Crafting

Carpentry

Carpentry starts where Lumberjacking finishes. Logs are carved into boards by the lumberjack who felled them; Carpentry takes the board and makes it something — bows and the whole archery line, instruments, and most of what makes a house worth owning.

How you train it Work the bench recipes. Every one of them trains it, and the better woods are worth the trip for the skill as much as the item.

What you need An active carpenter's saw, and boards to work — which a lumberjack must carve first.

Wood tiers

Rarer wood makes a better bow, and each tier asks more Carpentry before you may work it at all.

Tier	Board	Carpentry required
1	Wood	—
2	Dullwood	65
3	Shadowwood	70
4	Copperwood	75
5	Bronzewood	80
6	Goldwood	85
7	Agawood	90
8	Veriwood	95
9	Valiwood	99

What the material buys in a fight

The same curve Blacksmithing's metals ride — a Board and an Ingot of the same tier buy a weapon exactly the same bonuses. Every bow, staff and crook is two-handed and so takes the crit column; the Club is the one one-handed thing this bench makes.

Board	Damage	Hit chance	Crit — two-handed only	Durability
Wood	—	—	2%	—
Dullwood	+1	+3%	3%	+5
Shadowwood	+2	+6%	4%	+8
Copperwood	+3	+9%	5%	+12
Bronzewood	+4	+12%	6%	+15
Goldwood	+5	+15%	7%	+20
Agawood	+6	+18%	8%	+25

Storage furniture

Boxes for a house. Build one, carry it home, drop it on the floorplan and lock it down, then double-click it to open — it takes anything a bag takes, as many stacks as you like, and a stack itself is any size. They differ only in looks and in what they cost to build.

Skill	Piece	Cost
30.0	Wooden Crate	250 Boards
45.0	Storage Barrel	400 Boards + 25 Ingots
60.0	Oaken Bookcase	600 Boards + 50 Ingots
75.0	Chest of Drawers	800 Boards + 100 Ingots
90.0	Grand Armoire	1,200 Boards + 200 Ingots

THEY ARE NOT MORE ROOM. Every one of these draws on the same house storage capacity the chest does — move a stack out of the chest and into a barrel and the house's total changes by nothing at all. What they buy is order: somewhere to keep the reagents that is not the same heap as the armour.

⚖️

BUT THEY ARE FREE TO STAND THERE. Every other fixture on a floorplan — stations, trophies, decorations — is charged 500 stones against the house once locked down. Storage furniture is charged nothing, so furnish as heavily as you like: only what you put INSIDE a container spends the house's capacity.

Furniture — Seating

Twenty-nine pieces to furnish a house with, every one of them buildable in all nine woods — a Valiwood chair is not a better chair than a Wood one, it is a purple chair. Build one, carry it home, drop it on the floorplan and lock it down. Each costs the house 25 stones of storage rather than the 500 every other fixture pays, so a room can actually be furnished. Right-click a placed piece to turn it round.

FURNITURE DOES NOTHING, AND THAT IS THE POINT. Not one piece holds an item, speeds a craft or grants a bonus — the only thing any of them does is sit you down, and that is what a chair is for. The shelves and the racks are for show; the boxes that actually hold things are the storage furniture above.

🎨

A skill floor AND a wood gate. Each piece asks a minimum Carpentry of its own (the Skill column above) on top of whatever the wood you build it from demands — so a Carved Throne is 85 in plain Wood and still 99 in Valiwood. A Furniture Dye will recolour anything you have already stood in the house, on top of whatever wood it was built from.

🎯

Your own weapon skill carries you from landing 1 swing in 5 untrained to 95% at Grandmaster, and the material's bonus is added flat on top of that — with no ceiling short of never missing at all. The top tier's +25% takes an untrained fighter from 20% to 45%, more than twice as many swings connecting; and from 73.5 weapon skill upward it stops you missing entirely, which no amount of skill on its own will ever do. Skill alone leaves a Grandmaster whiffing 1 swing in 20 forever — the metal is the only thing that closes that last gap.

💥

Crit chance is carried by TWO-HANDED weapons only — it is what you get back for giving up the shield slot. A crit hits for +50% damage, and every two-hander rolls for one on every landed swing, from 2% at the lowest tier to 12% at the highest. It is a separate roll from Archery's own crit and from a Virtue Binding's, so a single swing can land more than one of them.
