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. For example, 50 paving is enough for the sixth floor (counting the ground floor as first floor), but not the seventh, in either Marble or Stone Slab (others not tested).
