It was our long distant ancestors that first discovered how to transform the bones of a fresh kill into a heavy club with which to make more fresh kills. Today of course, we have the wonders of civilisation, and with that comes a litany of more advanced tools, weapons, armour, and equipment to be made from what we kill. Indeed, the resourcefulness of society means that just about every creature’s carcass can serve as more than just a trophy if
you take it to someone with the right know-how.

While some creature parts are useful fresh from the carcass, many require some alterations before their full potential can be realised. In order to craft a harvested item into a usable item, it must be worked on by a skilled crafter.
You don’t ask a blacksmith to cut the timbers of your house, and you don’t ask an alchemist to craft you a suit of armour. If you want an item crafted, you need the right person for
the job. Each craftable item comes with a tag in brackets explaining which type of crafter is capable of making that item.
Materials, Time, and Cost
Craftable items from harvested materials requires at least one harvestable material from a monster’s harvesting table to act as a base component of the item. This base component
provides the driving magical force that allows the item to function. The harvesting material and quantity of the materials required are listed in the description of the craftable item. For some craftable items, there are several potential harvestable materials that may act as the base component. In these cases, any of the listed materials may be used.
Craftable items require more than just the base component provided by harvested materials, however. Crafting an item requires a cost covering other requirements such as tools, facilities, and extra materials. Note that this cost does NOT include the cost of actually
hiring a crafter, and that such a cost is considered separate. Assuming that the players are providing the base component for a craftable material, the value of this base component can be deducted from the end cost of crafting the item.
Finally, craftable items take a certain amount of time before they can be completed. The breakdown of the time and cost investment to craft an item is listed in the table below.
