Inkmilling

Revision as of 07:19, 27 January 2016 by Madelyne (talk | contribs) (linking to reagents where appropriate)

Inkmilling is one of the many trade skills available to adventurers in Achaea. It allows you to create your own inks, as well as increase the speed of inking tattoos, create custom-dyed letters and posters, create warpaint, and more!

Inkmilling requires a mill, and various reagents. For example, if one was to mill for a red ink, the reagents are one red reagent and one common reagent. You would put a piece of red clay (or a sliver of red chitin), and a fish scale into your mill and MILL FOR RED.

Mills are available for purchase from various player-owned shops, as well as from Jingo in Delos.
