So I have a ton of recipes as rewards from quests. Can't make a single one, because I have made zero progress with BASIC crafting.
I bought an axe...finally found a piece of wood, and chopped it up for..Firewood. Ok, now I can feed a fire, and maybe, with another tool, make wood blocks. So far, can't make wood blocks.
Have now spent most of my gold buying tools and books that so far, I can't even use. Bought a knife, thinking it would make wood blocks. Nope. Tried to Study with the knife. No luck. Nothing in my inventory could be studied.
Hmm maybe I have to STUDY the item I need to craft...what do I have in my bank...an old dagger, and an old sword. Bought a deconstruction kit. There goes more of my gold. Was able to deconstruct the sword, but did not get anything that I could study with the knife.
So now I am down to about 20k gold, having spent 70k on tools what for the most part, I cant use. This is incredibly galling.
As I said in the title, I must be missing something completely obvious here. Would love a push in the right direction. Thanks!
oh and before I forget, my current character is a human swordsman |
