For those like me who can't read the right side of the formula, it's: ... = crafting time(minutes)
The more points assigned in a skill, the faster your workers will produce items that require that skill. More exactly, the time taken to craft an item is the sum of the contributions from each skill required to craft the item. For example: Your two workers are the Blacksmith and the Carpenter . You distributed their skill points as shown in the table below:
Skill Name | Workers | Total | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Weapon Crafting | 5 | 3 | 8 | |
Metal Working | 6 | NA | 6 | |
Wood Working | NA | 10 | 10 |
A Parrying Dagger requires 16 and 18 . The table below shows that it takes 5 minutes to craft:
Crafting time
in minutes | |||
---|---|---|---|
16 | 8 | 16 / 8 = 2 | |
18 | 6 | 18 / 6 = 3 | |
Total crafting time: | 2 + 3 = 5 |
If your Blacksmith and Carpenter combined had a total of 40 and 24 , the Parrying Dagger would instead take (16 / 40) + (18 / 24) = 2/5 + 3/4 minutes = 69 seconds.
