Item Crafting Rules

Item Crafting

Seisei item crafting comes in two forms, artisan and manufacturing. Artisan item crafting has a maximum of one person working on an item at a time, with one helper, and typically takes a bit longer than manufacturing. Manufacturing crafting is not available at this time.

Materials

Crafting always requires materials, regardless of source. There are two basic types of materials needed:

Magical
Magical materials carry with them a rarity, ie common, rare, legendary, etc

Generic
Generic materials have a GP value, ie "50 GP materials"

You can buy generic materials from the inbetween or seisei markets. generic materials' value is directly equal to the amount of money spent on buying it. Say you spend 13 GP on generic materials, you get any number of generic materials collectively worth 13 GP. Once you buy them you cannot sell them back to the NPC markets.

(If a Item has Specified Recipe of Materials needed Follow That Recipe instead. All other rules are same unless stated otherwise)

Artisan Crafting

Artisan crafting has 3 steps, the creation of the item, the magicing of the item, and the sealing of the item. Each step takes a certain amount of time and materials but you are free to stop crafting an item after any given step. A single material can work for multiple steps, provided it fulfills the requirements of each step.

Crafting the item requires 50% of an item's vaule in generic materials. You roll a tool check to do so, using tools relevant to the item you are crafting. If you fail the check you waste 10% of the materials used. If you pass you may choose to stop crafting, if you do so you simply have a nonmagical version of the item you are crafting. (IE: Glamoured armor is studded leather, a frostbrand is a longsword, so on. If something does not have a nonmagical counterpart consult a dm/this takes a day.

Magicing the item takes a appropriate rarity material of an equal rarity to the item you are trying to make. (If the rarity material has a GP value counts towards amount generic materials need) You roll a skill check, DC (15 common, 20 uncommon, 25 rare, 32 very rare, 40 legendary, 48 artifact). If you fail roll on mishap table. If you pass you may choose to stop crafting, if you do so the item has the effects of the item you are trying to craft but after an amount of days equal to [your roll/5] the magicing wears off, destroying the rarity material and you must restart this step. This step takes a day. (Any artifacts made this way and subsequently unmagiced can be remade without issue.)

Sealing the item doesn't require materials. You roll an ability check (say athletics to prove yourself to the gods enough to bless an item, or arcana to recite an ancient incantation, get creative!), the DC is dependant on the rarity of the item (18 common, 20 uncommon, 24 rare, 28 very rare, 32 legendary, 36 artifact). If you fail, restart this step. While you are doing this step the time does not tick down for a magiced item. If you pass you have completed the item. This step takes (1 day common, 3 days uncommon, 7 days rare, 11 days very rare, 17 days legendary, 23 days artifact)

Artisan Time reduction

You can reduce the time needed to craft an item by half if you are helped by someone who is both a higher or equal level or cr than you, and has proficiency in all the rolls needed for crafting the item. Alternatively you can use twice as many generic materials to half your time. You cannot do both. There is a minimum time of 1 day for all steps' time combined.
