Item Tinkering
Item Tinkering allows a player to modify various facets of an item. Originally, those facets were burden, value, and mana capacity. This skill follows the footsteps of Alchemy, Cooking, Fletching and Lockpick and is based off of the Focus and Coordination attributes. Item Tinkering costs 2 skill credits, while all other tinkering skills cost 4. You cannot specialize this skill. Once you have salvaged 100 units, you are ready to modify an item.
The four possible modifications for Item Tinkering are"
- Reduce burden.
- Increase value.
- Decrease value.
- Increase maximum mana.
During the "Swelling Tide" event, several new tinkering skills were added to the Item Tinkerer's repertoire. These skills deal primarily with item requirements: Race, Skills, and Rank. For the tinkering that changes Skill requirements, they swap the skill requirements—Melee Defense becomes Missile Defense, or vice versa—and also change the level of the requirement to account for the differences in the skills' attribute formulas. When removing the rank requirement, the Arcane Lore difficulty of the item becomes equal to the item's Spellcraft.
