Step 4: Craft the Item

Once the characters have collected their items, learned the Recipe, and brought all Components to a suitable Workshop, it’s time to make the item!

Creating the item only requires a few hours of diligent work. Set the pace appropriate for the campaign and the part of the narrative: it’s fine for the characters to spend an hour making the item, or a day. An extended period of downtime isn’t necessary: this system makes the characters take an active role collecting the Components, Schematics, and crafting Workshop rather than downtime and gold.
