Age of Conan Gameplay Preview #11

Funcom's official Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures website has been updated with an eleventh gameplay preview, this time detailing the game's crafting system. A snip about Gemcutting:
Taking advantage of the skills of the armor and weapon smiths, the gemcutter specializes in honing and crafting gems to decorate and enhance equipment.

While some gems only have minor effects, others found in crypts or carried by those practicing darker arts may carry strange powers that can be harnessed by the gemcutter's craft.

As the gemcutter is familiar with working with a fresh set of armor or weaponry, they can also provide some more straightforward modifications such as counterweights or other reinforcement.
