Skills and Items

Relief Carving

Skill/Relief Carving (Skill)
- Lvl 0 - Low Relief. Tuition: 25 Shabti Dolls.
  - Tied in with Carving, requires level 5 to produce Low Relief Carving from 4 wood using at least a Utility Knife(click Relief Carving in Skills menu)

  - Carved out of an Anhydrite Block using a Chisel at a ratio of 1:1

Creating Shabti Dolls

First craft a Shabti Mould
- Same process as Nail Mould, made on a Mason's Bench from 1 Medium Stone, loaded into a Kiln. The moulds remain after firing, but can be removed. The Shabti Mould produces and cooks one Faience at a time, but takes up the space of one item when cooking other items, like Jugs.

Then craft Faience
- 1 Faience requires 1 Clay and 1 Small Quartz and is fired normally in a kiln that has been upgraded with a Shabti Mould.

Finally, craft the Shabti Doll
- 1 Shabti Doll is created on any type of Glazier's Bench, takes 90 seconds, and uses 1 Faience (consumed) and 1 db of molten Glass.

Stone Blocks and Carving the Reliefs

The High and Low Relief Scupltures needed to build Hor-Em-Akhet are carved from Silicified Sandstone and Anhydrite blocks respectively. These are found and excavated in the same way as Limestone Blocks.
Note: Carving a Relief on a stone block shows % progress, and triggers DEX and FOC timers (Dex being longer duration - 1m 30s at 4 dex). The amount of progress made each click appears to vary from <1% to >30%.

Silicified Sandstone
- Appears to be roughly the lower 1/3 of the map - not dependent on region borders
- Carving uses DEX & FOC and at least a Copper Chisel
- 1x Silicified Sandstone Block = 1 High Relief Carving

Anhydrite
- Only found in the Red Sea region of Egypt (This needs clarification, whether it's the Red Sea Region, any region bordering the actual sea, or if it's the upper 1/3 of the whole map.)
- Carving uses DEX & FOC and at least a Bronze Chisel
- 1x Anhydrite Block = 1 Sunken Relief Carving
