An Orc Mask.... My fellow Elves would kill me. I tried this crafting thing on test shard, if only I could bring some of those much coveted PoFs back to wear its needed. Never have I faced the possibility of death from my peers on both facets. The simple thought of sitting in Luna or Occulo filling BoDs ios killing me in real life as well.

Its the orcish Visage, the one that gives you 10 str. As a miner and LJer you need as much str as possible. I run with 150 str and as human also. You need to be able to carry as many stones as possible. I have a 8/7 str jewel combo + the visage, 150 str. Also it gives me 125 hp, so when a pker decides he wants to hit me, I dont go down in 2 hits.. hehe..

I think an evasion crafter is in order. I can get ore from killing miners and charging a tax to use the resources of Fellucia.

120 black smith
120 spell resist
120 magery
120 parry
120 bushido
120 eval int

gotta fit mining in there somewhere, or else you will never be able to use anything but normal ore..

Bo, your really killing my aspirations at being a crafter. My first "Goody Two shoes" Character, and he wont be able to defend himself.

It is ok to have a goody 2 shoes character that doesnt fight. You are allowed to have 1 passive character. Most people who pvp do... Your friends wont think any less of you for doing it. So the first step is acceptance.... Oh, and then dont tell them who it is or that you have it. Although everyone has one of these characters, they never speak of them!!!!!

Huh? Why? Other ore isn't that expensive...

If your mining skill is 0, then you cant use other ore.

Yes you can... at least my Blacksmith can...

Although if you make a rubbish item with coloured ore, you can't smelt it down again I don't think. If you can, you only get one ingot back...

So you can make say, a val katana, without having any mining? I didnt know this, as I have never had smithy without mining. I remember getting the messege all the time saying "you have no idea how to work this metal" I thought it was in reference to my mining not being high enough when I was building the 2 skills.
