Carpenter Guides By Fellow Players

Since I didn't see anyone mention it, silver javelins are a good synth when you're transitioning between yew and walnut masks. If you know a BSM or doing BSM around 42+ you could probably crack out silver javelins easier than walnut masks in the low 40s. You can farm ants in the mines for drake scales for glue and cedar logs are cheap as dirt.

The Following is the guide I used to take Carpenter to 30. It includes receipes to 40 for maximum sp if you so choose. Listed in () are the actual rank required to do the synth. You may go over the rank or you can try the receipe 10 rank's before the rank of the receipe. If you are using carpenter main hand make sure to put on vitality jewelry and load in vitality traits.

Carpenter (2) - Luan Lumber - luan lumber X1, wind shard X3

Carpenter (3) - Willow Lumber - willow lumber X1, wind shard X3

Carpenter (5) - Luan Halfmask - luan lumber X1, ice shard X1, wind shard X1

Carpenter (20) - Willow Halfmask - willow lumber X1, wind shard X2, earth shard X2

Carpenter (28) - Pine Skillet Handle - pine lumber X1, wind shard X9

Carpenter (29) - Chestunt Sword Grip - chestnut lumber X1, wind shard X9

Carpenter (30) - Oak halfmask - oak lumber X1, wind shard X3, earth shard X3

Carpenter (32) - Walnut Hatchet Haft - walnut lumber X1, crab oil X1, wind shard X9

Carpenter (40) - Yew Half Mask - yew lumber X1, wind shard X3, earth shard X3

I started making willow half mask at 12 until 23. I did pine skillet handles at 23 for 800sp each. I took pine skillet handles to 30 getting 300 + sp each at 29. It seems everyone likes to do oak half masks. Those gave me less SP and oak is 4 to 8 times more expensive on my server. I tried the chestnut sword grips also good sp.

So... from 32 to 40 should i just focus on
Walnut Hatchet Haft ?

I know this is an old thread, but do anyone have an update list after 1.19 ?

I am level 21 and the dated willow half mask are not that good :/ Only 230 exp.

I tried some willow lumber, gave me about 405 exp, but not sure if it's the best options (need a lot of logs!)

I'm in the same boat. Please post if you have any info.

Pine Logs into Pine lumbers are working well. About 450 exp each, and after you have lumbers to make the skillet handles.

But they require 9 wind shars for each!



Still trying to find a cheaper option.

I just did 27-28 on oak lumber. About 550-575 per synth and barely botch any. Plus the oak logs are fairly cheap (~1k a piece on my server). I figure they will be good til about 30 or so.
