Click over to our new systems page to read about some of the crafting options that will be available in Diablo III. You'll learn about our design team's goals for crafting and salvaging items for components, as well as the capabilities of the artisans who contribute to your growing collection of weapons, magic, and armor.

In the future, we'll continue updating the systems page to discuss the philosophy and flavor behind Diablo III's new gameplay mechanics.
