22.1 Crafting

The tradeskill system in Aetolia is diverse, offering tailoring, woodcraft, jewelcraft, cooking, brewing, and even furniture making. Along with tradeskills, there are several talents (HELP TALENTS) - floristry, fletching, pyrotechnics, luthier, ventier, tambourier, linguistics, bombcrafting, fumology, papercrafting, barding, and taxidermy.

If you wish to learn a particular trade, you must buy a permit for it (BUY <tradeskill> PERMIT, eg: BUY TAILORING PERMIT) from the craft office in a major city. Permits cost 100 bound credits per tradeskill. 

Lesson investment in this new miniskill will improve the quality of your merchandise as well as open up new abilities to work with.

NOVICE       - Access to DESIGN and ability to work with default patterns.
EXPERT       - Ability to submit custom designs. These designs will be 
               approved by our Craft Guild, overseen by Becue.
TRANSCENDENT - Ability to permanence 10 designs within that trade.
                         

Once you possess one tradeskill, you are able to join the Craft Guild of Aetolia. The main goal of the Craft Guild is to provide a support network for questions and resources to crafters. To join, simply go to any craft office and JOIN CRAFT GUILD. Approvers are selected by Becue from amongst the Craft Guild to help manage the queue of submitted designs.

The syntax for the crafters' guild is as follows:
CRAFTERS <msg>        - Talk on the channel.
CRAFTERSOFF           - Stop listening to the channel.
CRAFTERSON            - Start listening to the channel.
