Making your own stuff Topic is solved

[Hinata]

Can I get a breakdown of what I need to buy/do to make my own stuff?

I wanted to mine and chop wood to get materials for making things and then craft.


Also, Do screws/nails exist in this world?

1. Do nails exist in this world? Yes. They even have a cost associated with them back before the wealth point system. Coins were called Nel back then. Well, you could still talk about Nel in your in-character posts, its just not tracked the same now.
2. Based on what I've been listening to, and someone can totally jump up and down on this and scream at me if I'm wrong, but you could write a couple of threads where you have your character go out and mine for stuff, and go out and chop wood, then write some threads where you refine the metal you mined, and carve and so forth to the wood, to build something, and then put that in as a reward for a thread. The whole point of the skills seems to be, well, to do stuff like this. I believe. I'll test this idea soon.

On this topic, I found this link wiki/index.php?title=A_Guide_to_Crafting_Metal_Items

It explains the threads required to make stuff weapons/armor. Would the same sort of system applies to making clothes/furniture/and the like?

Another question would be: what do I need to buy to do the harvesting? Do I just need a mining + smithing skill kit? would I need a pickaxe+hammet on top of that?

Probably, you'd need some axe skill to cut the wood down and such, but that's how it'd be done. Or textile production for the clothing/furniture and then working flax or whatever material you're working with. Same goes for tanning/leatherworking. There are several steps involved in gathering materials.

For your wealth tier, you can presume access to a kit that is comparable to your wealth tier. So tier 5 would get you average skill kits. You don't need to buy anything extra really.
