Dialogue[]
When talking to Trainer Gregory Collins:
- Trainer Gregory Collins: "Hello my friend! I have the pleasure of serving Qeynos by explaining the role of crafting and tradeskills to newly arrived heroes such as you. By taking on the role of artisan, you can help expand the influence of our fair city in worldwide commerce."
- Player Character: "How does one take up crafting?"
- Trainer Gregory Collins: "Crafting, or tradeskilling as some call it, involves taking ingredients harvested or obtained in the world, mixing them with the proper fuel, and carefully following a specific recipe to create something new and useful for yourself or your fellow citizens. Just as you can gain levels by adventuring, you have a separate Artisan level that increases as you earn experience crafting."
- Player Character: "Where does one perform crafting?"
- Trainer Gregory Collins: "Crafting takes place in workshops, just like the one we have here on the island. Inside the workshops you will find the fuel and devices you'll need to build, cook, scribe, sew and create all manner of useful goods. When you arrive in our grand city, you will find the entrance to a similar workshop in your home village."
- Player Character: "Can I make a variety of items?"
- Trainer Gregory Collins: "As you practice your craft you will learn to make a variety of products, but as you advance in your profession you will specialize in certain types of goods. As you acquire new recipe books, you will learn new types of items you can make."
- Player Character: "What could I specialize in?"
- Trainer Gregory Collins: "You might choose to become a Provisioner that makes food and drink, a Woodworker that crafts totems and staves, an Armorer that forges plate and chain armor, a Sage that scribes potent spells for mages and priests, or one of many other noble professions."
- Player Character: "Where do I learn recipes?"
- Trainer Gregory Collins: "Basic recipes can be bought for a small fee from a merchant near the workshops in the cities. Rare recipes can be obtained by adventuring in the wilds of Norrath. You may want to trade goods or services with other adventurers or artisans to obtain such valuable recipes. You can view your recipe book by pressing the N key."
- Player Character: "What can I do with the items I make?"
- Trainer Gregory Collins: "You can either use the items yourself or make a tidy profit by selling them to others. A skilled artisan is always in demand for the goods they provide, so learn your craft well and you will always have a place in Qeynos society."
- Player Character: "Do you have any further advice?"
- Trainer Gregory Collins: "Here is a handbook that will provide you with some basic reference material to start with. Once you reach Qeynos, you will find a tradeskill tutor within your local crafting workshop who can teach you more about crafting in further detail."
- Player Character: "Thank you for the guidance."
