How to make and fill light catchers

This example is for a suncatcher:-

  1. First you need a the bottle this costs 150 for a suncatcher and 300 for a starcatcher, and can be brought from anywhere on the mud by using carve suncatcher create. This makes the lowest level bottle.
  2. Now carve it to the desired level by using carve suncatcher Note: each time it is carved there is a chance the light catcher will shatter and be lost forever, this is reduced by learning the skill to a higher standard.
  3. Now find a suitable spot to leave to charge and then type hide suncatcher. Choosing the right location is important with desert being the best terrain type.
  4. Once daylight is passed gather up by typing gather suncatcher


You carve the opening runes...
You now have a suncatcher bottle.
