 ===== Recipe =====
-**This Page is for the mechanics of crafting Potions and other magic items cause Xanatha in all his beholder wisdom is a bit too vauge**
+[[item:start|Return to Items]]
+So your character wants to craft something cool? a helpful magic item, a fancy weapon or armour upgrade? some potions in preparation for a big journey? \\
+There are many written rules for all these but bits and pieces are spread out through multiple books along with many 3rd party options that are really cool but can lack context.
+This page is dedicated to written rules for crafting in Felwind games, These rules and mechanics may or may not be used depending on the DM and the game they wish to run. But having a base line set of mechanics is important for players and Game masters to referance.

+===== Smithing Weapons, Armour & Equipment =====
+When it comes to non-magical crafting the first thing to come to mind may be smithing. Smithing weapons and armour is common in Felwind and there are may different types and levels of expertise that go into what can and can't be crafted.
+^  Crafting Level  ^^
+^ Profession ^ Details ^
+| Novice | Has yet to even earn proficiency in their trade. Can only make the simplest of trinkets and items that hold little mechanical value. Examples are making a wooden ball or whittling an animal from wood. getting a shapped lump of metal or making a makeshift knife. |
+| Apprentice | Proficiency in their trade. Able to make basic mundane equipment with access to tools and a proper working area, such as simple & martial weapons as well as light & medium armour |
+| Skilled | Expertise or has been working in their trade a while. Able to work in a shop with their skilled trade and craft more advanced items such as heavy armour |
+| Expert | has now learned enough they are able to teach others. open up their own store. They are also able to enhance and enchant te equipment they make with basic echantments (+1) |
+| Master | has reached the peak of their craft. Now has access to master-work options for the equipment they make |
+=== Learning the Trade ===
+Learning skills doesn't happen over night. While some Features, Classes and some other player options will offten grant skills to the player. these skills are often the basics. The advance them further or learn a new skill without taking a player option there are a few steps players can take.
+**Finding a Teacher** \\
+You can't learn without a reference. Someone to mentor. Teachers for your trade can be as common or as rare as can be all depending on location, the trade in question and how lucky you are. \\
+A Teacher doesn't have to be in a school, perhaps an elderly hermit wit the secrets of grand smithing, or the player has found an Ancient library dedicated to the craft your looking to learn.
+**Time & Money** \\
+Teachers often do not work for free, Sometimes they want payment upfront, in cash. Some may want a hard quest completed for them before they are willing. and some may need some actual convincing cause they just don't like you. \\
+And of course learning dosnet happen over night. Learning or advancing a new skill typically takes a minimum of 8 weeks in-game time. but it could take longer depending on the situation. but a basic break down can look something like this.
+  *Novice to Apprentice: Player needs to gain proficency with te tools or skill in question.
+  *Apprentice to Skilled: Player needs to gain expertise or 'Proficiency' a 2nd time in the same skill.
+  *Skilled to Expert: Player needs to be taught by another expert in the trade
+  *Expert to Master: player needs to be taught by another master in the trade
+==== Non-Metal Working, Leather, Wood, Scale etc ====
+Crafting Leather armour, wooden bow or other items not requiring a hot forge and a hard anvil fall into Non-Metal working. The options for equipment are fewer but exclusive.
+=== Getting Started: What a Player Needs ===
+**A Set of Tools** \\
+**Proficiency with the work** \\
+Having the tools available is not enough, a Player also needs to know how to use them. This is determined by proficiency. The player needs proficiency with the tools required for the crafting they plan to undertake.
+==== Metal Working ====
+=== Getting Started: What a Player Needs ===
+==== Master-Work: Mechanics & Options ====
+===== Crafting Magic Items & Enchanting Equipment =====
+===== Brewing Potions & Poisons =====
 Creating Magic Items or Brewing magic potions has to come from somewhere, there are a variety of vauge rules in the DMG and Xanatha's guide but i needed something more detailed for my players and to make some alterations to the rules.
