UOGuide is being upgraded soon to fix slowness, see this topic for more information.

Tinkering is a crafting skill. It provides very little direct benefit to combat. You can, however, repair and create items, which makes Tinkering a coveted skill.

That fellow, or lass, with pockets overflowing with bits of metal, scraps of ore, and widgets and trinkets of various shapes and sizes may be your local tinker. Tinkers of Britannia may create a wide variety of tools, traps, trinkets and other items to brighten the houses and keeps of Britannia.

The jewelry below comes with random mods in addition to the fixed mod(s) listed below. The fixed mods are not guaranteed to have the highest possible intensity. I have crafted a few exceptional rings and bracelets and had an intensity of 3%. Bare that in mind.

Name	Ingredients	Fixed Stats
Brilliant Amber Bracelet	5 Ingots, 20 Amber, 10 Brilliant Amber	1-5 random properties Intensity range up to 100% Always one of the following Lower Reagent Cost, Faster Casting, Faster Cast Recovery, Spell Damage Increase
Fire Ruby Bracelet	5 Ingots, 20 Rubies, 10 Fire Ruby	1-5 random properties Always one of the following: Fire Resist 10%, Hit Point Regeneration +2 (rare)

Ecru Citrine Ring	5 Ingots, 20 Citrines, 10 Ecru Citrine	2-5 random properties Always one of the following: Enhance Potions 5%, Strength Bonus +5, Enhance Potions 75% (uncommon)
Blue Diamond Ring	5 Ingots, 20 Diamonds, 10 Blue Diamond	2-5 random properties Always one of the following: LRC +10%, FC, FCR, SDI
Perfect Emerald Ring	5 Ingots, 20 Emeralds, 10 Perfect Emerald	2-5 random properties Intensity range up to 80% Always one of the following: Poison Resist 10%, SDI +5%
Turquoise Ring	5 Ingots, 20 Amethysts, 10 Turquoise	1-4 random properties Always one of the following: Damage Increase 15%, Swing Speed Increase 5% (rare)

Notes

Some of the intensities on properties above are cumulative or "stack". For example, I just made a Turquoise Ring with 27% Damage. Max Damage Increase for jewelry is typically 25%. A Turquoise Ring can get a 15% Damage Increase as a property. So, this particular ring randomly spawned with 12% Damage Increase and then got the 15% boost to get to 27%. Stacking of properties can create artifact type jewelry since you can surpass the typical caps.
