These skills are used in the creation of magic items (other than weapons and tomes).
Description
Ornamenting covers the creation of all magic items that are not weapons or tomes. This means it covers a large range of different items such as pants, tabards, cloaks, helmets, and even armor and shields.

Effect
Ornamenting is easily the most versatile of the crafting skills, and most crafters will learn this first before going into more specialized crafts such as weaponsmithing. You require the following levels of ornamenting to make the listed item types:
- Ornamenting Basics: Your character can use craft points during preproduction to create accessories and rings.
- Ornamenting Training: Your character can use craft points during preproduction to create necklaces, wands, and rods.
- Ornamenting Proficiency: Your character can use craft points during preproduction to create bucklers, back items, and waist items.
- Ornamenting Expertise: Your character can use craft points during preproduction to create leg items, head items, and arm items.
- Ornamenting Mastery: Your character can use craft points during preproduction to create foot items, torso items, and shields.

Crafting 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.
Item Slots
These are the slots available to each character and sample props that might be made into magic items to occupy those slots.
Any prop that would typically be worn as part of a pair should be worn that way (the two props together count as one single magic item occupying one slot). With these items both must be worn to get any benefits.

Preproduction
Are you lost and looking for the page with information relevant to your preproduction form? Click here for production, and here for crafting. |
Every month dozens of players attend events, and sometimes as many as half of them will want to create new magic items, produce potions, and make other in-game items. It can take logistics staff sometimes hours a month putting all of these orders together, so we use the pre-production system to help make that job a lot easier on them.
Each month logistics staff members will post reminders to turn in preproduction. You don't need to wait for those reminders, simply send the form in at any time:
- Use this form to submit preproduction; this includes crafting new items, altering props with tinkering, producing new consumables, creating valuable items, turning in runes, exchanging items with merchant, or to let us know that you'll need items for being a high-ranking druid or merchant.
- To submit requests to update obsolete consumables and printed items (such as rituals or very old scrolls) use this form.
By doing this logistics staff has everything they need to make and gather in one single place, making the job much easier.
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.
