Carpentry is one of the Production skills in HKO. There are various crafting-guides for carpentry which can be learned in order to create components, paint and furniture. You will have to start doing some carpentry by producing paint and later on furniture in Paris. Some kinds of paint can be bought at Material Merchants, the biggest selection can be found in Beijing at the present.
What's Carpentry for in HKO?
You will need to produce some furniture to complete quests in Hello Kitty Online, the most important one being the "noise machine" called "pink cat eared radio". You will get some more furniture-quests after saving Hello Kitty, but those quests are purely optional. Some (but not all) of the furniture that you will produce for quests will stay in your inventory afterwards so you can use it in your house.
On the other hand there are also lots of optional guides for furniture available in Beijing (at the Farm Market). They can be produced to make your house/room look nicer or to give to your friends for their houses. Note that carpentry often also needs wood from plants you can only grow in your garden!
There are not so many pieces of carpentry-guides ingame at the present in August 2010:
- paint and other components
- furniture
- some special guides might also be available at event-times only for a week or so once a year each
Components:
All of the furniture you can produce by crafting will also need components (materials) you will have to craft first. You can also buy lots of components and some raw materials needed at Material Merchants. The merchant in Beijing has most of them, he also sells clay & dry mud.
