom spell.

Besides OP speculating on even his speculation, it really is obvious that Zos will announce the next chapter soon if it is to be released next.

We really do not need to come up with tones of theories as to why, there is one simple and straight forward one that has to do with marketing.

lol, what can I say? I am desperate for a Summerset announcement of any kind, and I've been waiting for one ever since the datamines came out. If writing up speculation posts helps pass the time until announcement, then so be it.

Please continue doing it, I really enjoy reading your thread. I wouldn't mind new data mines either haha.

thanks for the kind words.

well, we found some stuff in one of the recent updates that isn't big enough for its own post, but they're interesting anyway.

mainly, there's a new mob called "HM_SUM_Wraith" in the lang file, sounds like some boss or mob for a hard mode dungeon for summerset.

also, there's a new tooltip text for the summerset prologue quest with vanus galerion:

"An enchanted stone from Vanus Galerion contains a private message addressed to you. Activate the stone to start a quest to find the missing Wyrd Oracle and glimpse what's to come in the next chapter of the Elder Scrolls Online's ongoing saga."

there's also new spellcrafting stuff, in particular a spellbook ui, separated by magic school, in the .ZOSFT file:

Nick Konkle said that you would store rubbings of ancient tomes in a spell book for spellcrafting, this seems to be it. I would imagine that you rub off the tomes with charcole or something, then you'd put them in this book to keep track of how many spells you've completed/unlocked, separated by magic school (destruction, restoration etc)

Here is some possible data mined info. Nothing to indicate scrolls, but it does seem to indicate some melee functionality to spellcrafting. Guess all we can do is wait and see.

I hope Spellcrafting will require an extensive amount of exploration and revisiting "old" places, e.g. components hidden in ruins and you need to revisit every ancient delve to complete your Spellcrafting book.

Besides OP speculating on even his speculation, it really is obvious that Zos will announce the next chapter soon if it is to be released next.

We really do not need to come up with tones of theories as to why, there is one simple and straight forward one that has to do with marketing.

lol, what can I say? I am desperate for a Summerset announcement of any kind, and I've been waiting for one ever since the datamines came out. If writing up speculation posts helps pass the time until announcement, then so be it.

Please continue doing it, I really enjoy reading your thread. I wouldn't mind new data mines either haha.

thanks for the kind words.

well, we found some stuff in one of the recent updates that isn't big enough for its own post, but they're interesting anyway.

mainly, there's a new mob called "HM_SUM_Wraith" in the lang file, sounds like some boss or mob for a hard mode dungeon for summerset.

also, there's a new tooltip text for the summerset prologue quest with vanus galerion:

"An enchanted stone from Vanus Galerion contains a private message addressed to you. Activate the stone to start a quest to find the missing Wyrd Oracle and glimpse what's to come in the next chapter of the Elder Scrolls Online's ongoing saga."

there's also new spellcrafting stuff, in particular a spellbook ui, separated by magic school, in the .ZOSFT file:

The melee functionality might be for "bound weapon" spells.
