Crafting is quite important to Dofus, as most of the game’s items are made by players. The new system coming in 2.29 roots up everything that wasn’t working, whips it into shape, and adds a layer of better functionality on top.
The list of the changes is almost too long to mention, but we can highlight a few for you. The new system will allow every character to start off with every profession and learn them all. Tools will no longer be needed, many crafting professions will be merged, and crafting will now level up to 200 (from the current cap of 100).
