- 8.2 - Armorsmithing Crafting Packet Update

Hello players of K1,

Your Econ 1st has a big drop for you all. We have updated the ArmorSmithing Crafting Packet that will get us through until we get closer to not only a rule book update, but when we dive further into each crafting packet. These changes have been approved by the Appropriate GM and PM staff. The new crafting pack will take effect on Friday, August 20th, at 5:00 PM EST.

If you have any more questions or feedback please reach out to Econ at econ@kanar.club

Matthew Schaar - Economics Marshal 1st

current update as followed:

Market at-cost price has change:
Plate: lower by 18 silver
Chain lower by 11 silver
Composite lower by 8 silver
Leather lower by 1 silver

Amount you can craft between events:

Crafting Amount has been increased for the time being, but will change once the field starts to get saturated to encourage armor crafting and wearing.

Novice: Increased composite by 1 location.
Trainee: Can now craft 3 locations of Leather, Composite, and Chain
Apprentice: Can now craft 7 locations of Leather and Composite. E.g a full suit of armor and ½ a suit of Chain with 3 locations of plate
Journeyman: Can now make 2 full sets of Leather and Composite, 1 suit of Chain, and 5 locations of plate.
Master: 3 full suits of armor of leather and composite. 2 full suits of chain, and 1 full plate suit.

Material Cost Change:

Material Cost has changed as well with Plate armor costing 10 material units from 12.

Armor Repair Time Change:

Armor repair times have been updated from 1 A.P to 5 A.P. This means if you're a master Armorsmith you can repair 120 points of armor in less than ½ hour.

Status effects of Armor added:

Armor has been given status effects as well, called Broken and Destroyed.

Broken Armor is when the Armor points have reached zero. This allows a player to go into town or find an armorsmith who can repair their armor on field without having to buy or make new armor.

Destroyed Armor however means it can not be repaired. Normally this is due to Plot effect or spells like Withered Armor. These tags must be replaced in town or a new item must be crafted by an armorsmith. Seek tag drop off box or staff on your way off the field.

8.2 - NPCs Needed

Good afternoon,

I am looking for 10 - 15 combat NPCs for a four-hour shift during the Saturday of the next event (08/21/2021).

This shift will take place in the evening but won't be going super late into the night. I turn into a pumpkin around 11pm so certainly no later than that.

Members that NPC for the whole shift will get an additional reward on top of their GM XP.

If you are willing to sign up please post your discord name below and you will be added to an encounter discord.

Thank you in advance.
