Manufacturing guide by Silvatica

There are many that has though that manufacturing is a job that can earn them a lot of money to be sad by the the fact that drops from creatures and the many fighters make the items less worth then the ingredients in for some items like the titanium long sword a lot less worth then the ingredients.

Starting out

If you want to become good at manufacturing you need to join the manufacturing good the first thing you do - the extra 20 per cent manufacturing experience you get are invaluable to get far in this profession.

Visit all houses on IP to find the quest that gives you the first few levels in manufacturing. Do the quest and you are on your way to become the next manufacturing giant.

Getting to level 10.

Kill foxes and make fox scarfs are what you need to do to advance in manufacturing. Many foxes it becomes and many scarfs you need to mix. Actually you can buy the fox furs for as low as 7-8gc each and buy threads for 2gc each from general store and then make fox scarfs and sell them back to the general store for 10gc each. So in the beginning you can make some money making scarfs - I've done several thousands of fox scarfs myself even though the supply of fox furs are limited.


The leather helm hell

Do the leather quest - you need cheap leather so even if you can buy them at tradebot T_c for a decent price doing the leather quest so you can buy them even cheaper is needed if you want to become a great manufacturer.

Leather armour there are a small demand for but its hard to sell and the best way is just to make them for your own usages when training fighting and also have some small amount like 20 extra so that you can sell some to tradebots that pay decent for them. The same applies to low level metal items like shields and chainmails.

Basically all fur clothes are useless - well fur pants is not too bad to manufacture and sell to Trik in Lakeside but requires a large amount of animal parts so not many do a large amount of them.

There is no denying it - leather helms is the pinnacle of manufacturing - it's the item that most people have manufactured a lot and then either by selling them to Trik or poofing them in a school on a special school day. Making leather helms is the main way to level manufacturing.


Smithing the Steel Two Edged Sword - level 30+ Artifical 3

Most of the low level swords are dropped so they are worth a lot less then the ingredients - the only exception is the S2E which there is a market for. Hydro runners need S2E to harvest hydrogenium ore and as such the price is about 950 and the ingredients cost 922 so it's possible to make S2E and make a small profit from them. It requires a large supply of steel bars which you can either buy or make yourself.

Still don't forget to use the manufacturing gods blessing when making S2E at level 30 so you don't fail too often.

Either sell the S2E or use them to make your own hydro runs and buy the nexuses you need to make higher level items.


Higher levels

Well now continue to make S2E and poofing leather helms on school days and you will slowly but surely go on to higher manufacturing skills. But you still has a long way to go before being #1 in manufacturing. Hopefully this guide will learn you the steps needed to become good at manufacturing.
