Schematics is a feature that allows players to craft new items, or embed certain items into other items. Basic schematics can be obtained from the Valmorgen Library, while more advanced ones can be obtained from other locations.

Overview[]

At least 1 point in the craftsmanship ability is required before schematics can be purchased. Schematics that have been purchased (or otherwise obtained) are accessed through the Schematics section of the Journal interface. Schematics can be utilized in one of two ways - crafting new items from a combination of ingredients, and embedding certain stat-boosting items into other items that have been socketed.

Creating new items[]

Once you have the necessary ingredients (specified in the Schematic description) and the schematic itself, combining the ingredients will result in a new item in your inventory. The ingredients will be removed upon a successful or unsuccessful combination. You'll receive 10XP for each difficulty level with a successful completion, with a chance of receiving a free point of craftmanship.

Socketing and embedding[]

Socketing an item allows you to embed Beard Rings or other eligible stat-boosting items into it, allowing for the creation of customized items. For instance, you could create an item with bonuses to Willpower solely for use when praying at a temple.

To socket an item, visit the Socket Carver in Lichfield Hollow. Each socketed item will be marked in your inventory as such, and can hold up to one, two, or three embeddable items. The number of items that have been embedded is also shown in the item's name. For instance, Socketed (1/3) Longbow +3 indicates that one item has been embedded, out of three socket slots.

Embedding a socketed item is performed in the same manner as crafting a new item. That is, open up the corresponding schematic in the schematics section of the journal, and fill in the fields with eligible items. The base item into which additional items are being embedded will be selectable as an ingredient. You'll receive 2XP per difficulty level for each item added by socketing.

Crafting success formula[]

Successful execution of a schematic depends on the craftsmanship ability. Heroes should make sure that their craftsmanship is high enough to guarantee successful use of a schematic, as otherwise, items are reduced to junk upon failure.

Success in using a schematic occurs if

where "Intelligence" is the hero's Intelligence attribute, "Rand(1,20)" is a random number from 1 to 20, and "Difficulty" is the difficulty rating of the schematic. The exception is when the schematic has a difficulty of 0, which results in a 100% chance for success regardless of the other factors. The term (Intelligence / 2) is believed to be rounded down to the nearest integer.

Therefore, success is guaranteed if

Craftsmanship can be trained to 40 at the Dwarven Engineer in the Magic Bazaar in Lormidia. A craftsmanship of 40 enables almost all schematics to be used with a 100% chance of success regardless of intelligence. Alternatively, if a hero does not possess high craftsmanship, the hero can use potions or equipment that can boosts intelligence. For example, the Medusa Potion raises INT by 20 points, equivalent to 10 points in craftsmanship.
