How to Win the Handicraft Contest
Present Equipment and Accessories
To enter the Handicraft Contest, choose a piece of equipment or an accessory as an entry for the contest. It doesn't matter if it's a weapon, or some type of armor, any type of equipment is okay.
Submit Handmade Equipment for a Higher Score
As the name of contest implies, it is better to submit equipment or accessories that you have made yourself. A very rare and expensive item that you bought or found can still lose to a lower-tier handmade item.
Getting a High Score
The overall score that you receive for the item submitted is based on four factors.
| Handmade Recipe | Your overall score will receive an extra 200 points if you item was crafted by you. Lower quality items that are handmade will often score higher than bought or found items that are higher and quality. |
|---|---|
| Item Skill Level | The Crafting Skill level required to create the item that you submit will be multiplied by 3 and added to your total score. |
| Material | The Level of Materials used in the creation of the item will to multiplied by 4 and added to your score. |
| Enhancement | You will add 8 points to your overall score for every enhancement you add to your item when crafting it. |
Recommended Contest to Enter in the First Year
