*You may be able to trade with a trader for a pelt, if someone else has sold one. Spindles and pottery jars can be useful to barter, and traders are generally found in starter towns.

==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 [[Repairing|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 succeed.

*Look at the improvement column in your inventory to quickly see what you need to do next
*Always use tools or items raw materials 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 quality tools and/or higher skill.
*Your skill (and equipment) affects the maximum quality you can reach - don't try to push it too far!
**While you are able to improve things higher than the quality of your tools and your skill level, pushing it more than 5-10 beyond them can take quite some time.
*Improving takes time, make sure you have enough food & water for how long you intend to improve.
*Improving metal items (tools, weapons, shields etc) require the item you intend to improve to be glowing hot - Keep the item in the forge while improving.
==How to improve==
Usually when improving something, your skill will raise faster than with item creation.

==Hints and Tips==
*It is a good idea to concentrate on certain items for certain skills such as a [[Statue]] for [[Masonry]] or a [[Wooden fence]] for Carpentry
*[[Wooden fences]] and walls can be improved with planks.
*You must use a higher ql item to improve an item. You can not improve a 20ql mallet with a 1ql [[log]].
*Only raw materials must have a greater ql than the item your are repairing, tools do not need to be higher ql.
*Ask fellow players for a spare pelt when starting out. Be nice!
