Reinforced Wooden Shield

Less wood and cloth than the plain shield, plus one road sign and a blueprint. The calculator leads with cloth, but the sign is the real price here.

About this craft

Next to the plain wooden shield, this recipe reads backwards: less wood and half the cloth. The real cost sits in the one line the calculator counts as is. A road sign can't be crafted before a Level 3 bench, so at Level 1 every reinforced shield is a sign from a roadside barrel, plus a blueprint the plain shield never asks for, since everyone knows that one from the start.

That makes it a craft for one situation: a Level 1 base, spare signs in the box, and someone in the group who goes out farming with a one-handed tool. If signs are short, save them for a road sign kilt once Level 2 stands.

Tip

Keep a spare shield rather than scrapping it. The recycler gives back half the wood and cloth, but the sign only on a coin flip.
