Trade Skills

Gathering resources and crafting items is one of the elemental parts of game play on Ogre Island. It is an excellent way to make money or to provide yourself with good gear. The following Trade Skills are available in the game:
Resources Gathering Skills Crafting Skills
Ore Mining Armour smith
Weapon smith
Tool smith
Wood Lumberjack Bowyer
Wandlore
Wool Shearing Tailor
Hide Skinning Leather smith
Fish - Fishing


The following Trade Skills are not active yet, but already have items in the game in anticipation:

General information
You get a first gathering skill slot at level 10 and second at level 25.
You get a first crafting skill slot at level 15 and a second at level 30.
This means a character at the moment can have a maximum of 4 tradeskills, 2 gathering and 2 crafting skills.
You can buy the Trade Skills from NPCs. Each Trade Skill costs 7 silver 50 copper.
If you want to reorganize Trade Skills amongst you characters maybe at some point you might want to remove a skill. You can do that with the following command:

/REMOVETRADESKILL SkillName

eg.: /REMOVETRADESKILL WeaponSmith

Once a skill is removed there is no way to restore it other than buying it a second time.

Trade Skill Tools
Each skill needs a specific tool that has to be wielded in the right hand slot. Most skills will allow you to change to wielding the tool automatically when you start the action. All skills will allow you to change back to your weapons automatically in case you are using it in an area that has monsters that will attack you.

As an example the following images show the setup for a character with both the mining skill and a smithing skill:


You can buy the tools from the NPCs or from players that have the Tool Smith Trade Skill.

Resource and Item Quantity & Quality
The qualities are the same for both resources and crafted items:
  • Inferior
  • Crude
  • Shoddy
  • Ordinary
  • Good (+2)
  • Excellent (+4)
  • Superior (+6)
  • Flawless (+9)
The Gathering Trade Skills are divided in 2 groups. The first group gives more resources with higher level. The quality of the resource is always the same at a certain level:
  • Mining
  • Lumberjack

The second group has a chance of getting any quality of resource at any level, and the chance of getting better quality improves over time.
  • Skinning
  • Shearing
  • Fishing
Each Gathering Trade Skill will have a chance on 2 resources starting at level 20 and 3 resources at level 30. The quality and enchantment of the tool you use does not have any effect on gathering resources.

The quality of the items made with the Crafting Trade Skills depend on your Trade Skill level and the enhancement of your tool. When you start crafting text will appear in the battle text to inform you about the numbers that influence your ability to create quality items.
The total item crafting points are calculated by adding the quality bonus and the enhancement:


Example messages for a level 14 tradeskill:
*Wielding an Ordinary tool:
Level crafting points: 3
Item crafting points: 0
Total crafting points: 3


*Wielding a +9 Excellent tool:
Level crafting points: 3
Item crafting points: 13 (9 + 4)
Crafting points maxed by trade level
Total crafting points: 14


As you can see in the second message, the total of crafting points can not be more than you Trade Skill level.
The maximum enhancement of the items you create is half of the Total crafting points rounded down. In the first example it would be +1 and in the second example +7. There is no exact rule for determining your chance on making a certain item quality. By experience a level 14 tradeskill can make Excellent and somewhere around level 18 you can make Superior. For Flawless items you will have to have level 24 and even then chances are low.
Click on the following to see a more detailed Tradeskill Progression Table.

Leveling Trade Skills
The Trade Skills follow the same experience progression as normal Character Levels. Check the Ogre Island XP chart for the XP of each level. Once you have bought a Trade Skill it will also appear on the "Trades" section of the Character Tab:


Another way of checking your current xp level is typing the /showexp command in the chat box. It will list the xp of all your Trade Skills:

* Lumberjack - lvl: 16 Exp: 199420
* Wand Lore - lvl: 14 Exp: 145015
* Bowyer - lvl: 14 Exp: 126645

Gaining XP and improve your level is different for each Gathering Trade Skill and will be explained in the details section of each skill. The Crafting Trade Skills all have the same way of getting xp so it will be explained here.

Once you have clicked the "Start Crafting" button your character will start crafting and use resources. For each resource used you will get 25xp. Better items use up more resources and apart from the 25xp for each resource will give you a bonus xp for each item that has Ordinary Quality or better:

Ordinary60xp
Good70xp
Excellent80xp
Superior90xp
Flawless 100xp


Enchanting Items
The following Crafting Trade Skills allow you to create enchanted items:
  • Armour Smith
  • Weapon Smith
  • Tool Smith
  • Tailor
  • Bowyer
  • Wandlore
  • Leather Smith
Creating an enchanted item follows the same steps for all these skills and is explained here creating enchanted Legs with Armour Smith:

First you will need to buy Jewelry Sockets from Sly the Gem Man:


When crafting your item you select the item and the resource and then pick up the stack of Jewelry Sockets from you inventory and click on a slot at the bottom right of the crafting window where it says "Sockets". You can make items with either 1, 2 or 3 slots.


Depending on your skill level and luck you will make a more or less useful item.


Once you created the item you need to prepare gems to actually enchant the item. To do so you need to have the proper gems fragments in your inventory to make the gem. The following combinations are possible at the moment:
  • Ruby x3 + Emerald x3 : Titans (STR)
  • Ruby x3 + Sapphire x3 : Camel (END)
  • Diamond x3 + Ruby x3 : Weasel (DEX)
  • Diamond x3 + Sapphire x3 : Leopard (QIK)
  • Emerald x3 + Sapphire x3 : Sage (INT)
  • Emerald x3 + Diamond x3 : Mage (MAG)
Go to the Jeweler and click on the top button:


Place the gem fragments according to the combination for the gem you want to make:



After clicking Apply a gem will appear in your inventory and 3 fragments will be discounted from each stack of fragments:


Now, with both a slotted item and one or more gems created, you proceed to the last step, enchanting the item. Once again you do this at the Jeweler, this time clicking the bottom button:


Put the slotted item in the box:


The window opens up allowing you put in gems according to the slots the item has. You don't have to fill all slots right away. You can repeat later if you can't decide on which other enchantments to use or if you simply don't have enough fragments to create the gems needed.



An item with 1 enchantment will read like this:


An item with 3 enchantments will read like this:
