Category:Crafting Festival/2018

This year the festival started on 5/15 and ended on 8/6, and was followed by the Colorweave Festival.

A long time ago, the world was very chaotic. Nations were engaged in an endless war, and the people didn't dare imagine what tomorrow would bring. Many families were impoverished and displaced.

After a long time the war finally came to an end, and the craftsmen who had been forced to produce weapons used their skills to help the people. All of the craftsmen were happy to be able to stop making weapons and contribute something to the people. They worked hard to make people happy.

By working from before dawn until late into the night, the tireless efforts of these craftsmen improved the lives of the people in a short six months. In order to keep the Craftsman Spirit alive, future generations of craftsmen from all over show off their own work and learn from each other every year at this time.

Every time this season comes around, the craftsmen work tirelessly to show off their crafts in order to fulfill the "Craftsman Spirit" that has passed down over the years. These craftsmen who are usually busy working are even busier during this time... Many events are waiting for you, come and help the craftsmen and enjoy the festival and the flea market!

Craft Leveling
If your crafting skill is at least 15 and less than 70, you can use the recipes and materials in this festival to quickly raise your crafting level. This is NOT cheap, but it is fast. The NPCs listed below sell recipes and materials for the indicated crafts. These recipes have no Crafting Cost, all the materials can be purchased from the NPC, and the products stack.

Alchemy and Tailoring:

Recipes
While all of the recipes listed here can only be learned during the Crafting Festival, the first 2 tables of recipes can only be crafted during the festival as well. The materials they need are only sold during the festival. The third table list recipes earned during the festival but that can be used at any time.

Festival Only
These recipes are sold by and  in, and  and  in. Each also sells all materials needed for the recipes they sell.

The experience gain per completion is much higher than normal recipes, making the Crafting Festival recipes a great way to move from Crafting level 15 to 70 very quickly.

All these recipes cost, can be resold for , have no Crafting Cost beyond the cost of materials, and the products they make are Bound and can be sold for (even the  products). Obviously, no one is going to get rich raising their Crafting skills during the Crafting Festival. On the bright side, the materials and products all stack to 100 so you need to worry less about space than during non-festival crafting.

''Note: The recipes listed as rewards from the at this US Runes of Magic Forum Post are no longer available from this NPC. This may be the reason that none of the actually sell anything anymore and the  does not give the information that the  all say he should.''

''Rumor says that, once you have a Production skill that is level 60 or above, the will reward recipes and those recipes require the materials rewarded from the Commission daily quests. I have not yet confirmed this, but I have reached 60 in Carpenter. So far this rumor appears false.''
