Renaissance Kingdoms: Carpenter guide

The first of a series of RK level 2 guides I am going to post in my blog. Most of them are lost around RK forums, here you can find them easily. NOw, ladies and gentlemen, the Carpenter Guide:

General remarks

• The trade of carpenter is a job for level 2 players.
• The carpenter can make small ladders, large ladders, oars, hulls, shafts, boats, hoes (not implemented yet), unhooped buckets, and blunted axes.
• A carpenter uses wood bushels.
• Before you make a decision, ask your mayor if there aren't to much carpenters already in the town to avoid overproduction.

The trade of carpenter.

1) It's necessary to buy wood bushels from the market.

2) The wood bushels need to be placed in the property inventory

3) You can make the following products in your workshop:

- small ladders (1 wood bushel)
- large ladders (2 small ladders)
- oars (1 wood bushel)
- hulls (3 wood bushel)
- 3 shafts (1 wood bushel)
- boat (You can make one boat from 1 hull and from 2 oars)
- hoes (not implemented yet)
- (You can make one hoe from 1 plowshare and from 3 wood bushels)
- unhooped buckets (1 wood bushel)
- blunted axes (You can make one blunted axe from 1 axe blade and from 1 shaft)

You need to work one day for each item

Prices & profits.

• The average price for wood bushels is £4.

• Although free to choose, the prices must respect a certain degree of honesty so consumer and producer can both benefit. SOme cities also have a price cap law.

• Approximate price calculations for carpentry items are based upon £4 for wood bushels and £26 for one working day.

- small ladders - £4 + £26 = £30

- large ladders - £30 + £30 + £26 =£86
- oars - £4 + £26 = £30
- hulls - £12 + £26 = £38
- 3 shafts - £4 + £26 = £30/3 = £10
- boat - £38 + £30 + £30 + £26 = £124
- hoes (not implemented yet) - (You can make one hoe from 1 plowshare and from 3 wood bushels)
- unhooped buckets - £4 + £26 = £30
- blunted axes (You can make one blunted axe from 1 axe blade and from 1 shaft)
