Can anyone tell me how long it takes to craft the steed in goal 13? I'm trying to work out if I can make it - page 1 lists the requirements we need but not how long it takes.

I think it's 15 minutes

Thanks. I might have a chance then.

Once you finish goal 10, don't craft anything in your forge or workshops as they will be needed during the next steps

(Made the mistake of starting swords without checking where things are crafted so extended my last 3 goals by a few hours)
