Crafting

Crafting is the heart of the player-run economy. Raw materials are used in items, armor, and weapons which lose durability as they are used. Foods, crops, and other consumables decay naturally over time, so crafters and gatherers are always in demand.

Players can level up as many crafting and gathering skills as they wish on one character.

Forestry, Fishing, and Farming

Cooking and Herbalism

Tailoring and Leatherworking

Engineering

Mining and Metallurgy

Armoursmithing

Weapon Forging

Artificing

Workshops

Crafting workshops are labeled by profession and can be found within the walls of nation controlled territories and resource gathering areas like farms, mines and lumber mills. These can go to +3 quality.

Every crafting recipe has a preferred workshop, displayed at the top of the crafting menu. Using the correct workshop will always yield vastly better results and more crafting experience than using the wrong one or not using one at all.

Crafting workshops and locations:

Tailoring and Leatherworking - Temples, Castles, and Forts

• Armorsmithing - Temples, Castles, and Forts
• Weapon Forging - Temples, Castles, and Forts
• Cooking and Alchemy - Inns
• Metallurgist - Mines
• Engineering - Lumber Mills
• Villager - Farms

Guild provinces have the capability to build +4 workshops and build some of them wherever they choose. Crafting at the highest quality workshop possible is always the best choice because it will yield higher quality results.

Upgrading Workshops The crafting workshop level is determined by its current upgrade level and the location’s efficiency level. Both of these can be improved at the architect's table inside the bastion building. Low bastion efficiency will cause the workshop to temporarily downgrade until is improved.

Any player may upgrade a crafting workshop or fill the bastion to improve the level of the crafting workshops.

Obsolete Crafting Workshops Obsolete crafting stations including stumps, bowyer's tables, sawdust barrels and leather tanning racks, are not used outside the capital city and cannot be upgraded. It is recommended to avoid using them due to their low quality and limited recipe compatibility.
