A comprehensive guide to the Handicrafting discipline, part of the Artistry and Crafting System, focused on creating weapons, instruments, and accessories from natural materials in Veins.

Handicrafting is part of the Artistry and Crafting System. The following is a guide to get you started on handicrafting:

• Warp to Veins, and walk around the map to get to a plateau in the center. Locate the Handicrafting Guild (Located around 230, 180)
• Speak to Handicrafting Master, and accept the invite to practice some handicrafting. Speak to him again and he will inform you of some work orders. You can complete these work order to earn Denarius, a type of currency used to buy higher skill level books. Since this is also crafting, you can gain skill levels by crafting the items for the work order.
• When accepting a work order, it tells you the items required to fill it. Keep repeating the process of crafting items for the order until you reach a 5 level marker. Every 5 Skill Levels will make the master give you a new work order.
• Speak to the Handicrafting Table in the same area, and trade it items required for the crafted product. Each time you craft items, you earn experience for your skill level. After creating the items, you can return to the Handicrafting Master who will give you denarius for the work order.
• Repeat the process of obtaining work orders, leveling, and crafting to advance in your craft. At any point, you may start crafting weapons and/or armors. The higher level you are in a craft, the better success chance you will have.
• You need a new Handicrafting Guide every 10 level to continue leveling your handicrafting skill. Intermediate at 10, Advanced at 20, and Journeyman's at 30 respectively.
• You can buy Handicrafting Guides from the Handicrafting Shop. You can also buy an Artisan's Charm to increase your crafting success.
• A message “Your handicrafting skill has increased slightly.” or “Your handicrafting skill is now level _!” to let you know that your Handicrafting level increased.
• You may speak to the Crafting Master to be told what your current crafting level is.

NOTE: Don't wear Incantation Samurai Card or any other cards that will make you lose HP, or the cast will be interrupted and you will lose your items during crafting!!

At any time, a player can trade in a completed equipment/weapon to the Dismantling Table (Located at 236, 176 in Veins). By dismantling an item, you can receive some of the basic ingredients back. Just like crafting, you can receive the normal amount of items, or if you're lucky, double the normal amount.
