Vanguard: Saga of Heroes Crafting Preview

Ten Ton Hammer has posted a detailed preview of how crafting works in Sigil Games' Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, based on their experience in the MMORPG's ongoing beta test.
One of the nicest features of the Vanguard UI is that players have a separate inventory screen for adventuring, diplomacy, crafting and harvesting gear. Players wear all 4 sets of gear at once so there is no unnecessary tedium involved in changing out crafting and adventuring gear and weapons. The UI also changes your gear and your avatar's look depending on what action you are performing. Attack a mob and you'll find yourself automatically wearing your adventure clothes. Begin harvesting some copper and you automatically change into your harvesting clothes.
