===== Resource Tiers =====
Resources come in several quality tiers:

^ ^^  Mining  ^^  Lumberjacking  ^^  Skinning  ^^

===== What Influences Crafted Items? =====

Three main factors determine the magical properties of your crafted items:

  * **Your Luck**: Higher luck gives you better chances for good properties (uses 0-50% of your total luck stat)
  * **Tool Quality**: The resource your crafting tool is made from (hammer, sewing kit, etc.)
  * **Material Quality**: The resource you're using to craft the item

==== How Much Does Each Factor Matter? ====

Different properties are influenced differently:

  * **Durability** (how long it lasts): **Only your Luck matters**
  * **Damage/Protection/Tuning**: **Material is most important (80%)**, tool helps a bit (20%), plus luck
  * **Accuracy on Combat Weapons**: **Only your Luck matters**
  * **Accuracy on Gathering Tools**: **Tool is most important (80%)**, material helps a bit (20%), plus luck
