What is your favorite Crafter Template? or Most useful Crafting skills?

Right now my current template is going to be:

120 Smith
100 Mining
120 Tailoring
100 Carp
100 Tink

I suppose I can add one more skill. I"m not sure what to pick...... Maybe i'll make 2 crafters

What would you pick with the left over skills?

I keep the main craftable skills on my crafter - 120 Smithy, 120 Tailoring, 100 Tinkering, 100 Carpentry, 100 Bowcraft, and enough magery to make magery add-ons (and travel), and enough music to make instruments with music jewels.

I keep lumberjacking and mining on a soulstone and swap out as needed.

I feel like I'm missing a skill

Alchemy and cooking are on my other crafter.

My carfter is GM Smith, Tailor, Tink, Carp, LJ, Mining with about 75 Magery. mithing and Tailoring are both scrolled to 120 but I havent had the heart to train them. Mostly because I dont want to blow thorugh what I have for iron ingots...

I actually put Parry on a Soulstone and put Mining on my Pally Fencer and have been going through Gargoyle Pickaxes. Stil thinking if I want to just keep the mining stoned or on the fighter and maybe bring up Magery and Med on the crafter to amke him a bit more utilizable. And go kill stuff and get to Lord

cooking. Mum would get mad if we could not bake cookies after a hard day of hunting.

SEriously, cooking rules. Tribal paint is a great seller for tamers. but next to tamer rune books in vendor. And you only need 80 skill

Stone the mining over to a gatherer character.

I have a crafter with 120 Tailoring and Smith, and 100 mining (105 with gloves), 95.2 lumberjacking (100 with Melisande's axe), 100 carp, 100 tinker, and 60 magery. But, with me having 120 Smith now and not needing to train anymore, I was thinking of stoning off Mining and putting it on another character, and adding Bowcraft/Fletching. Or I might stone off Carpentry and Lumberjacking for Bowcraft and Musicianship (to make GM instruments). I also have GM Alchemy on another character (just a skill-holder character...none of the skills match up :grin: ) and GM Inscription on my mage.

I didnt know there were music instruments to be made with jewls! Could you please share more about this? Jeez you learn something new everyday in this game.

This is a good idea Kit, I have been working on my new crafter on Lake Austin and I am quickly finding I can't fit it all on one character. With all the powerscroll options and new skills released over the years I would like to see a larger adjustment to the skill cap, but I guess that might make some combat templates too powerfull. Ok then just give a 7th character slot :eusa_dance:

I think Kitiara meant she "wears" jewelry with music on it to get enough skill points to make instruments .

I'd add GM lumberjacking (you'll need wood for the carpentry :grin: ) and put what's left in Magery, so you can mark runes for ore and log spots, and for gating around.

I actually like this one, because I'm a dwarf fan. Plus its great to use garg pick axes for that extra 25 of colored ore.



120 Smithing
100 Mining
120 Swords
120 Tactics
100 Lumberjacking
90 Anatomy
70 Healing

Have to change it up a bit now with the changes to Arms Lore.

120 Blacksmith
120 Tailor
100 Carp
100 Fletcher
100 Tinker
100 arms lore
30 in music (reach 60 with jewels)
30 in chiv (sacred journey)

Not sure which you want explained, so start with the arms lore.
Arms lore now gives +1 bonus per 20 skill to damage increase
and +1 bonus to resists (random) per 20 skill. Makes your equipment jsut a teensie wit little better.

Now, you do not NEED LJ or mining for a crafter, only if you want to gather and craft on same character.

You will not be able to reach the 100 mage cap and keep arms lore, but you can dump tinker to gain room, since there is no runic crafting kit for that skill yet.
