Magazine: Bottle Making at Home is a glassmaking magazine about blowing simple containers. Reading it teaches two recipes, Make Glass Bottle and Make Glass Jar.

Both recipes belong to the Glassmaking skill. They turn molten glass into containers that hold water, other drinks and preserved food. Bottles and jars run short over a long game, so a way to make new ones matters for any settled base.

The magazine is found in loot, mostly on book store and tool store shelves. Reading it also eases boredom and stress.

Uses


Make Glass Bottle needs Glassmaking level 3 and makes a Bottle. Make Glass Jar needs Glassmaking level 5 and makes a Jar. Both take one Small Ceramic Crucible with Molten Glass. A Glass Blowing Pipe and a pair of pliers are needed and kept.

The molten glass comes from melting sand in a furnace. A Smelting Furnace or a Blast Furnace can turn sand into glass. The crucible then goes to the blowing work, which can be done on any surface.

The Artisan trait starts with both recipes known, along with the other basic glass recipes. For anyone else, this magazine is the way in. Its partner, Magazine: Carlow Crystal Guide, covers drinking glasses and window panes.

Like every magazine, it also counts as paper for armour. Make Magazine Body Armor takes eight magazines and four Duct Tape at Tailoring level 1. Make Magazine Limb Armor takes one magazine and two Duct Tape.

Locations


Book store shelves are by far the best place to look. Tool store shelves come next. Bathrooms, bedroom small boxes, closets and library shelves hold one now and then. Attics, halls, living rooms and storage units turn one up less often.

Notes


  • The Jar recipe needs more skill than the Bottle recipe.
  • The blowing pipe and pliers are kept after each piece.
  • Artisan characters already know both recipes.
  • A read copy still serves as Magazine Body Armor material.
