More 1.76 patch goodness up on the Pendragon test server, notes for 1.76B from the Herald:

INTRODUCTION TO BASIC CRAFTING This version introduces a new Basic Crafting tradeskill, which will be granted to all newly created characters, as well as existing characters which have not yet joined a craft order, as a means of introducing how crafting works in Dark Age of Camelot. For more information, please read BASIC CRAFTING section below. NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES - The /bg grantcredit command will now function properly when granting credit for ML10. - (Pendragon Only) In some cases, boats were getting stuck and were unable to move in the North Sea in New Frontiers. This has been fixed. - (Pendragon Only) Due to issues with the fossil healer pet not casting their heal spell while being attacked by enemy targets, we have backed out of the change that was intended to keep the pet from running away indefinitely from attackers. BASIC CRAFTING We are proud to introduce our Basic Crafting system. This system was designed and built with the new player in mind, as a means of introducing the new player to the craft system available in Dark Age of Camelot. Here is some more information on the system and how it works: - All newly created characters, as well as existing characters which have not yet joined a crafting order, will be granted the Basic Crafting skill upon logging into the game. - Since Basic Crafting is purely an introductory crafting system for new players, or existing players who haven't chosen a crafting order, recipes in this system are limited to samples of all of the original orders (tailoring, weaponcrafting, armorcrafting and fletching), up to items that require 200 points of skill. The Basic Crafting skill cannot exceed 200 points and if players reach that level, they are encouraged to choose one of the advanced crafting orders in order to proceed to recipes that exceed 200 points of skill. - Spellcraft and Alchemy are excluded from the Basic Crafting order system. - Players may choose another crafting order to have the Basic Crafting order replaced. When doing so, any skills shared between Basic Crafting and the new order will be transferred. Since Spellcrafting and Alchemy do not share any skills with Basic Crafting, in cases where the player chooses Spellcrafting or Alchemy as an advanced craft order, all of the Basic Crafting skills and sub-skills will be removed. - While players will be granted the four original advanced crafting orders (tailoring, weaponcrafting, armorcrafting and fletching) along with Basic Crafting, those orders can never exceed the Basic Crafting skill level. If a player wishes to pursue an advanced crafting order instead of Basic Crafting, he must visit the appropriate advanced crafting trainer and have the Basic Crafting skill removed by selecting the advanced order.
