Inventing (skill)

Inventing is a special skillset that allows the Engineer to create a wide variety of items to assist in and out of combat. While there are dozens of items that can be made, chemicals are arguably the most important for the engineer to master. Chemicals can be combined with Ballistics and Focus to help wear your opponents down.

Chemicals can only be purged from the bloodstream with a new curative known as domecap. This new fungi reacts differently depending on the number of chemicals in the bloodstream. A person with only one chemical in their body will find that it takes a long time before they can use it again. Whereas someone with many chemicals will be find themselves quickly recovered from the effects of the domecap. It is important to note that domecap and toadstools share the same balance.

Be aware that inventing is expensive skill to use. Every item, compound, and chemical has a cost associated with it.

Black Powder
Syntax: FASHION <1-10> BLACKPOWDER	This is a powerful commodity used in many items. It can only be created by grinding equal amounts of sulphur, saltpetre and charcoal together. Be warned! This is a dangerous process. Many scientists have died when rushing their work. Gathering the items needed to create blackpowder can be a difficult process. As such, some direction has been provided on how to acquire these products. Sulphur The Yhumara volcano shoots up ash and sulphur crystals, which can be found scattered across the nearby isles. Charcoal This product will burn from wood fires. While hunters, wardens and amazons have specific special skills to make fires, you can also create a simple fire to generate you own charcoal. The commands BUILD FIRE and STOKE FIRE will allow you to do so. The more wood a fire has in it, the faster it will produce charcoal. Saltpetre Produced naturally from decaying waste, this product can be found in a variety of ways. Swamp and jungle areas will sometimes create it on their own, as will exterminated room. To create it in a more controlled manner, one can CREATE COMPOST HEAP. This will require at least 10 items of food, plants or dead animal matter in the room to create. As time passes saltpetre will slowly form. You can easily add to a compost heap by dropping more items in the room with the heap, which will slowly absorb them. The larger a heap, the faster it will produce. You can LIGHT HEAP to burn away the compost heap. This will result in the heap being destroyed when it can no longer produce anything.
Commodities: 1 sulphur, 1 saltpetre, 1 charcoal

Hollow Shot
Syntax: FASHION HOLLOWSHOT	Create the 50 hollow shot needed for the flintlock and blunderbuss weapons. This requires a lit forge.
Commodities: 1 stehl
Changelog:

Compounds
Syntax: CREATE <compound> CREATE <amount> <compound> CRUSH QUARTZ	You can create the following compounds which are used to create chemicals. Chemicals can be used with your hollow shot to hit targets with powerful afflictions. BlackIce  : 1 Coal, 1 Ice BoneSlate  : 1 Obsidian, 1 Bone ClearAsh  : 1 Sinn, 1 Glass SandFlake  : 1 Isan, 1 Quartz Dust LusterChip : 1 Silver, 1 Emerald ProsperDust: 1 Gold, 1 Diamond Each fashion will create a group of 15 compounds. If you use FASHION <amt> <compound>, you will fashion the compound that many times. Thus, if you fashion 10, you will get a group of 150. Note: Quartz Dust is made from the Quartz commodity with the command CRUSH QUARTZ.
Changelog:

Hydroite
Syntax: MIX COMPOUNDS FOR HYDROITE LOAD SHOT WITH HYDROITE	You can load hydroite into a hollow shot in preparation for shooting an enemy with it. The chemical will eventually destroy the shot, making it unstable and the chemical will become inert. Hydroite is a chemical slowly corroding the skin doing periodic poison damage. This chemical may be stacked on an opponent three times doing more damage per stack. It is cured by eating a domecap.
