'''Carpentry''' is the craft of turning boards and logs into furniture, crates, chests, instruments, staves and shields. Every chair in a player's house, every keg an alchemist fills and every forge, loom and stone oven a crafter sets up at home starts on a carpenter's workbench. Carpenters work hand in hand with [[Skills/Lumberjacking|lumberjacks]], who supply the wood.

This page explains how carpentry works in New Bradford, from your first barrel stave to a Grandmaster's pentagram. For cutting the wood yourself, see [[Skills/Lumberjacking|Lumberjacking]]. For bows, crossbows and arrows, see [[Skills/Bowcraft/Fletching|Bowcraft/Fletching]].

== Tools ==
Every carpentry tool opens the same carpentry menu, so it doesn't matter which one you use. Carpenters and tinkers sell them all.

The tool must be '''on your person''', in your backpack: ''"The tool must be on your person to use."''

'''Every attempt uses one charge''', whether it succeeds or fails. When the last one is gone the tool breaks: ''"You have worn out your tool!"'' Carry a spare.

== How to build ==
# Put boards or logs (and any cloth or ingots the item needs) in your backpack.
# Double-click a carpentry tool. The carpentry menu opens.
# Pick a category (''Other'', ''Furniture'', ''Containers'', ''Weapons and Armor'', ''Instruments'', ''Misc. Add-Ons'', ''Blacksmithing'', ''Training'', ''Tailoring and Cooking'' or ''Cooking''), then the item.
# On success the item goes in your backpack: ''"You create the item."''

The menu also has a '''Make Last''' button to repeat your last item, a '''Last Ten''' list, and the maker's mark setting. There's no repair button: carpenters '''can't repair''' staves or wooden shields in New Bradford.

'''Boards and logs both count''' as wood, one for one. If you run short: ''"You do not have sufficient wood to make that."''

=== Success chance ===
Every item has a '''minimum Carpentry''' (listed in the tables below). Below it, you can't make the item at all.

At the minimum your chance is already '''50%''', and it rises by '''2% for every skill point''' above it. At '''25 points above the minimum''' you never fail. For example, a wooden chest needs 73.6, so you have a 75% chance at 86.3 and you never fail from 98.6 on.

'''A failed attempt costs the materials''': ''"You failed to create the item, and some of your materials are lost."'' Practice on cheap items.

=== Items that need a second skill ===
Some items also need another skill. If that skill is below the listed amount you can't make the item at all, even with enough Carpentry. Each attempt also gives the second skill a chance to rise, so building them trains both.

{| class="wikitable"
! Second skill !! Needed for
|-
| [[Skills/Musicianship|Musicianship]] 45 || All [[#Instruments|instruments]]
|-
| [[Skills/Tailoring|Tailoring]] 40 to 75 || Fishing pole (40), training dummy and pickpocket dip (50), dressform, spinning wheel and loom (65), beds (75)
|-
| [[Skills/Tinkering|Tinkering]] 50 || Stone oven and flour mill
|-
| [[Skills/Blacksmithy|Blacksmithy]] 75 to 80 || Small forge and anvil (75), large forge (80)
|-
| [[Skills/Magery|Magery]] 50 to 75 || Abbatoir (50), pentagram (75)
|}

=== Exceptional quality ===
Only '''staves, wooden shields and instruments''' can come out exceptional: ''"You create an exceptional quality item."'' Furniture, containers and everything else always come out as ordinary items.

Your exceptional chance is your success chance '''minus 60%''' (before it's capped at 100%). So you start seeing exceptional pieces once you're '''5 points above''' an item's minimum, the chance rises by 2% per point from there, and at '''55 points above''' the minimum every one is exceptional. For example, a quarter staff needs 73.6, so at 100.0 you succeed every time and 43% of them are exceptional. The tables below show each item's exceptional chance at 100.0.

What exceptional means:
* '''Staves''': 20% more damage and 20% more durability.
* '''Wooden shields''': +8 armor rating and 20% more durability.
* '''Instruments''': 100 more uses, and they're a little easier to use when you play them against a target.

=== Maker's mark ===
Your work can carry your name. Use the ''MARK ITEM'' button in the menu to switch between '''Mark Item''', '''Do Not Mark''' and '''Prompt For Mark'''. Marked items show ''crafted by'' and your name: ''"You create an exceptional quality item and affix your maker's mark."''

==== Locks ====
Wooden boxes, crates and wooden chests can come out '''lockable''', with a matching copper key inside. Whether they do depends on your [[Skills/Tinkering|Tinkering]], not your Carpentry:
* With no Tinkering, the chance is '''25%'''. It rises by 5% per point and is '''certain at 15.0 Tinkering'''.
* ''"Your tinker skill was sufficient to make the item lockable."'' means you got a lock and key. ''"Your tinker skill was insufficient to make the item lockable."'' means it has no lock.
* The more Tinkering you have, the '''harder the lock is to pick'''.
* Each attempt also gives your Tinkering a small chance to rise, until 15.0.

Wooden shelves and armoires never have locks.

==== Kegs ====
An empty keg is put together from 3 barrel staves, 1 set of barrel hoops and 1 barrel lid. Tinkers turn it into a '''potion keg''' that holds 100 potions. See [[Skills/Alchemy#Potion kegs|Alchemy]].

Instruments are what bards play with [[Skills/Musicianship|Musicianship]], [[Skills/Peacemaking|Peacemaking]], [[Skills/Provocation|Provocation]] and [[Skills/Discordance|Discordance]]. Each one has a limited number of uses. When they run out the instrument breaks.

== House add-ons ==
The beds, dartboards, ballot box, pentagram, abbatoir, forges, anvils, training dummies, pickpocket dips, spinning wheels, looms, stone ovens, flour mills and water troughs come out as '''deeds'''. Most come in two versions, facing '''east''' or '''south'''.

