Ed. As soon as I am done with the spells, I will look into some of the crafts. Wont be going very deeply into it, but going over what is written in the previous handbook.

I have reviewed the Fishing, Gem Crafting and Alchemy ... which all appear correct
Fishing I only use the pole, so i did not review the bow part of fishing
A couple things I have noticed of late ...
Alchemy the vial and flasks do not get destroyed on failed attempts to create in Alchemy
but, in food making the flask does get destroyed on failed attempt to make juice
also enchanting cure potions, they require a flask yet on a successful attempt the empty flask remains in pool and a cure potion is in inventory. On a failed attempt flask is in pool
-
I'll check the Food Crafting.
-
I checked Tailoring and it said that leather is created at the Tailors table. I think it is actually the tanning rack. Also, it doesnt say anything about the tailoring dummy for crafting armor.
So, I just rewrote it. :)
I am emailing it to you. Feel free to use it if you like.

I took a look at the poison crafting before the reboot, seems ok to me.
-
Took a look at the Weaponsmithing section, and there are a few things to be changed.
- Weapons/armors cannot be smelted, so that detail should be removed.
- Weapons can be coated with silver, increasing damage to Undead AND Shapchangers, OR coated with Titanium for extra damage against Outsiders.
- One can also craft weapons from Adamantium and Mithril, though this may not be exactly important for a novice weaponcrafter since we're talking about the basics here.

Gem Crafting:
Amethyst - Adds resistance to Acid
(It was never added to the book or to the Gem page under players.)
If I find something eles I'll post again.
-
I'll take a look over the enchanting section,
With a quick glance it looks like it just needs some minor grammactical and wording changes.

Amethyst - Adds resistance to Acid
(It was never added to the book or to the Gem page under players.)
Amethyst is on the gem page under player but not in the handbook.
I also looked over the gem page and it says enchanting a gem will take 2, 4, or 6 spells. It takes three spells to enchant an Alexndrite I am not sure about diamonds or emeralds because I have never enchanted either of those
EDIT: I'll send you the updated Enchanting section when i finish updating it
-
Ed, it looks like you had a plan to help keep all this info organized. Did you want us to just post whatever we came up with, or do you want the info another way?

*smiles* What a great community! Thank you for jumping in and helping Ed out.

The Basics of Brewing 1) Brewing beer, wine and liquor begins with the gathering of wheat grains or other grains like corn, barley, wheat, rice, rye and oat grains.
2) Grains must be roasted to bring out their flavor using the Brewer's Oven.
3) The Farmer’s Mill is then used to crack the roasted grains to produce malted gain.
4) Malted grain sugar and water are cooked to make wort using the Brewer’s Kettle.
5) Finally, the wort, hops, and brewers yeast can then be combined with other natural resources and bottled in the Brewer’s Keg.

Muscial Instruments looks fine.

I will look at wood crafting for you.

I will check instrument crafting. I looked it over here at work and I see a few things I think might need changed, but I will check it tomorrow when I am at home with access to my notes and the game.
You also need a carpenter’s tool in your backpack. And tambourines need cotton, but you make the cloth for tambourines from cotton as well so it might be redundant to add cotton to the materials also used. Other then that it looks good, for the basics.

Thanks for the overwhelming response!

Baking:
I would not call milk and eggs "typical" ingredients for pies and breads. Of all the pies and breads, only cornbread requires milk and eggs. Corn oil is a typical ingredient, though, and was not previously included.
Brewing:
Line 1: Wheat is mentioned twice. Also, "wine" doesn't belong in that sentence, unless you add "grapes" in there somewhere. Wine doesn't follow the same procedure as ales, though. Basically, you just toss the ingredients and some bottles into the keg. None of the malt business, and you don't even have to make grape juice first.
Line 3: The last word is a typo. "Gain" should be "grain."
Lines 4 and 5: As corrected above by Minerva.

Sorry Ed, one day late.
Herewith the reviewed wood crafting: The Basics of Wood Crafting 1) Wood crafting combines carpentry, bow crafting and fletching 2) Wood types - Hickory (no attack bonus) - Oak (+1 attack) - Mahogany (+2 attack) - Yew (+3 attack) 3) Gathering wood - Equip a Woodcutter’s Axe, which can be purchased at the merchants, and then bashing choppable tree - Rangers and druids can make a camp fire within ten meters from a choppable tree and use forage for wood option 4) Wood is then placed on the Carpenter’s Bench and while possessing a Set of Carpenter’s Tools - Using sandpaper to craft planks, staves, shafts, spears, clubs and quarterstaffs - Arrow shafts and sawdust 5) The staves with bowstrings are used to create bows and crossbows 6) To make arrows use the Fletcher’s bench and add arrow shafts, arrowheads and feathers 7) The Furniture bench is used to make chairs, tables, crates, chests, etc. by using planks, shafts and some other items

Thanks all!
