Artisans

An artisan is a special character who can craft equipment for you, from tough armor and powerful weapons to magic jewelry and scrolls. Every artisan you meet will ask you for a favor. As soon as you fulfill the request, a workshop blueprint will appear in the settlement. An artisan with a workshop receives payment from the treasury and crafts weapons or armor for you either at your request or of their own accord.

You will find one in certain regions of the Stolen Lands. Some of them arrive to you on their own, and others can be found in settlements. Each artisan you hire will eventually request your help in creating a special item. Complete their special quest to unlock a masterpiece, an extraordinary piece of gear. The artisan will inform you that they're prepared to start working on a masterpiece and ask you to stop placing specific orders in the meantime.

The Kingmaker community has compiled a complete overview of artisan rewards and their stats.

Gameplay
After an Artisan's building has been build in their respective region, artisans will appear in the throne room regularly to begin the production of a random item. Artisans won't work if their building has not been built, or they have an unsolved kingdom event. The quality of an item an artisan produces is linked to the tier level that as been unlocked, with artisans randomly producing items from the current tier level, and up to two tiers lower. There are six tiers for each artisan (numbered 0 through 5), and building that artisan's workshop unlocks tier 0. Even though there are more than six tier unlock actions possible for each artisan, tier 5 is the maximum tier.

If you request an item of a specific type, the chances of receiving an item from each tier is:

If you don't request an item of a specific type, the chances of receiving an item from each tier is:

Note that if you request a specific item type, you will only get one of a predetermined set of items, listed in the below tables, not any item of that type made by that artisan. For example, if you ask Dragn to make you a warhammer, there is no chance of you getting the Preacher's Warhammer, even though it is a warhammer that Dragn can make. You can only get the Preacher's Warhammer if you ask for a Dwarven style item or if you do not request a specific item type.

Item production times range from between 63 and 112 days, except for the first item an artisan ever produces, which ranges from 22 to 45 days.

Masterpiece items must be unlocked before there is a chance Artisans will start working on them. To unlock masterpiece items, you must:
 * Successfly complete the Artisan's associated quests
 * Have built their workshop in their associated settlement (Upgrading is not required)
 * Have unlocked the artisan's top tier quality items by performing 6 tier unlock actions

Once a masterpiece has been unlocked to work on, there is a 33% * (1 + TurnsWithoutMasterpieces) chance that an artisan will start working on their masterpiece. If a specific item type is requested, the artisan will not attempt to create a masterpiece or increase the masterpiece chance for that attempt. Masterpiece items take 180 days to produce.
