Carpenter Life Information
Carpenter Details
| Life Information | |
|---|---|
 Carpenter
|
Type: Crafting |
| Tool: Saw | |
| Master: Daiku | |
| Chairs, tables, homes, and castles; with a saw and some timber, you could build just about anything. | |
Create Weapons, Tools, and Furniture
Carpenters use their workbench to turn wood into items, such as weapons, tools, or even furniture for your home. This means that it's also heavily tied to the Woodcutter Life since that's the primary method of getting wood.

Skill Tree Overview

Skill Upgrade Priority
| Improve Ability = Remake > Auto Complete Actions > Extra Materials |
Prioritize the Improve Ability and Remake Skills
Improve Ability will make it so that every time you craft, you can get better products and also can also produce more consumables. Remake will then let you reroll for Equipment Skills.
Unlock Improv and Auto Complete Only When you Have Points to Burn
Despite the need to not use items, Improv Crafting is too gimmicky and is only good mid to late game. Meanwhile Auto Complete, while convenient, will not give you improved items and will not give you more items as you would with crafting regularly.
Stat Upgrade Priority
| Time Bonus > Crafting Stat Bonus > Exp Bonus |
Get the Time Bonus Panels First
Get the Time-Limit Boost Panels as it will make it easier to get better quality items since it can take a while before you can get Buddies that have the Carpenter Life.
Mini-Game Upgrade Priority
| Hold > Tap |
Always Prioritize Spin or Hold Upgrades
Prioritize the Hold Panels as it will always waste time since you can always tap faster. Make sure to get these panels first before Tap.

Fill the Completion Bar Within the Set Number of Moves
The goal of the Crafting minigame is simple: Complete the sequence of actions shown at the top of the screen and fill the Completion Bar within the specified number of moves.
The quality of the item will be based on how fast you filled the Completion Bar—the less moves it took to finish the item, the better the quality.
On the other hand, running out of moves will fail the crafting process and you will lose the crafting materials used. Make sure to at least meet the recommended Crafting Skill to improve your chances of completing the item!
Follow the Prompts
 Tap |
 Mash |
 Hold |
 Spin |
There are four different actions with corresponding icon shapes that can appear on the sequences: tap, mash, hold, and spin. You must complete each sequence by doing the correct action on the correct station as fast as you can until you fill the Completion Bar or you run out of moves.
Incorrect inputs will disable any action for a short while, which delays the sequence and possibly lowers the highest possible rating that you can get!
Completion Difficulty is Relative to Crafting Skill
The rate of which the Completion Bar is filled for every sequence that you complete depends on the Recommended Crafting Skill of the item.
Having a much lower value of the corresponding Crafting Skill than what is recommended will make it more difficult to fill the Completion Bar even if you get an Excellent rating on all sequences.
Increase your Crafting Skill by equipping a better Tool or leveling up and unlocking panels on the Skill Board!
Equip and Train Buddies for a Buff
If you want to craft a certain piece but your stats alone can't cut it, make sure to equip and train the converted Strangelings to help you out. Make sure they also have Tools equipped to bump up their respective Crafting stat.
Use Gathering Lives to Save Dosh
To save up on Dosh, use your Gathering lives to get all if not most of the ingredients you need to create the item you need. If you do have to spend, just get the raw materials instead and just craft up from there to get more worth from your Dosh.
