Games - Ashen Empires |
At the end of 2014 I found that the game was free-to-play and I installed it once again. The basic game hasn't changed much in all that time and surprisingly there is still an active and helpful community. Currently I have a level 69 archer which is good at crafting but not much else.
Crafting
Like many I enjoy the crafting of items. Modern games take this in account by making the crafting process as painless as possible. While you still have to work for the materials and finding them can take hours, the crafting itself is usually somewhat automated. Ashen Empires barely has any of that automation which forces the player to perform a ludicrous amount of mouse clicks.

Crafting Tips
- Check or uncheck "Enable single item usage". When checked, this will convert 5 materials instead of one by one.
- Try and choose items that require the least amount of material to create. More material used does not equal more experience gained.
- Balance your crafting-leveling with your main weapon-leveling or you will find that it becomes hard or even impossible to kill monsters your level.
- Tailoring; Tame a sheep and place it on "stay" so it won't walk around while you shear it.
- Tailoring; Sheep that are being sheared make noise, try not to annoy anyone while doing this.
- Wood, stone and seeds can be found in safe-zones, no need to put yourself in danger when harvesting materials.
