Title: elm planks- waht are they good for?
Post by: scifibarbie on April 02, 2008, 02:02:29 AM

HI guys,

I jsut found some elm plans in a chest. Now abi being the astute wood crafter that she is..cant seem to figure out what they can be used for.

The only woods the crafthalls let her work with being hickory, oak, mahogany and yew.

Im assuming these were from V1 of layo...so many hundreds of or thousands of years before she saw the light of day.

Any thoughts on the matter?

I found one or two as well. I'm assuming they're old loot drops... bugged ones with no use ingame... as I've never seen any spell or crafting use for them.

But... I'm curious to see a GM reply... incase I missed something.

My guess would be they are standard NWN drops. As if I remember correctly, elm planks are use in the standard NWN 'crafting' system.

Maybe, if nothing else, they could be donated for relief efforts like the rebuilding of Corsain and Stone and such as construction materials...though I'm not sure of the durability of Elm for use as a building material...maybe shingles?

elm wood planks were used in default crafting for bows and arrow shafts, from the hotu manual

Or we can use them now, build a huge bonefire, make smores, and tell ghostly stories.

UI suppose they should count towards those "rebuilding city X" charity drives like the Foundation's holding.  Save you some sawdust AND you finally have a place to send those planks!

Of course all the ones I got were from some cursed temple, so the poor little peasant refugees might get possessed by demons.