The dressform isn't a deed: it comes out as an ordinary item you can carry around and set down anywhere.

=== Placing an add-on ===
# Put the deed in your backpack (''"That must be in your pack for you to use it."'').
# Double-click it and pick a spot inside '''a house you own'''. Elsewhere you'll see ''"You can only place this in a house that you own!"''
# The add-on appears and the deed is used up.

You can't place an add-on in front of a door (''"You cannot build near the door."'') or where it doesn't fit (''"You cannot build that there."'').

'''To take it back up''', double-click an axe and target the add-on: ''"You destroy the item."'' The deed goes back in your backpack. Only the house owner can do this.

=== What they do ===
* '''Forges and anvils''' let you smith at home. See [[Skills/Blacksmithy|Blacksmithy]].
* '''Spinning wheels and looms''' turn wool and cotton into cloth. See [[Skills/Tailoring#Making your own cloth|Tailoring]].
* '''Stone ovens and flour mills''' are where you bake and grind flour. See [[Skills/Cooking|Cooking]].
* '''Water troughs''' are a water source: double-click an empty pitcher (or other drink container), then target the trough to fill it with water.
* '''Training dummies''' let you practice a melee weapon skill up to '''25.0''' (or [[Skills/Wrestling|Wrestling]] with bare hands). Equip the weapon, stand within its reach and double-click the dummy. Each hit is a chance to gain. Ranged weapons don't work (''"You can't practice ranged weapons on this."''), you have to be on foot, and you have to wait for the dummy to stop swinging before hitting it again.
* '''Pickpocket dips''' let you practice [[Skills/Stealing|Stealing]] up to '''25.0'''. Stand next to the dip, on foot, and double-click it.
* '''Ballot boxes''' hold a yes-or-no vote. The house owner writes the question (up to 6 lines) and can reset the count. Each player gets one vote: ''"Your vote has been registered."''
* '''Dartboards''' are just for fun. Hold a knife or dagger, stand up to 4 tiles away facing the board and double-click it to throw. No skill involved: ''"BULLSEYE! 50 Points!"''
* '''Beds, pentagrams and abbatoirs''' are decoration.

== Training Carpentry ==
* '''Every attempt''' can raise your Carpentry, '''whether it succeeds or fails''', but only while the item is a challenge. Once you reach an item's ''Always succeeds at'' skill it's too easy to teach you anything.
* '''Below 10.0''' you gain on every attempt. Above that, each attempt has a chance to gain 0.1.
* The '''harder the item''' is for you, the better your chance to gain, especially when you succeed. Your chance also drops as you get closer to your Carpentry cap and to your total skill cap.
* Carpentry tops out at '''100.0 (Grandmaster)'''. There are no power scrolls for Carpentry.
* Reaching 100.0 adds Carpentry to the '''Skills Mastered''' count on your achievements.
* Town carpenters, stonecrafters and shipwrights will also teach you the basics for a fee.

'''Strength and Dexterity:''' each successful item has about a 6% chance to raise your Strength by 1 and about a 1.5% chance to raise your Dexterity by 1, at most once every 10 minutes each (as long as the stat is set to rise).

! Carpentry !! Build !! Wood each !! Notes
|-
| 0 to 10 || Barrel staves || 5 || Keep them for kegs.
|-
| 10 to 21 || Small crates || 8 || Sell for 5 gold.
|-

|-
| 60 to 74 || Large tables || 23 || Sell for 10 gold. With 45 Musicianship and some cloth, lutes (68.4) work too.
|-
| 74 to 90 || Magincia-style thrones || 19 || Sell for 24 gold, the best return in carpentry. Wooden chests (20 wood, 15 gold) are the same difficulty.
|-
| 90 to 100 || Yew-wood tables or armoires || 27 / 35 || Yew-wood tables are cheaper and sell for 10 gold.
|}

Chairs, stools, crates, chests and tables sell back to carpenters, so a lot of your practice pays for some of its wood.

== Messages you'll see ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Message !! What it means
|-
| ''You create the item.'' || Success.
|-
| ''You create an exceptional quality item.'' || Success, and the staff, shield or instrument is exceptional.
|-
| ''You failed to create the item, and some of your materials are lost.'' || The attempt failed and the wood is gone.
|-
| ''You do not have sufficient wood to make that.'' || Get more boards or logs.
|-
| ''You do not have sufficient cloth to make that.'' || The item needs cloth.
|-
| ''You don't have the required skills to attempt this item.'' || Your Carpentry, or the second skill the item needs, is too low.
|-
| ''The tool must be on your person to use.'' || Put the tool in your backpack.
|-
| ''You have worn out your tool!'' || Your tool broke. Grab a spare.
|-
| ''Your tinker skill was sufficient to make the item lockable.'' || The box, crate or chest has a lock and a key inside.
|-
| ''Your tinker skill was insufficient to make the item lockable.'' || No lock this time.
|-
| ''You can only place this in a house that you own!'' || Add-on deeds only work in your own house.
|-
| ''You cannot build near the door.'' || Move the add-on away from the door.
|}

== Tips ==
* '''Cut your logs into boards''' before a long trip home. Boards weigh half as much and build exactly the same things.
* '''Learn a little Tinkering.''' 15.0 Tinkering means every box, crate and chest you build comes with a lock and key.
* '''Raise Tailoring alongside''' if you want to build looms, spinning wheels, training dummies or beds. Every attempt trains it a little too.
* '''Sell your practice pieces.''' Magincia-style thrones fetch 24 gold and wooden chests 15 from carpenters.
* '''Keep your add-on deeds safe.''' A deed in your backpack is the add-on, and you can always chop a placed one back into its deed.
