Tinkering

Tinkering is all about making tools, provisions, and other bits and pieces used by the other crafting professions. If you can't buy it from a provisioner chances are you'll need a tinker to make it.

Overview

Tinkering requires a tinker's toolkit, a combined collection of various crafting tools, which is available from a provisioner.

Making items, like most crafting, can be repeated with F11.

Raw Materials

Tinkers require one of the most diverse set of materials to work, drawing their parts from several other crafts. Items such as ingots, poles and brass sheets are manufactured, mesh and leather can be purchased, whereas raw glass must be collected.

Ingots

These are the regular ingots that are smelted from ordinary ore by your average miner / metallurgist. Many experienced Tinkers will also be good miners due to their constant demand for basic metal ingredients.

Poles

Poles are easily made from logs by anyone with basic woodcrafting skills. As with smelting ingots, many Tinkers have a rudimentary knowledge of woodcrafting to ensure a steady supply of poles.

Raw Glass

Raw glass can be found by hunting for sand traps in the desert regions of New Sosaria. Beware, for they have quite a bite.

Brass and Silver Sheets

A trained Weaponsmith or Armourer can hammer ingots into brass and silver sheets respectively.

Tinkering Recipes

The tinkering recipes are broken up into three sections: basic items, jewelry and crafting tools. The last set contains all of the tinted tools required by crafts such as weaponsmithing and making armour.

Use (u) your tinker's toolkit with the necessary raw ingredients in your inventory to craft an item.

Brass Golems

The Grand Master Tinker can create their own pet: a brass golem.

Ingredients required:

• 50 regular ingots
• 50 brass ingots
• 10 brass sheets
• 1 golem power crystal.

The power crystal can be found perhaps on the corpse of another non-functioning golem, but finding a crystal undamaged will prove a difficult task.

Once the golem is crafted, an inanimate golem will be in the tinker's inventory. Use this item and a golem will spring to life. If the tinker has no pet already, then this golem will become their new pet. If the tinker has a pet already, then the golem will be a neutral creature which will disappear after a time.

To feed your golem, use (shift+u) golem power crystals on it. Think of it as recharging your golem rather than feeding it. However this practice of recharging isn't actually necessary in order to keep your golem in working condition.
