Tips and Tricks : Google Documents for Crafting

Dartmud has a lot of stuff you can make. How much stuff? Hundreds of items in hundreds of combinations. A surcoat: Wool, sheared from your sheep, dye, grown or gathered as a raw material and turn into a proper dye, thread, spun from the proper fibers, and finally embroidered using whatever you'd like. Potentially you have quite a few steps involved from start to finish. Multiply this with cooking, smithing, and all of the other crafts and you have a pretty intimidating list of things to remember!

One thing I do is keep a tab open in my browser that contains my Google Document Spreadsheet of Dartmud goodies. I have a tab for each craft, and add information as I come upon it. Find a new item to craft? List it there with the materials needed. I also keep track of what sparring and magic related tasks I'm at. It helps me remember my sparring points and spell information.

Even if you aren't working that craft you'll hear a great deal in the towns, or while hanging out at the smithy. It becomes your own Dartmud data repository.
