Item(s) of the Day: hand-crafted housing items

Today I bring you two items from the dark depth of the Test Realm. Both of these nice looking items were made using to new crafting stations. The directional sign can be made on the Basic Crafting Station but to make a stack of papers you have to buy a Housing Crafting Station (I bought mine from the Furniture Vendor in Krokotopia, but I suspect you can buy them everywhere but Grizzleheim).

GrizzleHeim: impressions

I poked my head into the test server and looked around for a few hours last night. I'll probably look around some more, but I don't how much more because the version of my main that was copied over is 2 levels (and some good equipment (see my post from a few days ago)) shy of where I currently am. I'd like to play it one live soon, but I'd prefer they take the time to make everything work first.

The only problems I had (besides having to download everything again, which doesn't count) was the client crashing when I tried to talk to one of the Ravenwood trees (the life tree, I think) and the Northguard Yardbird not 'activating'.

I haven't tried the Bazaar, so I can't comment on that.

I tried crafting a bit and I think it's got great potential. I don't like the timer on the crafting slots, but I feel that when you have more slots it probably won't be as much of a problem. The Mist Wood for the first two quests were a bit hard to come by and required a lot of running around (I did get a lot of cat tails along the way though).

Even if I don't progress far into GrizzleHeim, I'm definitly going to go as far as I can in crafting on the Test Realm.
