Crafter's Tomes 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 service skills (Enchanting, Ensorcelling, etc.) by providing temporary boosts to the relevant stats base and skills bonus when performing the skill.

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. This item does not stack with Crafter's Monocles.

Analyze

You analyze the vellum tome and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

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.
