CRAFT POINTS
To craft an item in between adventures, a character with the appropriate item creation feat (such as Craft Masterwork Items, Brew Potion, or Craft Staff; see below) can pay one-tenth the item's market price in craft points (minimum 1 point). He must also pay material costs equal to one-half the item's market price (this replaces the normal material cost for crafting an item). For a magic item the character must also pay the normal experience point cost for crafting the item. Once the character declares that he is spending these craft points and gold pieces (and experience points, for a magic item), the items is automatically completed one day later (typically the next morning).
Though this makes it appear as if the item was created "instantly," the assumption is that the character has actually been working on it for a while, but only now got around to finishing it. The system simply assumes that characters are always working on various projects in their spare time, even while gathered around the campfire after battling goblins on their latest adventure. Thus, when the time comes, they simply spend the requisite gold and craft points, and the item is "finished" one day later.
To spend Craft points toward the creation of an alchemical, masterwork, or magic item, you must have the requisite Craft feat (such as Craft Masterwork Item for creating a masterwork chain shirt) or assist someone who does (see Assisting, below). Crafting nonmasterwork armor and weapons or simple items-tools, chests, saddles, and the like-doesn't require a Craft feat. Anyone who helps with the creation of such an item can contribute craft points at the normal rate.
For nonmagical items, you must make a successful Craft check (using the DCs given in the System Reference Document) to complete the item. For a masterwork item, use the DC of the item or of the masterwork component, whichever is higher. A failed check means you waste one-half of the gold pieces and craft points required for the item, but you may try again as soon as the next day if you still have enough gold pieces and craft points to complete the item. Magic items require no skill check to complete. These skill checks must be rolled using a secure method, on the enworld server.
To roll a craft check, you use the vb tags [ dice=1 ] 20 [ /dice ] without the spaces around the brackets. This rolls one twenty sided die, and stores the result in the post on the server (where it cannot be changed). This way, the dice rolls are secure, and public.

~The market price and craft costs for these items assume that you
already have the masterwork item to be enhanced
ASSISTING
In addition to the primary crafter-who must have the appropriate Craft feat-up to three assistants can contribute craft points to the creation of the item.
Assistants who have the appropriate Craft feat contribute craft points at full normal value. For untrained assistants (those who don't have the appropriate Craft feat), each craft point contributed counts as 1/2 point of assistance.
The primary creator must contribute at least half of the craft points required to create an item.
It doesn't matter who contributes the gold piece cost that goes towards creating the itme. Only the primary creator can contribute experience points toward the creaton of a magic item.
GAINING CRAFT POINTS
A 1st-level character has 100 craft points. With each class level gained, he gains a number of craft points equal to his new levelx100. A 2nd level character can have as many as 300 craft points, and so forth, all the way up to 20th-level character, who would have a total of 21,000 craft points (assuming he never spent any).
Creatures with Intelligence of 3 or higher have craft points a character whose level equals their class levels + Hit Dice. A mind flayer (8 HD), for instance, has the craft points of an 8th-level character. If that mind flayer gained a class level, it would gain an additional 900 craft points-despite being at least reasonably intelligent, a griffon or pegasus is unlike to be in a position to craft an item or assist another character in crafting an item. The DM must use his best judgement when determing whether a character can use its craft points.
Creatures with Intelligence of 2 or lower (or without an Intelligence score) never gain craft points.
Familiars or special mounts never gain craft points, regardless of their Intelligence or Hit Dice.

ITEM CREATION FEATS
Each time you gain an item creation feat, you gain additional craft points as noted on the table below. You dont' have to spend these craft points on items appropriate to the feat-you can spend them on any item. For example, Craft Masterwork Weapon grants a bonus of 100 craft points, which you can use to craft weapons, armor, potions, or any other item.
In addition to the item creation feats found in the System Reference Document, this variant includes a number of feats dedicated to the creation of nonmagic items. The table below gives appropriate new prerequisites for all item creation feats, including those in the System Reference Document.
