Guilds and Side Trades - Under Construction

There are a number of weapons and armor guilds, as well as crafting guilds and side trades. You may only be a member of one weapons guild and one armor guild. The commodities guild combines leather-working, smelting and wood-working. You can craft all three items when you join that guild. Side trades are things such as candles, fishoil and soap. You can make as many of these items as you wish.

The cost to join a weapons guild is 150 gold crowns and to join the armor guild, it's 140 crowns. The cost to join the commodities guild is 160 gold crowns. You do not have to pay to make any of the side trade items.

To join the commodities guild, find the guild master in Tarandrelle, in A Large Farmhouse. Tell him, "I wish to join your crafting guild." He will ask for 160 gold crowns. Give him the money and he will welcome you to the guild and tell you where you can learn more about the various commodities.

Leather-working

In order to make leather, or leather straps, you'll need to collect a few items first. Some of these are readily available; others you'll need to craft for yourself.

• cask of fishoil 
• packet of soap 
• long, heavy knife (buy from a weaponsmith)
• a piece of white willow bark (buy from an herbalist)
• the scalp of a bison, cow or ox. 

Once you have the items gathered, head to the little village just outside of the ruins of Rhahime and to the west of Tar Valon. From the fountain, go xxx . Find the old woman and ask her "how do I make leather?" Give her your scalp and she'll give you back a hide. Follow her into the room with the barrel in it. Ensure you are wielding the long, heavy knife. "Scrape hide" to begin the process of crafting the leather. You'll see a sequence of steps performed automatically, and then you will be prompted with things like, "You can now xxx." Follow each prompt with the correct syntax to complete the process and you'll find yourself with a brand new knot of leather straps.

Syntaxes:

1. Scrape hide
2. Put bark pit.
3. Put soap barrel
4. Drop cask
5. Cut straps leather
