If you haven’t played Neverwinter, the crafting system is similar to Fallen Earth: You click a few buttons and then wait for the cooldown timer to stop. Gathering iron ore? That’s ten minutes. Researching new potions? That’s fifteen minutes. You unlock more research “slots” by leveling up your characters and leveling your crafting skills. Needless to say, the system is higher maintenance than your average MMO and can lead to the frustrating system of having to log in just to keep your professions going.
The good news is that you don’t have to log in to work your professions. Neverwinter’s Gateway allows players to log into a character and make use of some game functions when not logged in. Gamers have access to the auction house to buy and sell items and manage their bids. They can also work on professions, starting research and collecting results, and checking your mail and character stats.
The good news is that Neverwinter’s Fury of the Feywild update will bring much more functionality to the Gateway system. Players will be able to sort their inventory, discard items, open chests, and sell junk for gold. Professions will now allow for buying required materials straight from the market right through your browser, and the Zen market will be open through the browser to making purchases.
