This page will explain building in Akami with detail.

Uses
Building can be used to make furniture and houses for you to live in or use, or to be sold to others.

Requirements
Building needs 2 basic things.


 * Wood
 * Metal

Wood
In Akami, there are many types of usable wood. This wood can be of three different types:


 * Wood
 * Toughened wood
 * Structured wood

Wood
Plain wood is a balance of defending and structuring. It is also one of the most common types of wood. Plain wood is ideal for personal housing and furniture.

Toughened Wood
Toughened wood is focused on a defensive structure. While it is the most durable of woods, it attributes the least amount of structure points to the piece. It is ideal for non-raiding guild houses.

Structured Wood
Structured wood is focused on a sturdy house. While it attributes the most structure points to the piece, it is the least durable of all the types. It is ideal for raiding guild houses.

Metal
In Akami, there are various types of metals that can be crafted into rods. These rods attribute some structure and durability to the piece, and are needed for any joints in the structure.

Housing
Housing has the additions aspect to add in.

Additions
Any house can be without additions, though they certainly do help. There are three types of additions.


 * Structural
 * Defensive
 * Offensive

Structural
Structural additions are additions that fill space and add to the sturdiness of the house.

Defensive
Defensive additions are additions that prevent unwelcome guests from making it to your house, like motes and archery turrets.

Offensive
Offensive additions are additions that allow you to attack enemy houses from afar, like catapults and ballistas.

Furniture
Furniture is not without its own additions.

Additions
Any piece of furniture can go without additions, though they can add features to the piece.


 * Gilt work
 * Hidden compartments

Gilt Work
Gilt work uses metals found to get wedged into carved crevices into the wood.

Hidden Compartments
Hidden compartments use extra wood to add in special, unseen storage areas that allow you to hide things that you don't want others to see and maybe steal.
