<DIV>I am a carpenter Lvl30 and something I have noticed so far that bothers me is this. I was lucky and got a faysteel anklet drop that I want to craft into a sconce (I want the status reduction it gives) so I bought the Advanced Carpenter volume 30 so I can craft it into a bar then plate. Now again I am a carpenter and I got the recipe from the advanced carpenter book but the recipe for making a feysteel bar doesn't use carpentry or even geomany....it uses metalshaping. HUH???? That isn't even my artisan class and I have no crafting "spells" that cover it like my carpentry skills do. Why is this? Why do I now have to hire someone to turn it into the plate that me recipe should allow me to do?  Now I know part of the responses are going to say I do have the skill metalshaping but all I have is the one set we got at lvl4 artisan. The tradeskill spells I have for carpentry let me use progress to increase endurance of the item I <STRONG><U>should </U></STRONG>be able to do the same with the Feysteel using the carpentry recipe. Is this a bug? I have filed a bug report but have gotten no response so I am posting it here hoping to get some kind of answer.</DIV>

Yes, the advanced alternate books allow carpenters to work with rares other than wood. Unfortunately it doesn't help with tier 1, but it does allow us to work with feysteel and others nicely. The books aren't necessarily cheap though <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.
