Paving

Main / Skills / Paving

Description

Paving is the skill needed to pave dirt, e.g. for faster travel on roads, covering your yard to prevent nature taking it over, laying the floor of your house, or simply for aesthetic pleasure.

It is possible to pave under water; for example to ease the exiting of the vessel onto dry land in a ship dock/harbour, and for aesthetics purposes. With Body strength higher than 21, you are able to pave a tile, then dig it into water to completely submerge it.

Paving skill is increased as of December 24th 2012 by packing dirt.

Items required

• Rock Shards for making Gravel
• Stone Brick for making Cobblestone
• Slab for making Stone slabs
• Floor boards for making Wooden planks
• Pottery brick for making Pottery brick floor
• marble slab for making Marble slabs
• slate slab for making Slate slabs

Method

Paving is done on packed dirt, except floor boards on dirt or marsh. Activate the item you want to pave with, right-click the tile and choose Pave.

Higher paving skill and higher quality paving item give a faster timer.

Unpaving

Paved tiles can be converted back to dirt by equipping a shovel and choosing 'Destroy pavement'. Body strength of 20 and digging skill of 10 is needed for destroying pavement. Destroying pavement gives digging skill, not paving skill.

Diagonal paving

Selecting "Pave nearest corner" will pave half of the tile diagonally.

House floors

Paving skill is also used to build house floor plans. The minimum skill requirements are:

Skill	Floor
21	Stone brick floor, Stone slab floor
25	Pottery brick floor
30	Slate slab floor
40	Marble slab floor

In addition, a certain level of paving is required to build these kinds of floor at a given height. The skill required is the same as listed on the table for Multi-storey_housing for the same floors... so 70 skill for 9th floor etc.
