Woodworking
Saw logs into the planks that carry every bow, wand and tome.
Introduction quest
The Cheapest Bench in Elynia — Vatia, sawyer at the timber yard. Sawing costs one energy. Everything with a grain in the city starts here.
| Step | Objective | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hear out the sawyer | 0 gold, 4 XP |
| 2 | Fell olive 6 times | 25 gold, 8 XP |
| 3 | Saw 3 Olive Planks | 45 gold, 10 XP |
Finishing the chain pays a further 50 gold and 12 XP. It runs once per character and is claimed from the Quests tab under Trades — see Quests.
The trade from here: At skill 15: beech planks, which is what a bow wants when olive splits.
The chain is the trade's introduction and does not continue. Everything past it opens with skill at the bench, not with another quest.

How much XP a recipe actually gives
As with nodes, the table's Skill XP is the full award and d = skill − skill req. Each recipe row in the game prints the exact number you would earn right now.
| Band | Condition | Skill XP |
|---|---|---|
| Optimal | d < 10 | 100 % |
| Good | d < 20 | 100 % — but the drop is coming |
| Trivial | d ≥ 20 | 25 % |
Recipes have no Capped band: several recipes can share a skill requirement at different costs, so there is no single "best one open to you" to protect.
