However, they have almost no salt. Koijii's has plenty of salt, but no other supplies and no hide rack. Versucci's in Midor has salt, but nothing else. Would it be possible to have at least one place that has all the supplies and equipment, in one location? It would make the whole process of crafting much easier. Additionally, there are basic supplies that don't seem to be sold anywhere - of course, I may just not have found it, but I have spent over 70 hours on the server so far, and haven't seen empty flasks, for instance. Nor does Gepetto's sell most supplies, like bowstrings and such. Also, at Gepetto's I can't seem to make anything other than planks and arrow shafts - are there PC woodcrafters who might be able to help out with this? Normally I would handle this IG, but it seems more like an interface thing than anything else. Thanks, VK "You know, a gong. Large, flat object that you hit when you want things.

You can either make them yourself or but they from soemone (i can make the flasks and oils easy). Basically if you cant find it someone probably crafts it.  Robber Barron Joined: 16 Nov 2005 Total Posts: 334 Send PM   Re: request from a humble crafter Posted: 22 Dec 2005 08:01 PM Empty flasks and animal meat are the biggest pain in the rear end in the game. Neither can easily be obtained in large quantities. If I wanted to find empty flasks, I would talk to somebody who advertises that he is an alchemist, and ask him where he gets his (i.e. me). It is veeeeery tedius, and I am perpetuallly making them. aka Lucius  renter6 Joined: 23 Jan 2005 Total Posts: 684 Send PM   Re: request from a humble crafter Posted: 22 Dec 2005 09:43 PM When I first started on the server with Vrodo I hadn't wandered into Aramani's, and set about making all the bits to cure and tan hides from scratch. Vrodo made a ton of tanning acid from birch bark, etc. It can be done, and its kind of cool and aboriginal, too... He also frequently considered throttling Versuci to see if he wouldn't drop a pattern book. He was desperate for one! After all was said and done... turns out you can't keep anything in a leather pouch made from badger. Bah! Really though--ask around and use the forums to find what you need and can't craft yourself. There ought to be more of that. "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about dying." "What's that supposed to mean?"

There ought to be more of that. You know, maybe there should be a seperate thread in the trading post forum just for "merchant posters", so that players can see what active player merchants are available. Just a place for a player to list what they make or offer, and (if they choose) their prices.

The last order I placed with a determined flask maker has left me with still over 200 flasks. There are also some places where they can be purchased in limted quantities. - Paul Purpose in life: finding better ways of allowing players to kill themselves.

Some improvements in the placement of items can be made, but you will never find all items in one location. Wood crafting was being improved upon so that better items could be created. I got side tracked and didnt finish it all, but it should be fixed soon Most basic supplies will need to be crafted. My best suggestion will be to find others and work with them to help each other. - Paul Purpose in life: finding better ways of allowing players to kill themselves.

I need them for several alchemy recepies however i cannot use the wood cutting axe because i'm a druid.  DiabloStan Joined: 30 Jul 2003 Total Posts: 653 Send PM   Re: request from a humble crafter Posted: 23 Dec 2005 04:13 AM Not to mention the benefit of blending some of your crafts together, such as tailoring and alchemy. - [Rob], Balthor, Jake, and Thomas.  renter6 Joined: 23 Jan 2005 Total Posts: 684 Send PM   Re: request from a humble crafter Posted: 23 Dec 2005 07:46 AM This could take the form of a forum thread on the boards that comprise a virtual market (many PWs have them), or of a regular meeting place for an IG market... There ought to be a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly gathering of crafters in the Buckshire Trading Post... not a guild, but something like the Market that went on at the Asashi Monestary, just so folk see one another once in a while and learn what's available IG. Am I stepping on some Asashi toes? Lucky for me them monks are all IG and I'm out here typing. Let's see that player-driven economy get rolling! Folk who aren't into it could hand off their wares to someone who is, to act as their representative. Low level folk could show up with ore they don't know how to smelt yet, or random plants they've picked, or ingots of metal and glass... Folks with no skill whatsoever could just show up hoping to get hired as labor/assistant/apprentice... "You five, take this list, a thousand each for half a day's work!" It'd be beautiful! Actually, a little bit of this goes on already, and yes, I find it beautiful. Understood, as it has been said before in the forums this is not a crafting PW but a roleplaying one. These days, crafting and roleplaying seem to be good friends. "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about dying." "What's that supposed to mean?"
