  This guide is obsolete as of today's metalware update.
  Lazy people can just do a little bit of metalware upgrading to bypass the godly bow making.
  Same with refine for failing refining.

  
  
  
  Even so im told it reduces the count by proportion to the xp gain.

  I used 15 kits and got 2 level 2 exp enhancements, 3 level 1 exp, and 6 carpentry [] [] [] things.
  
  I wonder if I'm lucky or if you're just unlucky.

  
  
  And i got lv 2 xp in one handicraft kit on the 1st try, i know. Im just being realistic, metalware might give you only lv 1s. Actually i spammed over 120 since i wanted to get this

  Nice guide, but I'm a little confused about the metalware discussion. So should we be reforging woodworking planes? Or both? Also, what do the metalware upgrades actually do for carpentry?

  They add magical extra experience that is unaccounted for in counts.
  
  For example, you get Level 2 woodworking plane... that gives you 20% magical extra experience for every count of every requirement you make.
  
  This means, for example, if a rank is like:
  1. Super easy make X Firewood requirement - 85.00
  2. Super hard make GODLY OMGBBQ BOWS requirement - 15.00
  
  If you complete the first requirement while equipped with a level 2 EXP woodworking plane, you will receive 20% magical exp (17 extra points).
  
  85.00 points (original) + 17.00 points (magical metalwear exp) = 102.00 points, which is enough to rank.
  
  In other words, you can skip the hard stuff!
  
  This is mostly from what I've tested, as far as I can tell you do not get additional counts when you get enough magical extra experience that equals to an extra count... therefore if a skill rank has 100 points in total, you should be able to get 120 points with a level 2 exp metal toolkit.

  On Nexon's announcement and the wiki table, only "Carpentry Item Crafting Time Reduction" is listed for Carpentry, but from Cheerio's image other ones are obviously possible.
  
  Anyone know what that untranslated one is? Or is it craft time reduction?

  ^ increase in output quality. Makes you get less npc grade bows and more fine grade

  ^ decrease in bow creation speed. If you did any bow you should know each bow takes around 30 secs to make, this makes it faster

  ^ this one is obvious

  Oh I see. Thanks.
  
  Do you happen to know about the Gathering Axe ones as well?
• Cheerios wrote on 2011-11-18 09:56
  you only get the typical gathering speed increase i think. Plus its too expensive to spam these for metalware
• Zeah wrote on 2011-11-18 09:59
  I tried it a min ago, got "Gathering Speed 2 Level" and "Quantity Collection 1 Level" on different axes. I'm not sure how much time it reduces or the % of getting extra wood though. Didn't seem like a large enough difference. Then again, I only chopped about 5 wood with the Quantity Collection one.

  isn't it game-breaking >< they could have removed the hard stuff then, no one will do it now anyway

  Suggestion for Lucky es sequence: Norman Norman Helmet
  
  Also if you're lucky you can just use an Advantage from goblin bandits.
  
  There are actually a few leather clothes, aren't there?

  Just wondering, but where do you all repair your Lumber Axe? I like to run to Dugald Housing for a quick 90%. I haven't bothered upgrading and I haven't gotten a good reforge yet, so meh.
  
  Love the guide.

  I dont even bother with repairing tbh. The luck I can get with putting es on a lumber axe isn't worth it to me. When my axe is at 0 dura I sell it and buy a new one, letting me get back to chopping wood faster. :thumb:
  Well that was after I reached r5 carp cause once you hit that no carpentry reforge can help you on the axe, since chopping finewood or average doesnt give exp anymore to the skill.
