Changing How to Obtain Large Nails
Not sure if this has been a pain in the butt for some players, but I feel like there has to be much better ways of getting certain materials and items, such as Apples and Large Nails, and in particular nails. Apples I feel only drop maybe... 1 every 30 punches...? Nails I can be super lucky and get one after one or two punches, but most of the time, I am sitting there punching signs for over 3 minutes and only end up with one nail. Ouch, right?
As someone who makes her own bows en masse for Spirit Weapon repairs and casual usage, not to mention ranking/mastering Handicraft, this can be more than just a chore since you're hitting signs almost non-stop for maybe one stack in half an hour.
I noticed that the different grades of Bolt and Arrowheads are now being sold by Nerys, which were previously exclusive to having player blacksmiths make them for other players. It would be great if Large Nails were either buyable from crafting NPCs, or at least have a manual for them for smiths since it only makes sense, right? Because every time I see my character punching a sign, I feel like her hand is going to be covered in splinters and unable to hold a bow for a few months... *Shudders*

You should be able to get about a stack per minute, if not more.
And it's been about 3 years since I ran Ciar. Think I might drop by in there... Was it Ciar Normal or Basic? Because I was told dungeons were revamped and some mobs don't appear in what was considered norm for them in the past.
I can buy all those items irl easily but in mabi is just stupid.
@Sheena While it is true that those items are easily available today in a store, in the time frame that Mabinogi is supposed to be set they were valuable items. In the case of nails in particular it was commonplace when moving to burn down the house to salvage the nails.
Wood planks were common, but wood boards of any size and straightness were coveted items, and were a sign of craftsmanship.
I'm not sure as far as apples, they seem like they should be a staple, but I think they were hard to find of good quality in.
Flour would not have been a mass produced good, and wouldn't last to the same degree that it does today.
From a history standpoint, not having these objects in the store would make sense. However, I haven't seen any evidence to support Celtic mopeds, so this is probably a moot point.
so Falcondae which server are you on anyways?
Even if thats true, I dont think someone needs:
Firewood × 5
Large Nail × 5
Iron Bar × 2
Tough String × 2
To make a wood board, It should be only wood and either the Handicraft Kit or the Woodworking Plane
And if Nails stacked even more.
Flour could use some stacking too....
Come to think of it, higher stack count for nails sounds more appropriate. I mean, you don't exactly buy a few nails when you go to the hardware store; even the finishing ones come in packets of 25 or so, unless it's one of those super fancy, plated nails that sell for like $2 per unit X_x;;;
And flour either needs to be stacked or made smaller. And maybe make the milling success rate higher too. Hate running back and forth between the wheat fields and mill because of a fail...
