Item Maker Skill is a special skill used to forge equipments. One may ask, if we can hunt for weapons, why forge it if its ingredients are hard to obtain? The answer is: Item Maker Skill allows you to enhance the equipment by using Enhancers. Before we explain about Enhancers, let us go straight to the point about the basics of Item Maker Skill.

Item Maker Skill is gained from a quest in Magatia from NPC Meren in Magatia Weapon and Armour Store. It has 3 levels in total. For partially released Maker Skill in some versions, Maker Skill can only be leveled up to 1. In other versions, one can complete more quests from Meren and gain Level 2 and Level 3 of Maker Skill. The level advantages are as follows.


*Level 1 Maker Skill: Ability to make equipments up to Lvl 85
At level 30, a player reveals 5 traits, which are Diligence, Ambition, Charm, Empathy and Insight. Each trait has a maximum level of 100. Each 5 levels, a trait will reveal an effect on the player. The player could have less death experience penalty, more maximum MP, more quest experience and many more. Diligence can be gotten for staying in-game for at least an hour, Ambition from boss monsters, Charm from fame, Empathy from harvesting herbs, and Insight from mining. But, there are also other ways to get traits to level up, such as useable items, Party Quests and also Quests.
*Level 2 Maker Skill: Ability to make equipments up to Lvl 105
*Level 3 Maker Skill: Ability to make equipments up to Lvl 135


Maker Skill forges Hats, Overalls, Tops, Bottoms, Shoes, Shields, Weapons, as well as Monster Crystals and Enhancers. The type of equipment you can forge depends on your character's Job. For example, if you are a Bishop, you can forge only Magician equipments. Monster Crystals are forged from any monster's ETC drop, except of monsters under Lvl 35. The quality of the crystal is based on the monster's Lvl, which means, Basic Monster Crystals can be forged from low-leveled monsters, Intermediate Monster Crystals can be forged from middle-leveled monsters and Advanced Monster Crystals can be forged from high-leveled monsters. Monster Crystals are the basic and a must as "ingredients" for your equipment, together with Magic Powders, which come in Brown, Yellow, Blue, Green, Red, White, Purple and Black, which are rare drops from all monsters. Enhancers can be forged from Gems, for example, Topaz, Diamond or even Black Crystals. A Basic Topaz, which adds +10HP to a forged equipment. With 10 Basic Topaz, an Intermediate Topaz, which adds +20HP, can be made. Similarly, with 10 Intermediate Topaz, an Advanced Topaz, the highest quality, can be made, and adds +30HP. Most equipments can be enhanced with a maximum of 2 Enhancers. Picture 2 shows the interface for Item Maker Skill.
The player can learn up to two professions. There are only 3 combinations available : Herbalism + Alchemy, Mining + Smithing or Mining + Accessory Crafting. Each profession has a maximum level of 10. There is also a fatigue system where each character gains a fatigue point when mining, harvesting, making potions or making equipments. When fatigue reaches 200 (or 100 for EuropeMS currently), the character cannot harvest/mine/craft/make anything. When one hour passes, the fatigue drops by 5. To fasten the process, players can buy a drink, but it comes with a price (especially in MSEA).
