Navajo Craftsmanship
Navajo Craftsmanship is an Age of Empires III technology from the Exploration Age, researched at Trading Post or Tambo on a Navajo settlement. It increases villager gathering from mine, Tribal Marketplace, Mountain Monastery, Estate, Rice Paddy (coin), Field (coin), and Hacienda (coin) by 20%; increases fishing ship gathering from whale by 20%; increases abun gathering from Mountain Monastery by 20%.

Effect & research conditions
Available from the Exploration Age. Research it at Trading Post or Tambo on a Navajo settlement. Effect: Villager gather work rate for mine, Tribal Marketplace, Mountain Monastery, Estate, Rice Paddy (coin), Field (coin), and Hacienda (coin) +20%; fishing ship gather work rate for whale +20%; Abun gather work rate for Mountain Monastery +20%; Hacienda auto gather work rate for coin +20%. Research costs 175 food, 125 wood. Research takes 10 seconds.
Research condition
Available from the Exploration Age. Research it at Trading Post or Tambo on a Navajo settlement.
When to research
The broad Coin package is strongest when Villagers, Fishing Ships and Abun can all work the listed sites. Before spending 175 Food and 125 Wood, identify which of those sources are actually available on the map; a workforce gathering only from unaffected resources gains little. The 10-second research is quick, but the Trading Post or Tambo must be connected to a Navajo settlement.
Coin bonuses span workers, ships and Abun
Navajo Craftsmanship improves Villager Coin gathering from Mines, Tribal Marketplaces, Mountain Monasteries, Estates, Coin Rice Paddies, Coin Fields and Coin Haciendas by 20%. Fishing Ships gather Coin from Whales 20% faster, Abun gathering at Mountain Monasteries rises 20%, and Hacienda automatic Coin gathering also increases 20%.
Exploration Age settlement research
Research the technology for 175 Food and 125 Wood, with a 10-second research time, at a Trading Post or Tambo on a Navajo settlement. The effect covers specialized sources, so map access and the civilization’s current economy determine whether the wide list yields practical value.
