Beginning the Craft:

Clothcraft if my favorite of all crafts.  Sickles go for
reasonable prices from Windy NPCs and they rarely break.  This is
much unlike mining where pickaxes can break every other strike. 
In my experience, each one of my sickles has lasted at least a week and
about 25 swings.  I have never worn any special garments for
harvesting.  Either I have been lucky or harvesting is just so
rare that there is no need to hinder would-be 'flee' users from
stalking.  In fact, I have never once seen another person harvest
during my evening strolls of West Saru.  I am always the only person
sickling. 

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,

A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,

Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it

Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.

The darkness drops again; but now I know

That twenty centuries of stony sleep

were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

- William Butler Yeats
