Stone crafter is the skill associated with the stonecrafting Template:L. Stonecrafters make Template:L Template:L Template:L, such as mugs, crafts, Template:Ls, and Template:Ls as well as Template:Ls at a Template:L. On maps with an Template:L layer, embarking with a Proficient stonecrafter can produce more valuable Template:L trade goods for your early exchanges with the Template:Ls and also provide short swords for your military and any weapon traps you choose to build.
Because stone exists in abundance and is rather a nuisance than a valuable resource in most fortresses, turning some unemployed dwarfs into stonecrafters and have them creating rock goods is a good way to get rid of some stone while also creating some value and providing some jobs when the Template:L becomes active. See Template:L for other ways to control your stone production.
Notes
- Rock Short Swords in 2010 work differently from prior versions. Many stones can be used to make 'Rock Short Swords', but the end result seems to only be a wooden short sword of higher quality than what would be expected for the craftsdwarf's skill.
- Skilled stone crafters can produce up to 3 objects at a time from a single stone.
