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.

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|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 sheets. Currently they are able to hammer brass and silver 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.

Jewellery

Jewellery is made with a tinker's toolkit and various raw materials, such as gold nuggets, leather and coloured gemstones.

The main purpose of jewellery is to get an enchanter to imbue it with a magical effect, like additional defense, enhanced night vision or magic resistance.

Type	Item	Ingredients	Skill
ring	gold ring	gold nugget	30
	silver ring	silver ingot	30
	gold ring with ruby	gold nugget + ruby	45
	gold ring with emerald	gold nugget + emerald	45
	gold ring with sapphire	gold nugget + sapphire	45
necklace	amulet	leather + gold nugget	40
	necklace with ruby	leather + ruby	40
	necklace with emerald	leather + emerald	40
	necklace with sapphire	leather + sapphire	40
	ankh	leather + silver ingot	50

Crafting tools

The tinker is responsible for making all of the tools required by the tailor, the metallurgist, the Weaponsmith and the Armourer to make their items, including tinted items. A tinker can make all these tools, as they may or may not be for sale from a shoppe. See item materials for more info.

For example:

• A metallurgist requires copper tongs to make copper ingots.
• A weaponsmith requires a copper smiths' hammer to make copper weapons.
• An armourer requires a copper armourer's hammer to make copper armour.

tool	ingredients	skill per material
		ordinary	copper	silver	gold	b'rock	venomous	vampyric
smelting tongs	ingot	30	50	45	40	65	55	60
smith's hammer	ingot + pole	30	60	55	50	75	65	70
armourer's hammer	ingot + pole	30	65	60	55	80	n/a	n/a

For Tailors and their sewing kits, it is similar:

Brass Golems

The Grand Master Tinker can now create her/his 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. Drop this item on the ground and it 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) brass ingots on it. Think of it as repairing rather than feeding.
