|

Here the system and usage of the B<new> jeweler skill is described. It's not yet completly |
| 8 |
finished, some details have to be implemented and the balancing isn't yet adjusted (improvements |
| 9 |
are just a little bit over expensive). But if the basic functionality is user ready (which maybe still |
| 10 |
takes a week), it will be online! |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
=head2 Where to get it? How to!? What?? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
You can learn the jeweler skill by finding a I<scroll of jewelers>. If you |
| 15 |
want to make rings and amulets you also have to find a I<jewelers workbench>. The best |
| 16 |
place to find that is in a I<Jewelers Workshop> which can be found in towns (for example in Scorn). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
=head2 Identifying jewelery |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The most basic function of the jeweler skill is identifying rings and amulets, the higher |
| 21 |
your jeweler level is the more and the better you can identify jewelery. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
You identify jewelery by standing above it or having it in your inventory and entering: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
use_skill jeweler |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
You will see the information about the identified jewelery and will gain exp for the identified objects. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
=head2 Generating blank rings and amulets |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
For this you need to find a I<jewelers workbench>. You can generate blank rings |
| 32 |
and amulets of adornment from B<large gold nuggets>. |
| 33 |
But you need at least B<10 large gold nuggets> for a ring or an amulet! |
| 34 |
You can place multiples of 10 nuggets in the bench and such make multiple rings or amulets of adornment at once. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
So place 10 large gold nuggets in the bench and then enter: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
use_skill jeweler make ring |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Or if you want to make a blank amulet of adornment: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
use_skill jeweler make amulet |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
=head2 Analyzing jewelery |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
If you want to know what your chances are to make a specific rings or amulets place them |
| 47 |
in the workbench and enter: |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
use_skill jeweler analyze |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
You will get output like this, which gives you a clue whether it's futile or not to try |
| 52 |
to make this ring at your current level in the jeweler skill: |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
ring (str+1)(dex+2): Projected success rate: Way above your skill |
| 55 |
ring (resist electricity +22)(con-1): Projected success rate: Way above your skill |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
=head2 Merging rings or amulets |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
You can merge the abilities of two rings or amulets, or even between a ring and an amulet. |
| 60 |
For example: toss two rings in the workbench, and type: |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
use_skill jeweler merge analyze |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
And you will get a similar output as for C<use_skill jeweler analyze>, which tells you |
| 65 |
whether you have a chance. If you are confident enter this command to merge the jewelery: |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
use_skill jeweler merge |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
You either get the merged improved ring/amulet or a very bad ring/amulet. |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
=head2 Improving rings and amulets |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
Improving rings is a bit more complicated, but it generally follows this schema: |
| 74 |
You have to put N base items, which indicate your plan, into the workbench. For example |
| 75 |
2 potions of strenght indicate that you want to improve a ring from (Str+0) to (Str+1). |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
Then you just execute the jeweler skill to calculate how many additional gems you need to |
| 78 |
fullfill that plan, just enter: |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
use_skill jeweler |
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
You will get an output similar to this (here a ring (str+1)(dex+2) and 2 wisdom potions were |
| 83 |
placed in the workbench): |
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
You want to make a ring (wis+1)(str+1)(dex+2): Projected success rate: Slightly above 50:50 |
| 86 |
You recognize that you are short of: 200 times gem, 1600 times ruby |
| 87 |
|
| 88 |
Next you put 200 diamonds and 1600 rubies in the bench and try your luck with the same command. |
| 89 |
You either see: |
| 90 |
|
| 91 |
You succeed. |
| 92 |
|
| 93 |
And have a ring (Str+1)(Dex+2)(Wis+1) in your workbench, or you see: |
| 94 |
|
| 95 |
You fail! |
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
And have a ring (Str-1)(Dex-2)(Wis-1) in your workbench. |
| 98 |
|
| 99 |
If you succeed to make the ring, you will get more experience. The more difficult a ring |
| 100 |
is, the more experience you get. |
