4th of Eleasis - Crafting Timeframes

I wanted to post an entry to help those out there decide what (if anything) they want the Dwarves to create for them. If you wish to request something be made, reply to this posting indicating what item(s) you want created and you'll get a response for when the item will be ready.

Here is a simple table outlining basic construction time to build any of these items. All numbers represent days to craft the item. BLACK is if you are not using any Special Materials, GREEN is if you are using Special Materials, and RED is if Tom assists with the Special Materials. Characters will simply need to supply the special material and the Dwarves will create the specified dwarvencraft item. NOTE: For items not crafted using Special Materials these will need to be purchased at the normal going rate. If a rate isn't listed it isn't available

As if to make things more confusing, if any player wishes to assist the Dwarves with the crafting of their items to personalize them they must spend the entire time it takes to craft the item working on it with them.

What do they get in return? Well, the player gets a Family Crest which is attached to the armor (not shields or weapons). This crest may later be made magical (as if it were an amulet), but does not take up an Amulet body slot. Also, players who wish to take this route, must design their Family Crest for all to see. Since this armor is being personalized, selling it will be slightly more difficult. Consequently instead of the normal 50% of the cost, these items can be sold for only 40%. Small price to pay for an extra magic slot though.
