Campbell’s Basic Framework is one of the new components coming in the May 1st release. This art’s great, and I think the Elysians would enjoy using a double helix as a basic component of their technology. Malcolm Campbell, the craftsman in Crystal Center, is one of my personal favorite characters. His first mission introduces new arrivals to the Crafting terminal, and offers them the blueprint for Tropical Shades, to encourage new players to take up crafting. In his second mission, Axonic Diodes, Malcolm’s heard about poor Samuel’s ongoing logical problems, and he’s going to MacGyver up a solution to replace his damaged axonic diodes. Anyone who helps Malcolm with what he needs for this must be an apprentice crafter, and a fellow artisan like that might be interested in another of Malcolm’s inventions, Campbell’s Basic Framework. Making this framework will require: 1 Papoo Tail 1 Boar Tail 20 Vibrant SweatCampbell’s Basic Framework uses some simple, common materials to create a basic component. I like the gameplay this will add for lower-level players, and the nice effects this will have on the Next Island economy, and creatively I think that’s something an inventive crafter like Malcolm would develop!

Oh thats a realy good move! Theres bugger all market for sweat on NI (or anywhere really these days). This should help a lot! Really good thinking
Thanks, Wistrel! Our economy won't be perfect overnight but this round of components should have a very nice effect on the market and the gameplay. And Peter, I wrote that and figured if it makes me giggle, maybe someone else will have a laugh too! Glad you did!
Meg, did I read right that this can only be crafted by newbie crafters? ("must be an apprentice crafter"). Or is that indicating a minimum level required?
I'm afraid you're reading too much into the storyline :) -- there's no level cap, just a master craftsman character who's grateful to an assistant in crafting, and gives a blueprint reward.
well lets hope we can loot a Swiss Army Knife, some string, a rubber band and a tie-wrap and we could make this for sure :)
Cheers Meg. Be interesting this... could even bring about some sort of importing thing from other planets. Maybe sweat will fetch a higher price on the Island than Caly for example. So few people hunting boar I'm not sure exporting those parts in the other direction would be possible.
Does it look like anything else to you? Maybe something that a scientist might consider a basic component?
Heck, it's just a joke, lol! If you got a small metal ladder and twisted it, that's what it could look like...
