Craft LegendEach craft is rated in three categories: expense, difficulty, and time

investment.  Craft expense is based on a 20 person program.  Craft difficulty is based on the tools and techniques involved in the craft.  Time investment is divided into two categories and will be denoted like this: “Q-F”. The first is preparation time and the second is the time it takes to complete one iteration of the craft.   So, a craft with a label of (C,M,Q-F) is cheap, moderate in difficulty, quick to set up, and fast to complete.
