Questions about skills and equipment

When will perfumery be part of the game? Also I don't have all the equipment described in the equipment lists for horticulture, cook, or herbalist. Is that a mistake. Thanks.

Perfumery is on our list of crafts to do! It''ll probably take a while, it might even be a beta development, as one of the things we've got to do now is to make sure that the crafts we already have are all working as intended. Perfumes exist in the game, but they're currently not craftable, and I can't promise an exact timeline of when they will be. Thanks for playtesting and submitting bugs, you've been very helpful so far.

When starting equipment is fully complete (right now we're in editing phase) then I'm planning to make an announcement on the forums about it and also put in patches to make sure to equip everyone who already has a character (and so didn't receive the automatic equipment). Fadila was created before we finished the starting equipment code, so I think all she got was some writing implements? 

No worries, it should be done before January 20th, and we'll make sure everyone with a pre-alpha character application gets their equipment before they get dunked into the "real world" of the game.
