The game

Crafting

What you gather becomes something you keep. Bring the materials and make it yourself, or have a crafter make it for you.

How it works

The window shows you where you are at every step.

  1. 1

    Gather

    Fell trees, mine veins and hunt. Logs, ore and the rarer things monsters drop are what everything is made of.

  2. 2

    Find a crafter or a station

    Walk up to one and open it. The window lists everything that can be made there.

  3. 3

    Check what you have

    Pick something and every material it needs is listed with what you hold beside it, crossed while you are short and ticked once you have enough.

  4. 4

    Make it

    When every line is ticked the Craft button lights up. Press it, the materials are used, and the piece is yours.

Who makes things

Some things a crafter makes for you, and some you make yourself.

  • Crafters

    People with a workshop of their own. Some work only with what the hardest hunts bring back, so what comes off their tables is rare.

  • Stations you work yourself

    Furnaces, anvils, workbenches and sewing tables, each belonging to a trade. Ore becomes bars and bars become tools and armour, logs become boards and boards become furniture, and hides and silk become leather, cloth and the clothes sewn from them.

Good to know

The parts people ask about first.

  • Furniture goes to your Storeroom

    A finished piece lands in your Storeroom, ready to put out, even if you have not rented a room yet.

  • Good things take effort

    The finest pieces take an evening or more of gathering. That is what makes a well furnished room or a forged set of armour worth showing off.

  • Nothing is lost by looking

    Open a workshop as often as you like. Nothing is taken until you press Craft, and then only what the window showed.

  • Made things can be traded

    What you make can be traded face to face or posted to a friend, so a good maker is somebody people come looking for.
