SimpleCrafting
Simple Crafting involves the creation of simple items like tools or components. Sometimes, the creation of these items will require the player to be attached to a device as well. Various skills are used during the crafting process and the player's proficiency level in the skill will determine the quality of the final product. Crafting simple items usually doesn't have a time duration like larger construction projects will.
Usually, therefore, to craft an item you need to do the following:
- Attach to a Device, e.g. anvil, furnace, workbench etc.
- Equip one or more tools, e.g. knife, mouldframe etc.
- Have in you inventory the necessary components and/or raw materials
Then click on one of the components or raw materials and select the required craft option that appears.
- It should be noted that sometimes it is necessary to click more than once. This is because the order in which the craft options appear will change so occasionally the required oprion may not even appear on the first attempt. Apparently this is intentional to thwart the use of macros.
Crafting most things doesn't have a time duration, however, if something needs to be heated in a forge, furnace, oven, kiln etc. then a message will be displayed indicating the time that it will take. The time will be given in minutae (Latin for minutes) and an indicator progress bar will be displayed. If you craft another item before that bar is finished it will just be overwritten so you would normally want to take a note of when you first started. Time in RV progresses at 3 times the rate as in real life, so if for instance a time of 30 minutae is shown this will in fact take approximately 10 real munutes.
