Well, I can't actually work valorite yet, because I haven't GM'd blacksmithy, but I can deffiantely work the lower level ores. Maybe your blacksmithy skill just wasn't high enough you tried it?

My smith made a shadow iron sword not long ago, but has never had mining skill. For some reason I have that on a different character.

So there is hope. with this template, I plan on doing BoDs while I burn murder counts for gathering ore from miners. I smack them with a Bokuto, and give the drill of spell combos. I am actually looking forward to this. I can see the gold filling up my bank. Crafters, you over price your PoFs, and now you have me crafting.

Now I've seen it all, Maddux, crafting...

I cant exactly craft yet. Ingots dont drop when you kill Baracoon.

I would usually put magery on a crafter before chivalry - this is just so as a carpenter you can make the abbatoir and pentagrams Why use a character and work a skill you wouldn't be able to completely use?

carpentry
tailoring
musicianship
magery
tinkering
blacksmithy
(can 120 the above or add something like alchemy, fletching or inscription)

Cause I have a friend who already made mine for me..hehe.. I use chiv cause its only 60 points and I dont need to wear lrc, I can use str+ bonus and dex+ bonus armor. Plus this lets me keep my tinkering at 32, so my trap boxes I make arent very strong at all. And I dont ever even want to even remotely stumble across the thought of entering my mind to become a bard or making items to support them either.....ech!!

I am probably throwing away my carpentry though, as the new hpr is capped at 18, and my 40+ suit I was working on will be pointless now. So since throwing away fletching(I hate archers, and mine was for 1 reason, to kill other archers that were WOD/AI gimps, so I enhanced bows for him) and carpentry, I can now probably throw away LJ, but may keep it, and use swds, tact, and something else and be a LJ axer....

Or add alchemy so I can make my own pots. I grow orange plants to supply the guild with those nice little orange petals.. Yes, I am a pvper who grows plants. But I throw them away after their 8 petals have been stripped.. hehe..

You can grow plants in this game??

Yes, Maddux. I understand Yew Ficus is a specialty of some.

Its such a wonderful plant.

where do you think the orange petals come from....... gotta spend 9 days growin them, then 8 days pluckin them, but that takes no skill to use to do it.
