It's not just new dungeons and adventuring quests that will be hitting <a href="http://everquest2.station.sony.com/en"><em>EverQuest II</em></a> in the next big patch, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/05/15/features-announced-for-eqiis-game-update-52/">Game Update 52</a>; there'll be plenty for those with a crafting bent as well. Niami Denmother of EQ2 Traders Corner had an early look at some of what will be available and <a href="http://eq2.eqtraders.com/articles/article_page.php?article=g322&amp;menustr=115000000000">has shared her impressions</a> with the community. We already found out that the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/04/23/everquest-ii-lets-you-become-an-in-game-author/">player-written books in GU52</a> will come from crafters, and Niami's preview includes screenshots of a variety of different bindings that can be made (by Sages level 50+, by the way).<br /><br />There will also be some revamping of crafted hex dolls and ranged items, and the new stats should please most. Existing hex-dolls will be upgraded to the new stats upon logging in after GU52's release, but the ranged items will not, just in case some people like the stat distribution of their current gear. The last thing we get to see in Niami's sneak peek is a screenshot of some player-crafted furniture. SOE was quick to mention that this is not all the new furniture that GU52 holds, but the preview should be enough to get people to dust off their crafting equipment ahead of time. Make sure to <a href="http://eq2.eqtraders.com/articles/article_page.php?article=g322&amp;menustr=115000000000">check out the screenshots</a> of the other goodies that will be available.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/05/26/a-look-at-crafting-updates-in-eqiis-game-update-52/">A look at crafting updates in EQII's Game Update 52</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 26 May 2009 11:00:00 EST.
