Stonecrafting/Masonry

Stonecrafting is a skill that can only be learned by Grandmaster Carpenters

This skill does not cost any skill points, and has no effect on the skill cap

To learn how to craft stone a GM Carpenter must read the book "Making Valuables With Stonecrafting"

The book "Making Valuables With Stonecrafting" can be bought from Gargoyle Stone Crafters in Ver Lor Reg, the Gargoyle city in Ilshenar.

The book costs about 10,000 gold

The book will be destroyed after it has been read by a GM Carpenter

To create stone items, you need to use a tool called 'mallet and chisels'

Mallet and chisels can be bought from Gargoyle Shopkeepers for a few gold pieces

Mallet and chisels do wear out, just like pickaxes and shovels

You can select to make stone items in various shades, if you are carrying the right shades of granite on you

To create different colored stone items, make sure you select the color you want from the Stonecrafting menu

To craft an item from colored granite, you will notice an arrow and selection on the bottom left of your menu. The button should say NORMAL by default. Hit that arrow to select a different style granite, such as Valorite, Verite, etc.

Stone tables are created as a deed

Colored stone table deeds show the color of the granite used

Granite is mined my miners

Only weapons and armor made with Stonecrafting may carry a maker's mark

Weapons and armor crafted in colored granite will have the same bonus properties as armor pieces crafted by a blacksmith from the equivalent metal (eg items made from gold ingots have 40 luck as a property, items made from gold granite will also have 40 luck)

Plain stone armor, or monster loot stone armor, can be enhanced with colored stone. Bonuses will be the same as those given by the equivalent metal.
