Crafting is the catch-all term for a series of new creation systems that are being introduced into DragonRealms as part of the Mechanical Lore split. There will be five new crafting-specific Lore skills, each of which will control three creation disciplines.
General Notes
- Only carving, blacksmithing, weaponsmithing, armorsmithing, and tailoring are available right now.
- Currently, only stage 1 of furniture making is released, which is currently limited to tables.
- Impossible to identify who crafted an item that hasn't been marked with a maker's mark.
Materials
- For a detailed list of crafting materials and their properties, see here
- There are mining locations in Stone Clan, Dirge, Riverhaven, Therenborough, Shard, north of Raven's Point in Forfedhdar and Ain Ghazal.
- See Crafting Tools for an in depth discussion of them.
Quality Levels from Low to High [1] 1 riddled with mistakes and practically useless 2 dismal 3 very poorly-crafted 4 below-average 5 mediocre 6 average 7 above-average 8 well-crafted 9 finely-crafted 10 superior 11 exceptional 12 outstanding 13 masterfully-crafted
Skills, Disciplines and Techniques
- There will be 5 skills, each broken down into 3 disciplines, each with approximately 30 techniques.
Skill Discipline Notes Forging skill Blacksmithing discipline crafting tools, smelting, metal containers, metal sundries Armorsmithing discipline metal armor (including shields) Weaponsmithing discipline metal weapons Engineering skill Tinkering discipline caravans, crossbows and bolts, instruments, lockpicks, siege engines, toys, traps and locks/keys, metal imagery, metal assemblies (orlogs, sextants, wind chimes, etc.) Shaping discipline wood: bows and arrows, decorative wear, furniture and containers, imagery, weapons and shields

Binding discipline Constellation Jewelry. Devices that require arcana skill to use, but not mana. Invoking discipline Devices that work automatically with no use involvement.
- Technique slots are earned through skill, up to 13 at 1200 ranks for each skill, as well as careers and hobbies.
| Tech number | Earned at rank |
| 1 | 25 |
| 2 | 50 |
| 3 | 75 |
| 4 | 100 |
| 5 | 150 |
| 6 | 200 |
| 7 | 250 |
| 8 | 300 |
| 9 | 400 |
| 10 | 500 |
| 11 | 700 |
| 12 | 900 |

From Apu and Callahaan.
- All guilds receive 3 bonus technique slots in an area selected by their guild (Note: These are currently subject to change):
Guild Bonus #1 Bonus #2 Bonus #3 Barbarian Weaponsmithing Weaponsmithing Weaponsmithing Bard Tinkering Shaping Carving Cleric Runecrafting Binding Invoking Empath Remedies Remedies Cooking Moon Mage Runecrafting Binding Invoking Necromancer Poisons Poisons Carving Paladin Armorsmithing Armorsmithing Armorsmithing Ranger Carving Tailoring Tailoring Thief Carving Carving Poisons Trader Blacksmithing Blacksmithing Artistry Warrior Mage Runecrafting Binding Invoking
Careers/Hobbies
Players can specialize in a discipline by choosing careers and hobbies.
- Lore Primaries will gain 2 careers and 1 hobby, Lore secondaries 1 career and 2 hobbies, and Lore Terts will have 1 career and 1 hobby.
- At any time, you can check what careers & hobbies you have chosen, how many techniques you have available, etc. with the CRAFT command.
- Careers grant additional technique slots in the chosen discipline equal to the number of overall slots you are qualified for in the relevant crafting skill (see table above). You also get a small skill bonus to creating items in that discipline.
- Hobbies give additional technique slots equal to 1/2 the amount granted by a career, and a tiny skill bonus to creating items in that discipline.
- You can never rechoose a hobby or career, but can forget a technique by talking to a crafting instructor. It currently costs
102550 platinum lirums, but is temporary while the system is getting set up - eventually it will be on some sort of timer like forgetting spells.
Techniques
With rare exception, and unless specifically stated, techniques are not required to perform a task, but instead give a skill bonus to it.
Difficulty
The end quality of an item is determined by difficulty modified by workability, with bonuses from having career/hobby, using high quality material, using high quality tools, and knowing the appropriate tech.
| Difficulty[2] | Base Ranks | With Techs | |
| Tier 1 | Extremely Easy | 25 | ~18 |
| Tier 2 | Very Easy | 50 | ~36 |
| Tier 3 | Easy | 100 | ~71 |
| Tier 4 | Simple | 200 | ~143 |
| Tier 5 | Basic | 300 | ~214 |
| Tier 6 | Somewhat Challenging | 425 | ~304 |
| Tier 7 | Challenging | 550 | ~368 |
| Tier 8 | Complicated | 700 | ~500 |
| Tier 9 | Intricate | 850 | ~607 |
| Tier 10 | Difficult | 1175 | ~839 |
| Tier 11 | Very Difficult | 1400 | 850-950 |
| Tier 12 | Extremely Difficult | +1500 | 900-1200 |
Instruction Understanding
Your understanding of the instructions shows how well you are capable of crafting a masterful item based on skill and career/tech bonuses alone when using 70 quality / 50 workability material and neutral-bonused tools. Barring poor tool quality and crafting errors, once you completely understand all facets of design you should be able to create masterful items under those previously mentioned conditions.
When you can "comprehend all but several minor details" you can generally create masterful items when using properly bonused tools and refined metals at 50 quality and above.
