Crafting
Crafting turns what is gathered into the goods the world runs on. Vendors sell materials and seeds, never finished gear, so the best equipment comes from players.
- Routine crafting happens at home on basic benches; anything that makes a crafter better, richer or known happens in town.
- Home benches can craft to the same quality ceiling as town stations. Towns offer advanced stations, training, mastery, commissions, market stalls, and the large shared stations where masterworks need two or more crafters together.
- Quality comes from the recipe, the crafter's skill and the quality of the materials, with a small chance of a critical success. Crafted quality runs Crude, Common, Fine, Superior, Masterwork, Legendary.
- Crafting skill is ranked Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, Artisan, Master and Grandmaster.
- Gear wears with use, and every repair lowers an item's maximum durability, so crafted equipment stays in demand.
- Leatherworkers make saddles and other tack.
