 |
These skills relate to the creation of permanent in-game items with special abilities.
Crafting rules can get confusing; new players can safely skip them until they are interested and ready to start crafting items of their own. The only thing on this page they may want to know about prior to that is the information on using runes. |

Description
Each crafting skill allows a character to use craft points at preproduction to permanently create magic items, weapons, and other special equipment that characters can use. Unlike when producing consumables, there is no cap to how many craft points a character can use during preproduction.
Any character who has all 20 craft points and has earned the Master title in two or more crafting types has earned the title of Master Crafter. They gain 4 additional craft points to use with no coin cost.
Characters who are Chosen of the Craftsman also gain some additional craft points.
Types of Crafting
Ornamenting is used to create magic items such as wands, rods, or items that can cast spells. Characters who have all 20 craft points and Ornamenting Master have earned the Master Ornamenter title.
Tinkering is used to create traps, encampment items, and utility items. Characters who have all 20 craft points and Tinkering Master have earned the Master Tinkerer title.
Weaponsmithing is used to create magical weapons and to make weapons out of special materials. Characters who have all 20 craft points and Weaponsmithing Master have earned the Master Weaponsmith title.
Characters that have reached Scholar Level 3 may craft tomes. This does not count towards the Master Crafter title, but is worth mentioning as they require craft points to make.

Craft Points
For every skill point spent, the character gains 2 craft points. This can be done up to 10 times for a total of 20 crafting points.
Additional craft points can be acquired through other means and stack with these craft points. There is no cap to how many craft points a player can use during preproduction.
Master Crafter
A character who has obtained all 20 craft points and has mastered a crafting skill can gain the following titles:
- Ornamenting Mastery gains the title Master Ornamentor.
- Tinkering Mastery gains the title Master Tinkerer.
- Weaponsmithing Mastery gains the title Master Weaponsmith.
Having any combination of these three titles makes a character a Master Crafter.
Master Crafters gain 4 additional craft points each event. When using these craft points, they do not need to spend any coin.
Master Crafters have unique items only they can craft:
- A Master Tinkerer who is also a Master Ornamentor can craft an Alchemist's Laboratory.
- A Master Tinkerer who is also a Master Weaponsmith can craft the Master's Blade feature onto a weapon.
- A Master Weaponsmith who is also a Master Ornamentor can craft the Master's Staff feature onto a great weapon.
Chosen of the Craftsman
All chosen are also capable of praying at a consecrated shrine to activate it. Shrines are crafted by tinkerer's but each Chosen character is allowed to produce one for free. For more information on this see the Shrine tinkering item.
