A Maker Mark is a stamp that allows a crafter to apply an identifying mark to the wares he or she produces. The mark may be seen when you ANALYZE an item.
Creation
Forging of the mark requires the Maker Mark Design technique.
The mark instructions are sold in the Forging Society.
The mark's nature is set by the purchaser of the instructions, not the actual crafter of the mark. This allows someone without the proper skill to make a mark to give it to a crafter who does.
Each set of instructions may only be studied once and therefore will only allow for the creation of a single mark.
The syntax is MARK <item> WITH STAMP but may only be done for a short period of time after the completion of the item.
Use
The stamp can only be used by the person who purchased the original instructions. Advanced and Custom marks will be restricted to disciplines where the mark user has either careers or hobbies.
- That doesn't appear to be your stamp. You consider the penalties the Society would impose upon you for such a transgression, and decide to stop the marking.
| Durability Cap | Speed Cap | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Difficulty | Weight | Durability | Speed Cap | Durability | Speed |
| basic <metal> stamp | 6 - s. challenging | 5 x density | 16 - unusually resilient | 8 - exceptionally effective | 5 - particularly weak | ? - extremely effective |
Cap indicates the best possible score that can be reached using normal metals. It should be noted that it is not possible to reach both caps in the same item.
Basic
Basic maker marks are available after approximately 150 hard work orders in any craft (or about 300 challenging), assuming no prestige decay due to time. They will impress the person's initials into the item.
Advanced
These marks are not available yet, but will consist of a set series of design elements that can be combined to a unique mark.
Custom
The marks are not available, but will likely be similar to the current marks.
Legacy
Marks from the previous forging system will eventually be converted to the new one at an undisclosed time.
