I'm not looking for mule characters. I meant:

The best way to make craftsman, considering you will have a third or a fourth character for hunting elementals and ant lions and/or craft other classes things (i.e. alchemy). A craftsman, whom name shall be on every mouths. A pure rought material worker.

With

Smithing
Tailoring
Carpentry
Tinkering
Magery
Musicianship
Bowyercraft


You could make everything a warrior, mage, bard or archer would need. Provided you had other chars for mining and other resource gathering. Plus you could make pentagrams too. Inscription, Alchemy and Posioning have bonuses to combat, so it's best to make characters with these skills that are not craftsman.

I know what you meant. TSM1 and CTB are essentially what you're considering. TSM1 is the legendary tailor/smith and the CTB is essentially a wood worker proficient in all wood-related things. Both are good for a primary account with respectable names to be known by all. Perhaps I shouldn't call them mules, but it amounts to the same. They're my crafters. How you choose to interact with other folk while playing them will determine how (in)famous they become.

Wonderful.

As I haven't seen any of you talk about Arms Lore, I figure it doesn't give any bonus to armors quality or to your ability to repair armors.

Dunno about the others, but I didn't say anything about it because I'm not certain.

I know that it gives the same information whether you have 100.0 or 0.1 skill, it just takes longer to succeed in evaluating the item if you don't have much skill.

Not that stratics applies here in all cases but I see nothing there linking arms lore to repair success rates, fwiw.

I vote for way 2, i.e. build the characters' skills based on related resources. I opine you will require much more item transfer between your characters for building with way 1.

Re: Your thoughts on these way to start craftsman

Resource transfer really isn't that hard, so basing your template on whether or not you have to transfer resources is kinda silly, imo.. you get a house, and leave the resources there. Friend your alternate account characters and you're good to go.

Agree .. but I still would like try to minimize that to save time :)

I would build the chars as follow for myself:

Char1
Smith
Mining
Tinker
Carpentry
Tailor
Magery (around 7x) - some item by Carpentry required magery
Music (around 4x) - same as magery


Char2
Lumberjack
Bowcraft
Magery (around 3x) - For recall ..
<what ever you want .. Alch, Inscribe, Cooking, Fishing .. etc>

Re: Your thoughts on these way to start craftsman

1st Character: The Ressource Harvester
1. Mining
2. BS
3. Resist
4. magery 80 / med 20
5. Macefight
6. Tactics
7. Hiding
