Citizens of Port Katherine,
Because I have received several inquiries about the basic schematics which the Guild of Engineers can provide, I am posting a complete list of known basic schematics for your perusal, along with the time and resources needed to make them. The complete list of known intermediate schematics has been posted separately.
If you have questions about any of this, feel free to send a note to me, or find me at the next festival in person.
Best,
Scrap Hirun Teuthida Alizé
President of the Port Katherine Guild of Engineers

Out of Game Note
I use the term “hours of work” to indicate the number of CP an object requires - for example, craft intermediate schematic is a 4 CP skill, and craft basic schematic is a 3 CP skill. If I were making a Reusable Armor Patch, which requires 3 basic schematics and 3 intermediate schematics, I would use a total of 21 CP worth of skills, or “21 hours of work.” Also, use these numbers as a guide an not an absolute - I may have missed a component of a schematic on one or two of these, so I don’t guarantee their complete accuracy. Also note that hours of work calculations do not include the work of apothecaries who make any vials used in the schematic.
