What is possible with modding tools?

Can you:

1 - Create new character items like new weapons and armor (based off existing types of items like axe, sword etc)

2 - Create a new class with new spells

3 - Create new game objects (like new type of chests)

4 - Create new currency items (like materials)

All of those look possible to me.

As far as I know, they will let us use the Tools they used to develop the game, so all of this should be possible.

Possible

Possible as long as you’re not expecting to invent entirely new types of skills.

What do you mean by “new”? You can’t add entirely new types of objects but you can make new ones that are made of already existing object types that look or are named different to the already in game existing ones.

You can add materials and you can rename iron to something else but introducing an additional sort of “iron” will get complicated.

What exactly are the modding tools? Are we looking at a programming language or something more refined?

Various import/export tools and editors that let you do a wide variety of things. Lua for scripting.

Might work by being creative with the quest editor.

Ah, so it is LUA. I was wondering about that since WoW uses it too.

It’s like 10% lua, most of the work is done via text editing pretty much.
