Crafter's Tome

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.
