The most advanced form of Gearcrafting includes the way it interacts with trinkets. All trinkets possessing magic seem to have further innate magics that can be tapped into. The closest analog to the process of activating these magics is that of Tinkering and Imbuing items as has long been the practice of a variety of crafters around Dereth. However Gearcrafting trinkets have a set of differences and some very specific rules. | The most advanced form of Gearcrafting includes the way it interacts with trinkets.

Activating the innate abilities of trinkets is not the only use of Gearcrafting. We have managed to refine our understanding of Gearcrafting to the extent that it allows us to make devices of great power from a variety of base components. This process has been used in the invention of a variety of devices that can be used to amplify the power of a variety of skills. | Activating the innate abilities of trinkets is not the only use of Gearcrafting.

These devices are crafted into their complete forms using Gearcrafting and a variety of base components. The most basic of components are already familiar to Derethians but the specific nature of Gearcrafting has lead to the creation of a variety of highly specialized tools. These tools can be found at Jewelers, Shopkeepers and Archmages around Dereth depending on the nature of the tool. | These devices are crafted into their complete forms using Gearcrafting and a variety of base components.

In these first days of what may be a new era we've invented much using the little we've learned. These inventions and our work in drawing out the innate abilities of the mechanical Trinkets that Gearknights brought into the world have a great deal of promise for the people of Dereth. Below you will find simple diagrams describing all Gearcrafting procedures. We appreciate all your efforts. Enjoy the wonders of Gearcrafting. | In these first days of what may be a new era we've invented much using the little we've learned.
