Carving

English	français

Carving is a multi-level skill taught at the School of Body.

This system is actively under development and refinement. As such, some options or functions may not currently be in working order.

T8 Carving and Knife System Change

In July 2018, an entirely new carving and knife system was introduced, replacing the previous system. Knives have new names and capabilities and some knives can be sharpened.

Old, pre-system-change Knives are still usable. Un-assembled Iron Knife Blades currently can not be made into anything - a fix for this is still being worked out.

Old Flint Knives (previously First Degree) have changed names to the new First Degree "Stone Knives". Other old knives have had "Old" added to the name. IE: "Old Glass Knife".

Wielding

Knives must now be equipped (or "wielded") for use.

:Self->Equipment 

Equipping a knife will remove it from your inventory and place it in your hand (silly graphic included), freeing up inventory space.

The menu option to unequip the knife returns the tool to your inventory.

Knife Types

• Stone Knife (First Degree) - Made from a Stone Blade
• Flint Knife (Second Degree) - Made from a Flint Blade
• Bone Knife (Third Degree) - Made from a Bone Blade
• Utility Knife (Fourth Degree) - Made from a Sharp Blade
• Paring Knife (Fifth Degree) - Made from a Jagged Edge Blade
• Butcher Knife (Sixth Degree) - Made from a Twice-Folded Blade

Durability and Sharpening

As in the old system, knives have a limited number of uses before they wear out and become unusable. The Stone Knife, Flint Knife and Bone Knife will simply break and disappear from the player's inventory when they wear out.

However, the Utility Knife, Paring Knife and Butcher Knife will become dull, and can be sharpened to become usable again. Sharpening is currently free, but will eventually have a cost associated with it. It is unknown whether sharpening restores the knife to its previous, full, durability or whether the knife will become unusable with time.

To sharpen a dull knife, navigate to the following menu (not visible unless you have a knife in your inventory, not wielded, which is possible to sharpen):

:Self->Skills->Carving->Sharpening

Toolbelts

A toolbelt to allow you to carry various tools, though not yet implemented, will eventually be craftable. The option to wield one is there, under

:Self->Equipment->Equip Waist

Carving Skill

Higher levels of Carving will decrease the focus timer incurred when performing carving tasks.

Degrees of the Carving skill are now available at different player levels than before. The new levels required to learn each degree of the skill and the tuition costs are as follows:

Degree	Level	Cost
First	3	?
Second	7	? ?
Third	12	? ?
Fourth	18	10 Barrel Tap 10 Wooden Pestle
Fifth	25	10 Bottle Stopper 10 Cotter Pin
Sixth	33	10 Empty Tackle Blocks 10 Wooden Cogs
