Skills and knowledge crafts
Crafting skills in Onward Mud unlock corresponding knowledge crafts tailored to that skill. These knowledge crafts are influenced by a character's race and region of origin, branching out as skill levels increase. Mastery of a craft grants access to rare and elusive knowledge, some of which may be exclusive to experienced individuals or stumbled upon during their adventures.
For example, when faced with a mysterious creature terrorizing the countryside, a seasoned hunter native to the region might possess valuable insights into the nature of the threat. Alternatively, a foreigner skilled in animal husbandry could offer a different perspective.
These knowledge crafts serve as roleplay tools, reflecting a character's unique expertise and experiences in their chosen field. While characters from the same race and region are likely to share similar knowledge, higher skill levels and related skills increase the likelihood of uncovering unique knowledge crafts associated with that skill.
