I dont think they have any use, will have to be confirmed but when I GMed carpentry I just trashed them.
On the carpentry subject. It suggests wooden shields at 60. Real skill is currently 50, not real is at 60. Too early to switch?
What are you confused about? I'm willing to buy a new player's junk if it'll get him some start up gold while earning it and gaining skill.
Would've sold them to you, but I didn't see your response in time. I switched to wooden shields at 50 real and that's been working well, and syllable.
