General

Carpentry is used to craft most wooden items, including furniture and staves, as well as house add ons like forges, water troughs, pentagrams and ovens. Most players will only need these items when they (re)decorate their house, and some feel it's easier to simply buy them from a player run vendor instead of making a carpenter.

To craft house add-on deeds and some items, carpenters also have to have some knowledge in other skills:

• Tailoring: Dress form, loom, spinning wheel, small and large beds, pickpocket dip and the training dummy.
• Tinkering: Flour mill and Stone oven.
• Magery: Abattoir and pentagram.
• Musicianship: all music instruments.
• Smithing: Anvil, small and large forge

• Dovetail Saw
• Froe
• Inshave
• Jointing Plane
• Moulding Plane
• Saw
• Scorp
• Smoothing Plane

Potion Kegs

The items required to make a kegs are: 3 barrel staves, 1 barrel lid, 1 set of barrel hoops (tinkering).
With these items in your backpack you can make an open barrel.
Once you have the keg, you need another barrel lid, a keg tap and 10 bottles to tinker the final keg. Simply use your tinkering tool kit and choose the item in the assembly menu.

My skill check looked *a lot* like the above, but I may have carried gnarled staves even higher than 97.0. I ended up using close to 100k boards (or more--don't remember). 0-70 went really quickly. It was the upper levels that really sucked.

Best advice: Load up your packy with lots of wood from faction vendors. Move all that wood to a secure (bank, etc). Then Make Last whatever you are working on while your wood is in a bag, pouch, backpack, a box, or other container. Dump the products onto the ground and grab another bag and wood from the secure. Destroying your creations takes too much time and hand-eye coordination. Selling them yields very little per board and NPC's fill up quickly, so it is hardly worth the bother.

Faction vendors will sell more and more over time. You have to prime them. So do not be disheartened if you only see 20 boards per sale slot. Keep buying. They will sell more the more you buy.

Be prepared to drop ~ 200-250 k on this habit. Enjoy your new furniture/instruments.

Tips & Tricks

• You should record a macro to make and then recycle the items you make, unless you want to sell them for gold of course.
  
  

  Use item type (carpentry tool)
  Menu select (item to make)
  pause 1500
  Use item (axe)
  Target item type (item you just made)
  

  You don't get any wood back when you chop furniture, but this is better than having to drag everything into the trash.
  
  
• If you have lumberjacking and carpentry on the same character, you can work on carpentry while you're lumberjacking:

  Use item type (axe)
  Target relative location (tree in front of you)
  pause 1200
  Use item type (carpentry tool)
  Menu select (quarter staff/gnarled staff)
  pause 1500
  Use item (axe)
  Target item type (quarterstaff/gnarled staff)
  pause 5000
  

  Using this macro you can just walk from tree to tree (actually, resource square to resource square) and play the macro twice. It will automatically chop 10 logs, make one staff and then recycle it immediately after. If you have 90+ lumberjacking you should never run out of wood.
  
  
• If you have some tinkering on your carpenter you can make new carpentry tools out of wood as well as out of ingots.
