"You can follow a good carpenter across Britannia by the trail of easels he leaves behind."

Masters of the saw, the plane and the level, carpenters spend long hours Crafting some of the finest furniture and goods of Sosaria.
As your skill improves you may learn special Carpentry Recipes and create Items out of special forms of Lumber. With the proper research, a Grand Master may learn the secrets of Masonry.

Once a player obtains GM they may "mark" any exceptional crafted *weapon* created with his/her name - not furniture. Lady/Lord titles are included in the mark. Carpenter's Crafting in the Britain Crafting Area will also have a chance to create "slayer" weapons. See the Slayer wiki for more details.

Stonework is also available to GM Carpenter's. You go to the Minoc Provisioner "The Survival Shop" and buy a book called "Making Valuables with Stonecrafting" from Kin the stonecrafter for 7969g. You can then purchase mallet and chisel from him to start creating furniture and decorations from Stone! You need a miner to gather you the Granite. Different ore colors are available.

Power Scrolls and Skill Scrolls are available for this skill.


Tools of the Trade

Carpenter's tools come in all shapes and sizes. However, it is less the tool than the skill of the craftsman, and no one tool provides benefits over the others. They can be bought from a Carpenter or Tinker NPC Vendor or crafted using the Tinkering skill.

These tools are: Dovetail Saw, Draw Knife, Froe, Hammer, Inshave, Jointing Plane, Moulding Planes, Nails, Saw, Scorp, Smoothing Plane

Lumber is a basic necessity for any item created using the Carpentry skill. It is gathered by using the Lumberjacking skill.
Wood comes in two varieties: Logs and Boards. Each type of wood requires a certain level of Carpentry or Lumberjacking skill to render from logs into much lighter boards.

65 – 75 Craft same as 50-65, add writing desks for variety
75 – 85 Craft Quarterstaffs with Gnarled for variety (Anytime after 80 Skill Scrolls become cheaper than wood)
85 – 95 Craft Gnarled Staffs mostly (Anytime after 90 Skill Scrolls become much cheaper/faster than wood)
95 – 100 Craft Gnarled Staffs mostly, but try to make easels, beds, or water troughs. ( If you are still doing it the old fashioned way you must hate yourself - buy Skill Scrolls)

You mention creating "Black Staffs" and "Wild Staffs" yet I don't see them in the carpentry menu...

Thats a good point. I think whoever originally wrote this on the old Wiki must have copied it from uo.com or stratics, which is not exactly accurate for UOF as you have found out. I will update it.

So currently working on BSing, and thinking of Carpentry now so planning to get all the required resources as I want to try and power through this.

How many boards are required to GM this? Or at least get to around 85 or 90 and then SS the rest? Seems from the guide things start getting tough around there.

OK, so let's say you were trying to follow this guide but some how a .1 skill scroll got mixed in with your 1 point skills scrolls and you weren't really paying attention so now your at 109.1 carpentry, what do you make to gain the .9 points to get to 110 so you can continue with the plan? I tried making Flutes but after going through over 6k boards no gains.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I would also like to add! For beginners, players will be helpful. The cost of wood in the craft zone Wooden shields - only 7 Boards, if you sell Wooden shields in NPC Carpenter - He pays you 15-18 gp for 1 shield. Price 1 wood for player Vendor - only 1.5 gp piece. That is, the
prime cost of a shield 10.5gp. NPC buy normal shild for 15gp = Ex Shild 18 gp. That is, you not only return the money, but still on this and earn! I think is the good info for new player ))!

Generally this is a bit of a bug - it turns out if you sell shilds the NPC - prime cost 1 Boards = 2,5714 gp! It is more profitable to sell wood (shields) NPCs. Than from a player vendor)))

Board costs 3 gp for NPC
