 '''Crafting''' is a versatile treasure, which can be used to create items both common and unique.  Any character who has acquired the Crafting treasure is known as a '''crafter.'''  Unlike most non-item treasures, '''Crafting''' can be obtained repeatedly.
-Crafters are relatively common in Hyrule, but becoming one does require training.  When gaining the Crafting treasure, you can select to be a blacksmith, woodworker, botanist, or tailor.  (You can elect to take another crafting trade instead--such as jeweler or cartographer--but realize there currently isn't much support for Crafts outside the main four.)  Regardless of your particular pursuit, your skill in Crafting is represented by a level.  A novice blacksmith is vastly different than a master who forges legendary swords, but even a novice can be useful.
+When becoming a crafter, one must choose whether to become a [[Weaponsmith]], [[Outfitter]], or [[Botanist]].  A Weaponsmith specializes in creating weapons, shields, and other items that can be wielded in the hands.  An Outfitter specializes in creating armor, clothing, or other garments to be worn.  Finally, a Botanist specializes in seeds, potions, bombs, and other effects that are normally consumed with a single use.  See each craft's appropriate page for further details on that craft, and what items can be created.  These created items can be kept for the crafter's own benefit, or exchanged with other characters.
-To understand why advancing in Crafting matters, it is important to first know how Crafting works.  Even a novice with a single level in his Crafting trade can make common items freely, such as normal swords for a blacksmith, or mundane tomatoes for a botanist.  When crafting such items, the user can either role-play out the procedure, or just mention in-character that the crafting took place.  As you advance in Crafting levels, you become able to use extraordinary [[:Category:Materials|Materials]] to make extraordinary items. Additionally, you can use your skill to earn bonus rupees.
+All crafts are similar in that you start at level one in that craft, and, as you gain more levels, you become able to use increasingly powerful and increasingly numerous [[:Category:Materials|materials]] to create increasingly powerful and useful items.  Gaining the first level of your first craft costs 30 rupees, and gaining another level always costs a number of rupees equal to that level times 10.  (Getting to second level costs 20 rupees, and advancing to the third level costs another 30 rupees, etc.)  Normally, becoming skilled in a craft in the first place required a good amount of talent and motivation.  As such, if a character pursues a second or third craft beyond his first, all levels for these additional crafts cost twice the normal amount.
-First, note that the aforementioned Materials are listed in the Library like any other treasures.  Unlike most treasures, a Material has a set rupee price regardless of PWC.  Each Material defines a specific extraordinary effect, and a crafter can '''consume''' that Material to give '''one''' otherwise common item they craft the specified effect.  As you progress in level, you become able to use more powerful and more numerous Materials in crafting an item.   A Crafter can even use several Materials to give several effects to the crafted item.  However, the total rupee cost of the Materials cannot exceed 10 times the user's Crafter level.  (So, a user with 3 Crafting (in Blacksmithing) can use up to 30 rupees of Materials to make a sword, or shield, or piece of armor, etc.)
+In every completed quest, a crafter also gains an amount of rupees based on his crafter levels.  For every crafter level he has, he gains an extra 2 rupees, regardless of what craft(s) he has.  For example, if a character was a Weaponsmith 4 and a Botanist 1, he would have a total of 5 levels, meaning 10 extra rupees in every quest.

 The '''blacksmith''' trade is the most common trade used by warriors, as metal can be used to craft traditional weapons like axes and swords, thrown weapons, shields, and protective metallic armor.  Blacksmiths benefit from being able to craft both the hardest and the sharpest objects.  When a blacksmith consumes a Material, he can craft any one metal melee weapon, an ample [[:Category:Stock Field|supply]] of metal ammunition for a ranged weapon (including arrows or bolts), a suit of armor, an armor accessory, a shield, or nearly any one object smaller than the blacksmith which is made mostly out of metal.
-As a blacksmith, you can freely repair any broken, rusted, or bent metallic item during a role-play.  Since metal items are usually smelted and shaped, you cannot normally separate such items into their Material components.

 While wood isn't as rigid as steel, a good '''woodworker''' knows it can be far more versatile.  Almost anything which can be made out of metal can also be made out of an appropriate type of wood, whether it be hard oak for a shield, or sharpened Deku sticks for a blade.  Furthermore, a woodworker can create objects a blacksmith can't, such as bows and whips made from twine.  When a woodworker consumes a Material, he can craft any one wooden melee weapon, an ample [[:Category:Stock Field|supply]] of ammunition for a ranged weapon, a wooden armor accessory, a wooden shield, or nearly any one object smaller than the woodworker which is made mostly out of wood or twine.

	The cost to gain the first level of Crafting in a trade is always 30 rupees. To gain additional levels, the rupee cost is equal to the next level multiplied by 10. So, getting to level 2 would cost 20 rupees, level 3 would cost another 30 rupees, etc. There is no defined maximum level for Crafting, but it becomes increasingly difficult to gain levels the higher you reach.

 Secondly, a crafter can earn bonus rupees.  Whenever a Crafter finishes a quest which involved--even minutely--his Crafting ability, he can gain an additional amount of rupees equal to double his Crafting level.  Generally, this represents the Crafter selling his services to other characters, but that aspect need not be specifically role-played.  This rupee gain is a [[:Category:PerQuest Field|PerQuest]] affect, and as such, doesn't stack with any other {{Field|Rupee}}-based PerQuest treasure.
