Crafting is a very complex system. To get a trade all your own, be sure to do this quest.
So first off, unlike other skills which increase on success, because crafting is limited to a handful of times a day you get 1 skill point towards either the overall skill or the specific skill you used, even for failure. On a success you actually get two skill points to put towards either the overall skill or the specific skill used.
So to start let me define some terms.
Attempts per day: When you start you can craft twice a day. As you increase the general skills (Alchemy, Tailoring, Blacksmithing) you will get more attempts per day FOR THAT SKILL ONLY. Every 25 points gives you 1 extra try per day in that skill.
You will still have 2 "general" crafts per day, then extra based on those skills.
Appraisal works a little differently. You may only attempt an Appraisal on each item once per day, but you may attempt to appraise any number of items.
Crafting points: This is how you customize your items. You get a certain number of crafting points based on the tier of the item and your skill. Every 25 points, you get one more point to spend on your item. This also lets you buy different abilities for the item to have.
Level requirement of an item will be the total number of points spent on the item. You may have 5 points to spend on an item, but if you choose to only spend 3 then the level requirement of the item is 3.
Durability starts at Poor with 25 and increases 5 for every tier without spending bonus points.
Item Tiers:
Poor (No Bonus)
Common (+1)
Uncommon (+2)
Rare (+3)
Masterwork (+4)
Perfect (+5)
Epic (+6)
Legendary (+7)
Ascended (+8)
Artifact (+9)
Unique (+10)
Material Salvage: On certain rolls you will fail at crafting but will be able to regain half of the materials used. Other rolls you will lose all materials and not gain an item.
To create an item you must write out a post describing your attempt at creating the item and this post will be your crafting roll. Every crafting roll counts as an attempt unless it is a complete failure where you lose all your materials.
Example of crafting:
Nick is in his shop thread and wishes to make a simple straight sword to sell. He has Common materials and 50 blacksmithing skill.
He must use a number of materials equal to the item tier x 2. So two Common materials to make a Common item.
He posts and so makes a crafting roll:
dugJu61U1-20
He managed to make an Uncommon item!
This gives him 2 points for being an uncommon item and 2 points for being level 50 in his profession. So the total number of points he can spend on this new straight sword is 4. If he spends all 4 points, the items Level requirement is 4.
