I cannot wait for this game, been following it for a long time and lately been watching the various streams of people in the beta (level 1-15 at least) and this is shaping up to give me the mmo long-term fix I've been looking for.
Check out this guide to the basics of crafting, looks like it's going to be a pretty in depth system -

There's also some other good features on that site (It's pretty much the only one i can get on at work due to the damn filters...)
Fingers crossed for getting a beta invite this Monday when the next round is sent out!
