Alchemy and Crafting

I decided the currency was called 'Libris'.



Alchemy Items and Crafting

Libra has a large number of talented crafters, all capable of making a wide variety of items, potions, and weapon enhancements. Additionally, players themselves can also craft items should they so choose with the following restrictions:

1) You must pay the cost of an item's materials if you do not have them.

Synthesis items have a cost which represent acquiring the materials. You must have materials to craft. If you have 100% of the required synthesis materials, you may craft without paying.

2) You must make a [Craft + Will] roll to craft something.

While anyone can technically craft an item, they must have and use the appropriate skill to craft.

3) If you fail, you lose.

If you fail to complete the Craft roll, you lose all of the material components you used. Somehow, you botched it.

4) You must make a [Craft + Will] roll to add items into sockets, though not to remove them.

You may add elemental stones to your gear to give them extra properties. These stones can be removed without issue, and without destroying them, but to add them to gear you do need to make a roll. Should you fail this roll, you lose the stone, but not the item. You broke it or something.

5) You can only craft items you have found already in the world.

You may only synthesize items that you have already found. Some items may be unsynthesizable, because they are special materials.

Metals

Iron – 500 Libris – A very weak metal that is useful in synthesis.
Steel – 800 Libris – A weak metal that is useful in synthesis.
Mythril – 1500 Libris – As strong metal that is useful in synthesis.
Orichalcum – N/A – An extremely strong, unique metal that is used in crafting but cannot be synthesized.

Metal Combine: You may take two Iron and turn them into one Steel, and take two Steel and turn them into one Mythril. You may not combine Mythril to make Orichalcum.
