## Crafting Guidelines

This page is an OOC in depth guide on Shinto's crafting system. It is a helpful tutorial for players who intend on utilizing the crafting system to its fullest capacity. Currently, the only players allowed to use this system are those that have declared themselves to be blacksmiths or alchemists. However, there are ways that non blacksmiths and alchemists can participate, which will be outlined below.

If you have any questions on the crafting system as a whole or the crafting guide, feel free to make a ticket on the discord and ask away.

## Basic Information

### Proficency Levels and Skill Trees

An important thing to keep track of when crafting is your character's profiency level. This level will limit what you can do within the crafting system. Craftsman characters will have their proficency level as a role on the discord as a helpful reminder. Generally, there are four tiers of proficency for both crafting groups, which are as follows: Novice, Pupil, Blacksmith/Alchemist, and Master. Each tier will come with unique advantages.

In addition, each proficency level will have a skill tree that craftsman can progress. As you repeat skills found on higher branches of the tree, you will unlock additional skills to practice and make use of. There is no set guideline on how to master a skill and how quickly you unlock those skills will be determined by GMs. You will be notified when you unlock a new skill. Continued use of the crafting system and advancement through the crafting branches are a good place to start. As of current, the skill trees are still a WIP. We will make an announcement once those trees can be utilized. We recommend looking at the wiki skill tree pages here: **Blacksmith: Novice Skill Tree, Alchemist: Novice Skill Tree.**

### Recipes

In order to craft an item, you will need a crafting recipe. Each recipe will outline what materials are needed and what skill level and proficiency tier are required to craft the item. If a craftsman attempts to create something beyond their profiency tier, the material will be wasted and nothing will be made.

New recipes can be found and unlocked through events that you can request from Ctrl (OOC) and Itsuki (IRP). So far, only two books have been found with a handful of known recipes. You can find those here: **The New Book of Steel, The New Book of Poisons.**

A masterlist of recipes can be found here: **Crafting Recipes.**

## How to Start

### Material Gathering and Events

The first thing you will need to collect in order to craft a recipe is the required materials. Each recipe page will have links to the correct material pages that outline where you can find the material and what knowledge is needed to aquire them. Some simple materials can be collected by non craftsmen while more advanced materials will need to be collected by craftsman with a certain proficency tier.

In addition, some materials can be attained without needing an event. To collect those materials, players must simply RP collecting that material in one of our RP channels and submit a gathering request in our craftsman channel. How much of the material you gather will vary and is left up to GM discretion.

To schedule a material gathering event for a more advanced material, you will need to fill out the event request form in our craftsman channel on the discord. Once you complete the gathering event, you will be asked to submit a gathering request form in our craftsman channel.

### Crafting

Now that you've collected the correct materials, you can begin crafting. To craft an item you will be required to roleplay crafting the item in one of our roleplay channels. After completing the roleplay, please submit a crafting form in our craftsman channel. Assuming that all of the requirements of the recipe has been met, you successfully craft that item.
