Crafting: Weaponsmithing & Armorsmithing
Skill Type: Crafting
Associated Lab: Artisan’s Kit (Tier I–IV)
Weaponsmithing and Armorsmithing allow characters to craft and repair physical equipment using blueprints and appropriate materials. Crafting must be done at a forge, either through an in-play forge phys-rep or a portable Artisan’s Kit. Characters must reach the required rank to use higher-tier kits. Recipes follow a ritual-like structure: a blueprint, a forge or kit, materials, and uninterrupted time to complete the craft.
All repairs are all or nothing. Repairing any item takes a flat 10 minutes. If this time is interrupted or incomplete, the attempt fails and must be restarted.
Artisan's Kits
| Kit Name | Tier | Crafting Access |
|---|---|---|
| Artisan’s Kit I | I | D-tier (Simple blueprints, basic materials) |
| Artisan’s Kit II | II | C-tier (Moderate complexity blueprints) |
| Artisan’s Kit III | III | B-tier (Advanced blueprints, mixed materials) |
| Artisan’s Kit IV | IV | A-tier (Highly complex blueprints, rare materials) |
Characters may only use kits up to the tier unlocked by their current skill rank. Kits must be phys-repped, approved by Logistics, and acquired in-play. All crafting must occur at a forge. Each recipe specifies required time.
