HEROES  ⟩  LORE

Crafting

← Code of the Clay King  ✧  Deep Time →

  • Requires: ✧ Intellect    
  • Origins:  All
  • Start with:  ✪ Repair Item, 4𐤇 resources

You’re a tinkerer, an artisan, a smith, and perhaps more. You know how to create and repair basic equipment, like weapons and armor, and you can improve the items beyond their basic quality. If you know certain other lore types, you can craft magical items. 

Crafting resources. Crafting uses resources (𐤇). You start with 4𐤇 resources. The Items page shows the resource costs for all items you can start the game with. 

Credit and resources. At the start of the game, you can spend credit to buy additional crafting resources, 1-for-1 (though you can't convert resources to credit). After the game starts, however, the imperial economy that made this possible no longer exists. 

Downtime crafting. You can craft items during downtime with the Production endeavor. This endeavor expends ◈ work. You can turn 𐤇 resources into work as part of the endeavor. See Downtime Endeavors for more information. 

✪ Repair Item

✧ Intellect  As a rest activity, you can repair one broken armament. The item must have a crafting resource cost—for example, you can’t repair a broken sword. The repaired item is shoddy, with a durability of 1. You can repair an item fully as part of the Production downtime endeavor.

✪ Quality

✦✦✧ Intellect  Gain +1 Awareness. You’ve learned to produce fine armaments. These masterworks are perfectly weighted and balanced for their wielder. Fine weapons have the following traits:
  • Their durability is increased by 2.
  • A hero wielding a fine weapon made for them can take -1 awareness to gain +2 on an attack roll with it.
Fine weapons require an additional 1◈ work over their usual cost to craft. They also require the weapon’s lore. An ally who knows the lore can help you craft the weapon during the Production endeavor.  Bronze arms require a workshop, and starmetal arms require a Starforge.
*If you have a Starforge, you can craft starmetal versions of these quality arms. They have an additional +4 DR, and require 1 additional work to craft.
