EverQuest II: The Fallen Dynasty Q&A

MMORPG.com had the opportunity to fire several questions over to Sony Online's Matt Higby about their upcoming EverQuest II: The Fallen Dynasty adventure pack.
Q: What are these new Artisan Rewards and how will they help crafters?

A: Players will be able to quest for items that will directly increase their class crafting skills; these rewards will be able to be obtained by artisan level 50+ players regardless of their adventure level in the AP. Once you've negotiated a good relationship with each of the artisan families in Shin, you can speak to, and help out the different artisan characters. For example, Spark Augren is a (mad scientist) who wants to create some fireworks to impress the ladies of the village. Once you help him gather some of the components needed for his, explos--er. fireworks, you're treated to a show, and, assuming Spark survives, he'll make sure that your effort was well worth it.
