Crafting Guides: Handicraft I

Originally written by and produced by MTC and her leaders.

Introduction

Handicraft has always been one of my favourite crafting skills, because of its versatility. It can be coupled with other major crafting skills such as Cooking and Casting and significantly shorten the time to level the other two skills. It can also be complemented with skills such as Procurement and Collection, and therefore turning trash items such as Grass, Sand and Stone into highly valuable commodity.
Handicraft can be used to make trade goods such as alcohol, as well as make Gems from ore collected in Landing areas. It is also responsible for making all furniture throughout the game, and can add valuable boosts to your ship by building Head Pieces and Wooden Armours
Because Handicraft is such a versatile, each nation will have its advantages and disadvantages. Spanish players and Portuguese players will have easy access to, Wheat, Barley, Olives, Cane, Almond, and Wine, French players will have the Bordeaux to Nantes trade route as well as access to the Brewing Secrets Volume 2 from Montpellier, and Dutch and English players will have the raw materials of Lumber and other metal ore and Industrial goods from the North Sea.

FOE in Gaming Cosplay

Cosplay (コスプレ, kosupure?), short for "costume play",is a type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Characters are often drawn from popular fiction in Japan. Favorite sources include manga, anime, tokusatsu, comic books, graphic novels, video games, hentai and fantasy movies. Role play includes portrayals of J-pop and J-rock stars, Taiwanese puppet characters, science fiction characters, characters from musical stories, classic novels, and entertainment software. Any entity from the real or virtual world that lends itself to dramatic interpretation may be taken up as a subject. Inanimate objects are given anthropomorphic forms and it is not unusual to see genders switched, with women playing male roles and vice versa.

Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture centered around role play. A broader use of the term cosplay applies it to any costumed role play in venues apart from the stage, regardless of the cultural context.

Take note, cosplayers are not mascots!

There are lots of cosplayer nowadays but only a few them cosplay just for hobby. It doesn't matter if you don't really look like the character you are portraying as long as you are having fun with what you are doing that's what matters most. Plus add the factor that you really made your own costume. ^_~

Just be yourself!

I got some pics from the net, we may find it fun though looking at them cosplaying those anime but hey its a hobby and they really have that spirit to face the world that they too can do it. 

Language Guide in UWO

Source: Great Voyage Online wiki sites

Uncharted Waters Online is an online game wherein you play in the Age of Discovery/Exploration period of Planet Earth (15th to 17th Century), where you are one of the Captain on voyage trying to open new trade routes, discover new exciting places, and the mapping of the planet. Of course, before you can have a conversation and establish a good trade with the peoples of the world, you need to learn their languages.

Learning a new language is simple, just visit any city and talk to the lords and ladies of any ‘houses’. As a clue, the names of these houses end up with the word ‘Estate’. Additionally, guild houses (Adventurer Guild, Maritime Guild, and Merchant/Trader Guild) also offer languages.

Crafting Guide: Cooking

This guide is made possible by the MTC Company.

Introduction
Cooking has always been on of my favourite crafting skills in UWO. On my old server i made hundreds of millions selling items such as Seafood Pizza and Garlic Chicken and the best thing about cooking is that there will always be a demand, regardless of where the server is at. Each guild requires a good cook or two, and if you are interested in pursuing this path here is a simple guide.

Legendary heroes of the past are called upon to the modern world to participate in the Holy Grail war to fulfill one’s wish. One lad by the name of Shirou Emiya was drawn to the Holy Grail war and has summoned the most fearsome female servant known as Saber.

5th Lesson: Concerning Ship Parts (UWO)

Ship parts are your ship's version of equipment. Just as different equipment is worn on different parts of the body, different areas of the ship that can be outfitted with certain parts. There are six types of ship parts: studding sails, cannons, extra armour, special equipment, figureheads, and crests. In this shipyard, you can buy studding sails, cannons, extra armouring, and special equipment. But the experts here will be able to explain it better than I. Would you mind?

4th Lesson: Concerning Equipment (UWO)

CONCERNING EQUIPMENT

The various type of equipment and the roles they play.

You can wear Equipment in six places: head, body, hands and feet, as well as a held item and an accessory. Your equipped 

items will affect your appearance, as well as your defence, attack power and other statistics. Different items are equipable based on Gender or Job. Some items cannot be equipped until you have sufficient Fame. Two important attributes affected by equipment are Formailty and Disguise level. Formality represents the quality of your appearance. Your appearance is important in making a good first impression. Some people will refuse to talk to you unless you habe enough Formality. Your disguise level is important when entering Islamic cities. People who live in Islamic lands wear different dress than we do. But you don't have to worry about that around this area.

Equipment is found in item shops.

You will notice that different types of equipment have different appearances and effects. Tailor's tools can be used to change the colour of clothing and other equipment. Item shops in different towns keep different equipment in stock. When you visit a new town, be sure to see what equipment the item store carries.
