If you were rolling for the week you opt for 216 SP worth of work.  In this same time you can make 10 daggers, and if you put in a little while tomorrow (or burned the midnight oil, with the DM allowing you to 'round up' for the fact that you are 40 cp away) you have a nice even 11 over the span of that week.  Usually taking 10 for the week is best for your overall sanity at earlier levels, but once you pass the mark for your specific poison of choice you can just roll with it and be on your way.Really the rules are so-worded to just be an easy measure of a single item, but a Smith doesn't finish an item, look about, then say 'meh' when he has 3-5 hours left over at the forge.  A skilled smith with just Focus, Craft maxed out, and an positive Int gets you to the ability to reliably make daggers at that rate.  If you have an apprentice to aid you (he just needs to take 10 so as long as he isn't a half-wit he's good to go untrained) you're going to be making 12 daggers reliably/week on your own. It's when you start working towards Masterwork items that it gets interesting... You need more skilled laborers, and it takes quite some time.  But that would be the basics of Craft.  Seems pretty simple when you're not addled by a head injury <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />.Slainte,-Loonook.</blockquote>
