Classes with one of the “Teacher” attributes are able to teach other characters how to craft items that the teacher has the relevant Knowledge cards for. The teacher must contribute 25% of the research WP cost of the item, rounded up, and the student must contribute another 25% of the research WP cost, rounded up, as well as the entire material cost.
Upon completion the student will receive:
- A knowledge lammie for the item.
- One item lammie for the item you have just learnt (item lammies must be attached to player provided physreps at all times where appropriate).
Please note that Vrede-Tech cannot normally be taught to non-Vrede.
Blueprints and Formulae
Blueprints and Formulae act as a way of teaching knowledge for Engineering or Medicae items. They are created by Researchers when a Research project is completed. Additional Blueprints/Formulae can be created by anyone with Knowledge of the item, at 50% of the research WP cost of the item. No materials are required for this process. Anyone with the Engineering/Medicae skill can learn from Blueprints/Formulae respectively.
To learn how to craft an item from a set of Blueprints/Formulae, you must pay:
- 75% of the research WP cost of the item.
- The entire material cost of the item.
Upon completion, you will receive:
- A Knowledge lammies for the item.
- One item lammie for the item you have just learnt (item lammies must be attached to player provided physreps at all times where appropriate).
Blueprints and Formulae are multi-use items, and must be attached to a player-provided physrep. As items, they have a maintenance cost, and if not maintained accordingly, the item will be destroyed IC. For example, paper tears and ink fades, and digital data becomes corrupted.
The maintenance period for Blueprints and Formulae will be double the maintenance period of the item that the blueprint or formula relates to, and they do not have a material maintenance cost. For example, if a researched item requires maintenance every year, its corresponding Blueprint/ Formulae will require maintenance every two years.
To maintain a Blueprint or Formulae you must have researched or learned it first, as maintenance requires comprehensive understanding of the item. The maintenance cost for all Blueprints and Formulae is 1 Work Point.
