Dialogue[]
- Trainer Arthur Merrin: "Greetings, brave hero of the Overlord! it is my responsibility to explain how crafting and tradeskills can bring prosperity to the kingdom of Freeport. I hope I can encourage your participation in helping our city flourish. We can beat those hapless Qeynosians through our superior commerce!"
- Player Character: "How does one take up crafting?"
- Trainer Arthur Merrin: "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 Arthur Merrin: "Crafting takes place in workshops, just like the one we have here on the island. Inside this doorway 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 entrances to workshops scattered throughout your home village."
- Player Character: "Can I make a variety of items?"
- Trainer Arthur Merrin: "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 Arthur Merrin: "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 Arthur Merrin: "Basic recipes can be bought for a small fee from a merchant near the workshops in Freeport. Rare recipes can be obtained by adventuring in the wilds of Norrath. You may want to trade goods or services with other adventurers and 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 Arthur Merrin: "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 may build a fortune that others in Freeport can only envy!"
- Player Character: "Thank you for the advice."
