[Barbercat]

Ok I have searched every place I could find and haven't found anything explaining how to get mastercrafting skill. I have it on one of my characters but I don't how I got it. I just want to understand the process involed in getting to that level. And how to keep track to see how uch progress towards it I have made. Please if anyone can help explain it I would be greatful.

Mastercrafted and Handcrafted are qualities of gear that are created by players. The recipe and raw materials determine whether the final product is Handcrafted or Mastercrafted. Mastercrafted items are usually made from rare harvested or dropped materials such as ebon, cedar, ruby, etc., while Handcrafted items are from conventional materials such as fulginate, teak, bloodstone, etc.

oh Thank you very much! I have only been playing for about 2 weeks and still trying to learn the ins and outs of this game. Loving it so far! I even finished the betrayal quest with my Ratonga!!!! Yay <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> This game beats WoW hands down.

Just to elaborate - you will find the mastercrafted recipes in the advanced recipe books.

I have looked at those charts already, they are a great help. I just was unsure about the whole mastercraft business. Alot of the info I find on this game is really out of date. I had a heck of a time finding info on the betrayal quest. But now my Ratonga Swashbuckler will sail the high seas in search of pirates and adventure!!
