Crafting Complaints
cptpatriot:
I just finished my first true crafting session, cutting down beech trees, going to the elven place, crafting shortbows, and I go to the city to sell them and I'm offered a SINGLE fang for it.
Is there something wrong here?
At the very least, it should be worth more than the materials I made it from. Even the rotten bows are worth more.

This is a know deterrent in the system. Consider them practice, and sell some of the resources you get to offset the loss of practice until you become really good. Read the posts on bowyering, smithing, crafting etc. The crafting system is set up to deter people from crafting on purpose in both financial as well as with time required to become good at crafting. Time required has dropped considerably though based upon feedback, so consider yourself lucky. :)
I have spent -many- hours working on Dorin to become a smith. When I say many, most of Dorin's xp from 9 through 12 were related to or around smithing and countless hours to do so. It still consumes a great deal of whom Dorin is as a PC. He is a smith and it has opened many many rp situations because of it. :)
I do have a post that Dorin is asking for Oak Planks and Wooden Handles, 10 fang each. He will pay well for them to supply the war effort of the guards so they have gear. The reason he is willing to pay, he doesn't have to do it himself.
Rotted bows are an anomaly. A prize for those lower lvl's who travel down there and return with them. About the only thing of value in the crypts 99% of the time.
Welcome to the world of crafting. Stick with it and it will pay off. :)

Also the idea is to sell crafted items to players aswell, low prices in the stores encourage this, ravenloft gets in new players all the time so you should find plenty of people who want to buy bows, and people also choose mqany alternative alt charecters so that should help too
Nefensis:
Yep listen to Dorin whom we had to convince of the same thing :mrgreen: as you get better with crafting you'll make much much more money.. altought i have to agree the rotten bow thingy is rather dumb :oops:
