“Items may be created by players at any time using a crafting kit. The chance of success depends on the R&D Items skill of the player.

4.1/ Requirements
In order to successfully craft an item, one must meet the following requirements:
Have a crafting kit equipped in the hand slot
Not to be doing any other personal actions, such as force training, creating locks

Example
Johnny Smith tried to create an item without a crafting kit equipped. He would get the result "you need a crafting kit to create an item."

4.2/ Creating the Item
All items takes 3 hours to create, and there is always a chance of failure. The chance of success is calculated as follows:

Chance of Success=60+(Skill*5)

Skill:Your R&D Items Skill ”
