The Smoking Pipe is a small pipe for smoking loose tobacco. It is a comfort item for smokers and a useful carving project.
Its one recipe is Fill Pipe. Three pieces of tobacco go into the bowl to make a Smoking Pipe with Tobacco. Once smoked, the pipe comes back empty, ready to fill again.
The pipe is carved from a Small Handle or fired from clay in a kiln. It also turns up in tobacco stores, smoking rooms and backstage areas. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Fill Pipe takes three tobacco and one empty Smoking Pipe. No station or skill is needed. The result is a Smoking Pipe with Tobacco. The same recipe also fills a Can Pipe.
Smoking the filled pipe lowers stress and feeds a smoker's need for nicotine. Because the pipe returns empty after each smoke, one pipe lasts as long as the tobacco supply.
The pipe also matters to carvers. It is easy to make and gives a decent amount of experience. That makes Carve Pipe a quick way to raise the Carving skill.
How to Get Smoking Pipe

Notes
- A pipe is reused after every smoke, so only tobacco needs restocking.
- Carving pipes is a cheap way to train Carving from level 3.
- Fill Pipe needs three tobacco each time.
- A clay pipe from the kiln saves a Small Handle for other work.
