Skill Tinkering

Tinkering is a gnome-only trade skill. Gnomes start out with a tinkering skill of 50 and a gnome character cannot raise tinker until he reaches level 16. Tinkering can be expensive to raise, but some items such as the collapsible fishing pole, mechanized lockpicks, aqualungs and rebreathers are marketable to other players and can be used to fund a character's later tinkering endeavors. Combine ingredients in a Toolbox.
