Casting is one of those loves it or hates it crafting professions. The reason i say that is that, the items produced by casting are so industrial. The raw materials for casting favor very specific nations such as England and Spain, and it makes it quite difficult for players of other nations to master.
For Maritime players, Casting is a godsend. Cannons, Armors and Weapons crafted by master Casters are sort after across the whole game world. Because of the slow wear down of Cannons and Equipment overtime, player built weapons has become one of the most demanded items in game.
A well built Cannon can easily make light work of even the well-armed pirates.
