All verbs are unlocked at Tier 1. Each tier allows for the user to increase their affinity with the tome, which increases the bonuses it provides. Crafter's Tomes and Monocles do not stack with one another. Each provides slightly different verb traps, with Monocles released as head-worn and Tomes only able to be held in a hand, but otherwise the two function identically. Monocles were introduced to allow [[warrior]]s and [[monk]]s to benefit because their professional services require both hands to be available.

Hello there, intrepid adventurer! This vellum tome is a Crafter's Tome item. These items provide a bonus to service skills when activated, based on tier and affinity. When doing a test cast, a suffusion estimate, or applying a service, this tome wll grant you temporary bonuses to skills to maximize your chance of success.
==Verbs==

{| {{verbtable}} <!-- REQUIRED if there are verbs for this tier. For instructions on how to use this template, see Template:Verbtable. -->
{{blue|HOW DOES IT WORK}}

First, you must claim the book as your own. By {{blue|INFUSE}}'ing resources into the tome, you will bind the tome to yourself and begin to improve your affinity. Moving to affinity levels 1-4 requires 5k, 10k, 15k, and 20k resources, respectively. Additionally, binding this tome to you will start a 30 day timer before it can be bound to another. Once bound, the tome will only respond to you and only you will understand its secrets.

This item is set up as a tome and has access to the following verbs: INFUSE (set ownership, gain affinity), TEAR (reset ownership), OPEN (fluff), CLOSE (fluff), and READ (fluff, sense affinity). When it is held, it will provide temporary enhancives to your base stats and skill bonuses that will fade immediately once a service has been performed.

This vellum tome is currently tier {{blue|1}} of 4. Its current level of affinity with its owner is 0 of 1.

Crafter's Tomes and Crafter's Monocoles were released during Duskruin's August 2023 run in Tome Raiders. The tomes were designed and coded by GM Ethereal. They are designed to help characters boost their profession service skills (Enchanting, Ensorcelling, etc.) by providing temporary boosts to the relevant stats base and skills bonus when performing the skill. The boosts apply ONLY to professional services.

All verbs are unlocked at Tier 1. Each tier allows for the user to increase their affinity with the tome, which increases the bonuses it provides. Crafter's Tomes and Monocles do not stack with one another. Each provides slightly different verb traps, with Monocles released as head-worn and Tomes only able to be held in a hand, but otherwise the two function identically. Monocles were introduced to allow warriors and monks to benefit because their professional services require both hands to be available.

Crafter's Tome

A Crafter's Tome provides a benefit to profession services when one is held in the hand.

Analyze

OVERVIEW

Hello there, intrepid adventurer! This vellum tome is a Crafter's Tome item.  These items provide a bonus to service skills when activated, based on tier and affinity.  When doing a test cast, a suffusion estimate, or applying a service, this tome wll grant you temporary bonuses to skills to maximize your chance of success.

HOW DOES IT WORK

First, you must claim the book as your own.  By INFUSE'ing resources into the tome, you will bind the tome to yourself and begin to improve your affinity.  Moving to affinity levels 1-4 requires 5k, 10k, 15k, and 20k resources, respectively.  Additionally, binding this tome to you will start a 30 day timer before it can be bound to another.  Once bound, the tome will only respond to you and only you will understand its secrets.

This item is set up as a tome and has access to the following verbs: INFUSE (set ownership, gain affinity), TEAR (reset ownership), OPEN (fluff), CLOSE (fluff), and READ (fluff, sense affinity).  When it is held, it will provide temporary enhancives to your base stats and skill bonuses that will fade immediately once a service has been performed.

This vellum tome is currently tier 1 of 4. Its current level of affinity with its owner is 0 of 1.

Bonuses

Bonuses are as follows. Stats are expressed as a bonus to the base while skills are expressed as a bonus to the skill.

Tier 1
  Cleric: +5 Wisdom and Influence per affinity level. +5 Magic Item Use and Arcane Symbols plus +5 per affinity level.
  Wizard: +5 Logic and Intuition per affinity level. +5 Magic Item Use and Arcane Symbols plus +5 per affinity level.

ALTERING

This item may be freely altered but must remain consistent with being a tome.  Any willing merchant may customize the flare/lense color (Currently cerulean).

Affinity

OTS/Tier 1 tomes allow for level 1 affinity. Further unlocks increase maximum potential affinity by one level each, up to level 4. First, you must claim the book as your own. By INFUSEing resources into the tome, you will bind the tome to yourself and begin to improve your affinity. Moving to affinity levels 1-4 requires 5k, 10k, 15k, and 20k resources, respectively. Additionally, binding this tome to you will start a 30 day timer before it can be bound to another. Once bound, the tome will only respond to you and only you will understand its secrets.
