Increased crafting speed	All tiers

Description

A Taskmaster can be placed in the Thrall slot of the  Lesser Wheel of Pain,  Wheel of Pain,  Greater Wheel of Pain and  Torturer's Worktable.
Taskmasters in the  Torturer's Worktable increase the durability of all items crafted in the bench and the concussion damage of  Iron Truncheons and  Steel Truncheons slightly.

T4 Taskmasters have 2 different specializations:

• Drivers increase the bonus concussion damage of truncheons crafted in the  Torturer's Worktable the furthest (about 22%).
• Overseers increase the bonus durability of truncheons crafted in the  Torturer's Worktable the furthest (about 44%).

Benefits

• There are now 2 types of Taskmaster with different bonuses:
  • A Driver provides the best increase of the concussion damage of any crafted piece in the  Torturer's Worktable.
  • A Overseer provides the best increase of the durability of any crafted piece in the  Torturer's Worktable.

¹ The only benefit Purge-type Taskmasters provide is crafting speed. They do not get additional bonuses in any other department. However, their bonuses in regards to Profession Specialization work just the same.
² This is probably a bug or oversight and will likely get fixed in a future patch.
³ The bonus is added to the base concussion damage of the weapon, so either  Iron Truncheon or  Steel Truncheon. The eventual output is determined by the target's armor. Taskmasters do not increase the concussion damage bonus from kits such as  Blunted Weapon Fitting, their bonus does however get doubled by the Thuggery Perk. This means they apply the strongest relative bonus when no kits or oils are being used, but the bonus is comparatively small.

Explanatory Addendum

For instance, if it would require to turn a thrall within 25 hours, then a 50% crafting speed increase would cut that time down from 25h to 16h 40mins. The formula is essentially time needed divided by 1+% increase depending on the Thrall in question. For a Purge T4 Taskmaster this equals reducing the time needed through 4 instead of 1, so the Thrall from our example would take 6h 15mins. A regular T4 Taskmaster would instead require 8h and 20mins. This also means that the raw time needed decreases further between a Purge T4 and a regular T4 than it would for a T4 compared to a T3.

Bonus Recipe

T3 or higher Taskmasters provide the Recipe for  Chain Bindings when placed in  Torturer's Worktable.
