Is it not indeed the randomness of card selection from the deck that has caused you to use five-card decks?

Only the initial hand is random. After that you always know which cards you'll get.
But mostly people have 5 card decks because that's all you'll ever need, for everything.

Some items cannot be described. I try to describe "painting" to someone, but it doesn't work. Is this because they can't learn the prerequisite "custom image sketch" due to unique properties?

That's not true, though; the deck ordering is pseudo-random. If you have, say, only 1 Cleave in a 30-card deck, you won't know when it'll appear.

How does the concentration on tanning fluid impact hides? Does it leather-ize hides faster?

I did consider doing something like it, but just using more bark didn't seem meaningful enough for such an effect.

That's just because the painting does not belong to any describable types at all. You don't get a discovery when you first craft it either.

What randomness is there besides the initial ordering of cards?

Is it not indeed the randomness of card selection from the deck that has caused you to use five-card decks?

I think people use 5 card decks because the most effective strategy is to spam the same move over and over again. The randomness didn't really matter much using larger decks, because you could just remember the order you played cards to know the order you would draw. Those decks just weren't as good, because you couldn't spam attacks or maneuvers indefinitely.

What i meant is, after you cycled through your deck once, you know the order in which the cards will come in.

So what does higher concentration do then?

Hey Jorb, when are chests going to have appearances based on materials used to make them?

2) What quality tanning fluid will be? For example - i will put some bark into water, then add some more same quality bark to it - how to calculate quality?

It works as previously in that one piece of bark counts equally to one liter of water for quality purposes.

Erm. One piece of bark was for 10 liters, not for one, wasn't it?
About quality - still do not understand how to calculate. Let's take some numerical example:
1) Earlier i was taking 10 liters of 49q water with 29q bark - and the result - 10 liters of 39q tanning fluid.
2) Now i have 40 liters of 49 water (in tanning tub), i will add exactly 1 29q bark in it. In what quality and concentration tanning fluid will it result? If we add another 29q bark - that will change?
And in the end - if i add 4 29q barks in row - will i obtain 40 liters of 39q tanning fluid as was before? What concentration it will be?

Stop. No.

Lasts longer. Survives more added water, I guess.
