Locks

Lockmaking
Lockmaking is a crafting skill which is used to make locks for buildings. There are several different types of locks that can be made. Crude, Simple, Tricky, Complex, Ingenious and Wonderous.You must first make the crude locks and improve your lockmaking skill before you can craft the simple lock. In order to craft a lock you must first have a mound of clay which can be found along any stream bed by digging with a Spade. Each lock mold costs different task points to craft. The Better the lock mold you want to craft, the more Task Points it will take to craft. Also to craft a lock, You must have access to a Stone Furnace, Place the Lock mold in the furnace along with whatever metals you want to make the lock out of. For example, If you want to make a Tricky, Mithril lock, You would place a certain number of Mithril flakes in the pit along with the Lock Mold. If you are unsure of how many flakes or nuggets or metals you need, Don't worry. The game will tell you if you do not have the right amount of metals in the furnace. You will also need charcoal, which can either be acquired from purchasing from another player, Or building yourself a Kiln which will yield 1000 charcoal. Place the charcoal in the pit. As I said before the game will let you know if you do not have enough charcoal. Then lastly you will need a pair of Talwyd, Oak, Poplar, Ash or whatever type of wood the tongs are made out of. After you have the tongs in hand click on the furnace and craft. Congradulations! You have made your first Lock Parts. Now drop the tongs and hold the Lock parts in your right hand. You should just be able to click on the lock parts and click craft, Provided you have enough Task points left over. You now have a completely assembled lock and Key. You can also hold whatever key you currently have in your left hand while holding the lock parts in the right and clicking craft. The Key will be set to that lock. You can craft dozens of locks and have it to where you only have 1 key for all those locks. It will save you a headache on sorting thru dozens of keys and trying to figure out what key goes where as well as save you room in your pouches.
