  Don't get too excited about carpentry HLB just yet, it requires a newly added material called Glowing Tough Thread which have not been confirmed on where and how difficult it is to obtain/make them.

  Best update in the entirety of the game's lifetime. True story.
• Balenciaga wrote on 2011-10-13 13:31
  Agreed. Not only destiny and other updates are neat, they are finally adding some really nice convenient features from third-party mods. They should've done this long time ago.

  And yesterday I was mentioning the lack of belmont wear. Oh you KR, oh you...
  Aslo, someone mentioned he would like to see a mammonite-like skill, guess he'll be happy. That +30 luck looks sexy~

  Yeah, with all the recent updates and merchant destiny in particular it feels like range is finally at the same level as other skillsets in terms of effort:damage.
  
  Being able to make x-grade HLBs from carpentry is the last nail in the frustrating, long and stingy dungeon that is Peaca INT... thanks to bohemian set there's no need to hunt for Steel Needle, and now high grade HLBs can be obtained without endlessly farming Ghasts or spending hundreds of dollars on gacha.

  But I have to wonder. Since carpentry doesn't require manual to make bows, the supply of materials needs bit of control otherwise they will pretty much kill all the other bows in game.

  Interesting. When will this reach us?

  It will probably be decently rare, but even if it's the same rarity as getting a bow from Theatre Missions... it'll be a~x-grade and without the need of Peaca INT (hopefully).

  I seriously thought this was a gag update when I saw the 'gold strike' skill.
  But of course I was wrong :P

  Hey balen, don't merchants get increased ducat reward through the trading system?
