Skill and items specifics
Items’ quality may change when crafted. You will receive a message in this case. The name of the item will be changed to Exceptional or Perfect, Legendary.
Use the free Perk function to see detailed information. Help menu – Perks – Medium.
Item reparation: when a hammer is used on a wooden item, it can be fixed. The cost of it can be different either in logs or gold.
If an item was made by a Crafted, the type of logs that were used during the craft will be spent too.
Logs have their own elemental protection, a certain amount of which is transferred to the item being created. The amount of Elemental protection mostly depends on the item itself. For example, weapons with magical properties will provide additional magical damage.
If a shield is crafted from wood, an element protection will be applied too.

Ways of leveling your skill
Learn the skill from a Logger NPC with the “Vendor Train” command or left-click on an NPC to select skill training.
Crafted items can be disassembled back into logs with Chisel. Use the Chisel on the Wood Worker Table and on the item you want to disassemble.
Craft items that require fewer ingots and have a bigger chance of success. Use the simplest logs as long as possible to save resources.
