Many monsters drop materials upon defeat. However, there are some "rare" materials that are not dropped by monsters and are obtainable by other means: as a prize box drop, as a prize wheel prize, bought from certain vendors via tokens, earned from specific missions, and so on. This section covers such materials.

While some of the low-star gear can be obtained by purchase, the key method to obtain almost every piece of gear is by crafting. To craft, you need to acquire Recipes. Once acquired and learned, each recipe details the materials, the energy, the crowns, and lower-star gear needed to craft your gear. The main benefit of crafting is to have a small chance of obtaining Unique Variants, which yield boosted stats for the gear crafted. Do note that not every piece of gear can be crafted because no recipe for them exists; thus, these pieces of gear can only be obtained by directly purchasing them via a Vendor or the Auction House.

• The Hall of Heroes has a majority of the recipes via nine different Vendors. These recipes automatically bind to you upon purchase. Reaching specific missions allows you to purchase higher-star recipes (e.g. reaching Mission 4-1 allows you to purchase recipes up to 2 stars).
• Several Special Alchemy Machines store their own recipes, thus allowing you to craft at these machines without having to purchase the recipe itself. (Materials, crowns, energy, and lower-star gear are still required to craft.) The gear that can be crafted on these machines can only be crafted via these machines. These alchemy machines are specifically located somewhere in Haven or in the Clockworks.
  • The Krogmo Alchemy Machine crafts all Heart Pendant and Module Trinkets using Enamorocks and Mod Calibrators purchased from Sullivan.
  • The Sanctuary Alchemy Machine crafts unique 5-star helmets and armor using materials gathered in The Sanctuary itself.
  • The Vise Alchemy Machine crafts Mask of Seerus helmets using fragments rewarded from defeating Warmaster Seerus.
  • The Armero Alchemy Machine crafts Boss Trophy furniture in the Guild Hall. A lot of materials and crowns are required per crafting.
  • The Moorcroft Alchemy Machine crafts upgrades to Kat Hood helmet using Kat Tribe Fetish, both purchased from Montague.
• A few Vendors carry recipes, either a set list or at random. These vendors include:
  • Sullivan has recipes covering five distinct alchemy lines, purchasable via Krogmo Coins. Only these recipes can be attained by Sullivan.
  • Vatel has 1- and 2-star recipes for sale, which are randomly set each day. (A similar random set can also be found via Basil in the Tier 1 Clockwork Terminial.)
  • Basil is a traveling merchant that can be found in two places.
    • Clockwork Terminals where he has random pieces of gear for sale depending on the Tier he is situated in.
    • Mission lobbies where he has a set of gear available depending on the current mission.
    Several recipes can only be initially attained by Basil; for most of these recipes, knights go on "recipe runs" where they reach the Clockwork Terminal in hope of finding these rare recipes (which are randomly set per occurrence). Below is a list of such recipes. Note that the ones with ML next to them refer to recipes that can be bought from Basil in the respective mission lobby.

• Some recipes may be obtained upon completing specific Missions; therefore, there is no need to purchase them (unless you need them urgently). View these specific alchemy paths and which missions to obtain them.
