I opened this thread for random RP-related questions, if anybody else has any.
--
Here is mine: Is it possible that someone could have glasses, if staying true to the setting, or is that too advanced?

Glasses were invented in Italy in the 1400's..... not sure the exact date...
So i would suppose they could be used..

Glasses: So that when he doesn't have them on, he sees even less.
I was hoping a GM could answer it, but thanks for the answer nevertheless.

Intuitively I would have thought that glasses don't quite fit. But since glass is so commonly produced in Illarion, it seems that glasses could be somewhat rationalized, and so I think I've used them in some roleplaying or posts in the past. Long ago I remember even having a brief discussion with Damien about importing more glass to build a giant cone with glass to study the stars. I think I've seen some others uses glasses and telescopes in their stories as well.

Nuh-uh, sorry dear. Some people "push" themselves along, but...I don't think its any faster than walking, really.

Not really an rp related question but: Hold ctrl, click your char's tile and move it to an adjacent tile, this will "push" your char diagonally. There is a several second delay, so best to be clear of any enemies that might kill your char easily such as ogres.

And be aware, that some characters might find it rp-wise not so nice that someone pushes them around.

Ok, What do you do with leather?
I know how to "un-raw" it but nothing after that.
Thanks!

Look through "Where to buy/how to make" sticky thread in general forum first.

I dont know... but it seems to me that you should take the dough into one hand... USE dough with fire...
If this doesn't work, look for a human named Caitlan... she seems to know how to cook bread... [the person is NOT me]

You have to make a spoon and hold it in your hand to cook something, except Pork, That you smoke in a smoke oven to make ham. U have to have one conifer logs and one of the other to make a spoon.. Atleast i think so. Farewell.

I dont think someone (if anyone knows) should answer a question like, "How do I create ItemX?"
This is something I would consider as ingame knowledge.
Now if the question would be "How does smithing work?", one could answer and list possible tools and keyboard/mouse clicks.
