Focusing Orb
Fox brush
Loomer
Quill

(not sure what to make the quill out of though...)

  • Chicken tailfeathers. Unless they bring out turkeys for Thanksgiving.

    What will the glass-based items be made from? Sparkly perhaps?

  • +1 It'd be really cool to be able to make that stuff, but I rather prefer the idea of quills being rewards for every time you defeat a rook..

    Perhaps we could use crystals for glass tools? It's not like we have to show that it's being heated up to re-shape it (we don't show any animation for metal ingots being reshaped into frying pans and what-not).

  • I think that it's possible to make these tools with leftover parts too, oddly enough...

  • The glass will be obtained by putting sand in the smelter. Sand we will get from grinding a new resource, sandrock, that will come from pouring milk on apples. Any competent alchemist can perform this.

  • I like that the tinker and construction tools cannot be made, both as a currant sink and as a lore item.

    But for the rest -- please oh *please* let us craft them! Even if the margins are slight, the engineer in me burns with desire to make these.

    Turning 100 or so metal ingots into a cauldron --- oooohhhh my yeesssss!

  • Quill: Someone said something in an earlier idea about getting rook feathers as a reward for defeating the rook.  Maybe make this a resource, used in quill making?  It would give a reward other than a small about of iMG and a sense of pride for defending Ur (sometimes it doesn't seem worth it).

    Focusing orb: Maybe another use for crystals, besides restoring mining rocks (if there are any other uses I've not found them).  Maybe even incorporate gems?

    Tinkertool:  Part of me says building a tinkertool with a tinkertool is the type of loop that should get you sucked into a black hole of your own making, but then, I guess you can use a hammer to make another hammer, so I guess that would be alright.

    I will stand in line to be sucked into  black hole for using my tinker tool to craft another tinker tool to craft another tinker tool to craft....

  • If you can repair a tinkertool with a tinkertool, then you should be able to craft a tinkertool using a tinkertool without the universe imploding.   It's just that with non-craftable items (and i would add firefly jars to the list)  there is less possibility for price competition against the vendors.  You pretty much have to go to the vendors and that's it.   I would like to see *more* craftable-only items.

  • Yes to the rook feathers idea, man, we need physical rewards for all this rook fighting!

  • I was just thinking to myself that I would really, really, REALLY like to be able to spin Focusing Orbs instead of having to go out and hope for drops so that I can keep them in stock in my store. 

    Could be done with the Crystalmalizer, maybe, or some new type of tool ("Psonic Snail-driver" anyone?).

    Using, say, 2 Plain Crystals and some Essence of Purple would be a good, balanced recipe. :)  A Beaker could be 1 Plain Crystal and a chunk of Dullite or a couple of Hard Bubbles or something. 

    One problem with using Plain Crystals with Test Tubes or Firefly Jars though is the value loss.  1 Plain Crystal = 300 currants, while a Test Tube or Firefly Jar is only 100 c.  Maybe a good chance for a second type of Crystal then!  Tiny Crystals, that could either be broken down from Plain Crystals, or just be a separate recipe in the Crystalmalizer.  :)

    Anyways, more crafting=more awesome, any way you slice it. :) +1
