Liveing by handcrafting
It is known to all players that handcrafting is a profession that walks astride the living world and the manufactured one, taking raw materials such as wood and gemstones, then carving and cutting them into items that are deadly, decorative or both. Simple handicrafts such as carved Crystal Gems, Betua Bows, and Tecoma Staves are within the abilities of nearly every handcrafter.
Utsida (in Sanctum) or Lanse (in Pandaemonium) offer basic proficiency in Handcrafting to anyone who can afford 3,500 aion gold for the skill. The price varies slightly depending on the current influence ratio. When you first become a Handicrafter, you start with 1 Expertise Point out of 99 possible. You will also have a Handcrafting experience bar in the Crafting tab of your Skills window. Each time that bar fills up, you gain another Expertise Point until you have hit your current maximum. The higher your Expertise Points, the better recipes you can attempt--and ultimately, the more powerful your creations.
The Handcrafting Master immediately teaches you one recipe: Silver Ingot and offers you the Wooden Staff Completion work order. You gain additional recipes through questing, looting fallen enemies and from merchants such as Chiwurinerk (Sanctum) and Obirunerk. As you gain Expertise Points, Utsida and Lanse will offer more difficult--and more rewarding--work orders.
