Cobbling tool
|
There are three primary cobbling tools used to make cobbled footwear via the cobbling system. They are the chalk, measuring cord, and cutting knife. While the cutting knife and measuring cord only need to be purchased once, chalk is a finite resource and will eventually be used up. All three cobbling tools can be purchased at the local Cobbler's Guild cobbling supply shop. ChalkChalk is used to mark out a cobbling pattern on an approriate cobbling material. This is done in a cobbling workshop, after placing the upper or sole material on the worktable. While holding a book of patterns and the chalk in each hand, use GAZE PATTERN.
You analyze the greyish violet chalk and sense that there is no recorded information on that item. It may or may not be able to be worked on by a merchant alterer. You get no sense of whether or not the chalk may be further lightened. Cutting KnifeA cutting knife is used to cut a cobbling material while working in a cobbling workshop after the upper or sole has been measured and marked. Most cutting knives have a stock description: The cutting knife is short and very sharp. It is probably not much good in a battle, but it would be great for cutting leather.
You analyze the cutting knife and sense that there is no recorded information on that item. It may or may not be able to be worked on by a merchant alterer. You can tell that the knife is as light as it can get.
Measuring CordA measuring cord is used to record the measurement of a person's foot to ensure that the cobbled footwear is made to be a perfect fit. Wearing cobbled footwear that has been measured for a character adds slightly different messaging when wearing or removing the footwear. It is also used early in the cobbling process in a cobbling workshop. After chalk has been used to mark a pattern, use MEASURE (material) before cutting it with a cutting knife to ensure that it is the appropriate length.
You analyze the knotted cord and sense that there is no recorded information on that item. It may or may not be able to be worked on by a merchant alterer. You get no sense of whether or not the cord may be further lightened.
