Surprisingly, very seldome...
Shandariel is an archer and a carpenter...and honestly, I buy my arrows and don't make them myself. the reason? The amount of arrows needed to raise your skill even the slightest or to defeat a single target is that high that you spend forever at making the arrows. You need thousand and thousand of arrows to get better in archery, and to make those arrows you need alot of time and effort. If you combine the time and effort needed to gather the materials needed to craft those arrows, the time of making them and the time you need to go hunting with them against dangerous creatures you will have very few time left for roleplay, especially when you have just few hours a week for playing.
It is a bit frustrating
Thats why some archers prefer to buy the arrows even if they are carpenters themself. Atleast for practice purposes

You can help creating 3D models or 2D graphics, as described here? http://illarion.org/development/us_graphics.php
If so, please contact either martin (martin@illarion.org) or Nitram (Nitram@illarion.org) if you really want to help. And are able to.
On special races: There are 2 gnomes, 4 faeries and 0 goblins. That means: For 6 players, we'd have to create 6 3D models with 576 graphics each - I am not even talking about paperdolling. 6 races should be enough.
@Rincewind: No idea about arrows, but distance weapons will become much more useful in future.

Um den ganzen Spekulationen zum Update mal Einhalt zu gebieten, wäre es vielleicht nicht verkehrt so ne Art Pressemitteilung herauszugeben, wie weit ihr schon seid. Ist ja nicht so das irgendwer ((naja, der ein oder andere vielleicht schon)) den Staff unter Druck setzen will, es freuen sich nur alle schon den Arsch ab in Vorraussicht auf des Update.
Und wenn Ihr uns dann, wie die großen netten Onkels und Tanten, ein paar Geheimnisse dazu verratet wird das Warten vielleicht erträglicher.
Herzlichen Dank

As far as I understand the vast majority of the technical upgrades are already complete.
However the content. Which makes up the bulk of the VBU is struggling.
Things like maps, NPC's and quests. Which, while not technically difficult, still take time.
This is the reason why there are so many pleas for assistance in these areas.
Think along the lines of Illarion 2.0 rather than VBU.
Please Note also that during the summer most of us don't have school so we can work more on the VBU. As zaxx said, a good part of the technical part is done. The crafting system has been done for the past 3-4 months, Dronrul (and the other mappers) have produced dungeons which are a work of art. The client should be well on its well to be done...
But most of the missing stuff is CONTENT. Simple NPCs and stuff.
So if you want it to get done faster...

*puts a check on his checklist*Therefore, help of new content developers is badly needed.
Thankfully, after some avid searching we found some extra hands. Not to say people throwing cute, awesome or eloquent NPCs at us is a luxury we could do without, no seriously, please do, but we should be on our way.
