I have been looking over the crafting rules and they mention item levels as a required number to figure out crafting times.
The problem is, I can't seem to find them.
Foe example, I wanted to calculate the time to make a sword and I don't see item levels on the weapon chart.
Am I missing something here?
ITEM LEVEL
Each item has an item level, which represents the complexity of the item and any magic used in its construction. Simpler items with a lower level are easier to construct, and you can’t Craft items that have a higher level than your own (see page 148). If an item’s level isn’t listed, its level is 0.
So, it is as easy to make a mace as a katana?
That doesn't seem right.
You can make a basic online catalog katana sure. If you want a 10,000 folded special katana that's going to be expert, master, or legendary quality which has a higher skill requirement.
Ok, I see that now.
I guess that means a moderate level craftsman can crank out munitions grade armor and weapons pretty quickly.
That could have possibilities in some scenarios...
