When does the crafting become available for the new location ? Hope more thing to craft and they have better stats. Ape island was disappointing when it came to crafting.
As mentioned in other posts, crafting (and other things) are not immediately available when a new location is released. Basic crafting should be up and running within 30 days of a location release. Elite and optimal crafting takes a bit longer. Also, crafting for new locations will be on par with previous locations. If you were not satisfied with previous location crafting, I wouldn't get my hopes up about new location crafting.
speaking of crafting, isn't the old location crafting items are not usable now? is there a possibility of getting an upgrade to those items like we get elite/optimal for boss drops.
