General

Improving is the ability to increase an item's quality on success. However on failure you will damage the item and you must then repair it to continue improving. The quality increases by small amounts with each success or decreases when you repair after damaging the item. As the item's quality reaches the maximum you are able to produce (based on skill and equipment) you will begin to fail more often than succede.

Basic Tools

This is a list of all the tools used for repairing. Note that each skill area requires their own tools so, for example, lumps are used in smithing and chisels are used in masonry.

* Are items that may take time to acquire!

Hints and tips

  • Look at the improvement coloumn in your inventory to quickly see what you need to do next
  • Always use tools or items that are a higher quality than the item you want to improve.
  • If you start to fail a lot, and are losing quality, it is usually a good idea to stop and maybe try later with better tools and/or higher skill.
  • Your skill (and equipment) affects the maximum quality you can reach - don't try to push it too far!
  • Improving takes time, make sure you have enough food & water for how long you intend to improve.

How to improve

  1. Examine the item you want to improve and it to see what is needed (EG:/ log, chisel etc...)
