Carpenter Boost - Remove the newbie Boats

[Johnny Walac]

I would lower the resources needed for crafting the boats thus lowering the cost of them. More people would buy them.

Carpenters need a boost indeed though. I would add more stuff.

This.

No. This will not solve the carpenter issue. There are quite a few other (better) options.

Also, I never found such a huge issue with making boats with my carpenter... not sure what you're all doing wrong.

As far as i understood correctly from Jonathan there was a huge bug about 2 years ago in the boat making, there was inscription check instead of carpentery skill check and so on... thus the fail rate was the same no matter which carpenter or with what skill you made the boat with. After it was fixed i think it got harder to make the boats.

I bet Ares or Jonathan can confirm this. Anyhow i'd recommend asking from carpenters themselves if there should be some fixing done to the material requirements, since its loads of work for low price i dont see the point in it, not to even consider that they wont sell at all times even. So if possible prices stay the same but the work load is reduced?

My opinion is that after this no further boat changes and start generating new ideas for carpenters. There will be eventualy something that can be added and will be sold even.

maybe instead of a "fail" it could be more like

"You made a measurement error, you scavenge enough left-over material to make a lesser boat" and it could randomly pick a boat that is lesser than the chosen one

at least it wouldnt be such a waste?

[Bestia Domare]

it would also be awesome if they could make boats from different wood and come out with a different colored boat.

id pay extra for that

We could certainly lower the amount of resources that are lost when you fail. Right now I think it could be something like 33%.

If anyone recalls, when I was a carpenter I did a big rage post with all these calculations about how much time it took to make boats, and it actually worked that out it wasn't such bad business re: time vs. gold.

Just get rid of carpenters, give tinkers and bowcrafters 100% carpentry instead of 85%. Make the carpentry skill work with armslore/item id. You lose tremendous amounts of resources trying to craft boats...its the most annoying part of it all..

Yeah, to be honest Carpenter seems to be the class that whenever we are supposed to boost it, it creates annoyance for everyone else.

pretty much i agree to this, but then tinkers lumberjacking should be boosted also

[Glarundis]

i would leave it at 85 lumberjacking, since obviously bowyers understand more about wood than tinkers, since they with other materials. so for carpentry stuff with those high end woods you'd have to buy the logs or the customer would simply have to go to a bowyer
