Getting Instructions
Crafting Instructions are created by someone spending time to create them by going to a crafters examining desk and placing an item inside to study it. (remember to pick the item up after offtime started)
The Offtime activity will then be set to study the item on close of the inventory. The studying takes 1/5 the item creation time+1 day for each creation DC above 10.
Once you have the instructions, you can then make copies at the copy intructions desk. Placing the instruction in the Instruction copying desk, you can then create more copies of the instruction in 1/4 the orginal study time. (remember to pick the item up after offtime started)
Doing the crafting
Find a empty workbench, place the instruction and the appropriate materials inside the workbench. On closing the workbench the materials are removed and you should pick up your instructions. Your Offtime activity will be set to craft that item.
The next time you log in, you are told the results.
If the required time has not passed, you are told how much is left.
If the time has passed, the skill roll is rolled. On success you create the item. On failure by 5 or less you can retry by spending further half the materials and time. on failure by 6 or more the materials and effort are lost.
