I was purusing the ddo wiki and came across this quote, "To begin with, the crafting system will focus on the making of equippable items like weapons, shields, armor, and accessories. Magic arrows and potions certainly may come later." - Piloto" (http://ddowiki.com/page/In_development)

As a newbie at DDO potions cost a lot since I do not have access to good loot. If potions could be made they may still be high price but then we would have a player economy that could change with time and I might be able to afford a bunch of healing potions for those hard runs.
