| − | '''Crafting''' allows you to take materials obtained while adventuring and use them to create new items or upgrade items you already have. Crafting costs both [[crowns]] and [[energy]], in addition to the items listed in the recipe.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | When crafting using a bound item, the newly upgraded item will also be bound.
| + | '''Crafting''' is the process by which new [[equipment]] is made. |
| | | | |
| − | == Crafting an Item == | + | ==Basics== |
| − | Once everything needed for a recipe is acquired, an item can be created at an Alchemy Machine. The process will use up the items, materials, [[crowns]], and [[Official:Energy|energy]] listed on the recipe. Crafting is not tied to any skill, and the Alchemy Machine will always successfully create your item if you have all the required ingredients and can pay the cost.
| + | Crafting, a.k.a "transmuting" an item requires the [[material]]s listed in its [[recipe]], three [[orbs of alchemy]] (with the exception of [[furniture]]), a number of [[crown]]s, and usage of the correct [[List of Alchemy Stations|alchemy station]]. |
| | | | |
| − | === Things You Will Need ===
| + | If the item is crafted at the regular [[Alchemy Machine]], the player must obtain and learn the recipe as well as collect the components of the desired item. Items made at the regular Alchemy Machine can be made anywhere in [[Haven]] by opening the recipe tab, which is [[controls|keybound]] to F5 by default. |
| − | In order to begin crafting, three things need to be located: a recipe, the materials detailed in the recipe, and an alchemy machine.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Recipe ====
| + | Once the player has collected the required components, the desired item can be transmuted. Certain items must be crafted via specific stations, and in the case of furniture, components must be collected in the [[Guild Treasury|treasury]] of the player's guild instead of the [[arsenal]]. |
| − | {{main|Recipe}}
| + | |
| − | Recipes are purchased from [[vendor]]s which can be found in [[Haven]] and while adventuring on the various levels. Hover over the recipes to see details on the item it will create. After a recipe is purchased, it can be found in your [[Arsenal]] under Recipes. Once a recipe is learned, the associated item may be crafted as many times as desired. Recipes cannot be unlearned. The cost of recipes depends on the star level.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | Recipe Price:
| + | Crafting is not tied to any skill and always succeeds. |
| − | * ★☆☆☆☆: 250 crowns
| + | |
| − | * ★★☆☆☆: 1,000 crowns

| − | * ★★★☆☆: 4,000 crowns
| + | |
| − | * ★★★★☆: 10,000 crowns
| + | |
| − | * ★★★★★: 25,000 crowns
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Materials ==== | + | ==Upgrading== |
| − | Materials can be found in the [[Clockworks]] while adventuring. Certain recipes may also require other pieces of [[equipment]], or even [[heat|leveled up]] pieces of equipment. Using recipes to upgrade items creates a more powerful item than the one you started with. Press F5 or select Recipes from the Menu in the upper left corner to bring up the Recipe Manager. Here you can get more information on which materials are needed to create the item. Note that the Recipe Manager can't create the item, for that you need the Alchemy Machines described below.
| + | [[File:Interface-Transfer_UVs-Yes.png|thumb|right|UVs will transfer.]] |
| | + | [[File:Interface-Transfer_UVs-No.png|thumb|right|UVs will be discarded.]] |
| | | | |
| − | Higher-ranked materials have a better chance of dropping the deeper you delve into the Clockworks. Here is a general outline of where to find materials of each star rating. '''Note: This is not a strict list, and some materials may be found higher or lower in the Clockworks.'''
| + | When upgrading an item from one star level to the next, crafting also requires a precursor item. Items related to each other in this way are in the same [[:Category:Alchemy Paths|alchemy path]]. The precursor item must be unequipped in order to be used in a craft. The upgraded item replaces the precursor item in the player's arsenal. |

| − | ==== Alchemy Machine ====
| + | |
| − | [[Image:alchemy.png|thumb|right|An alchemy machine.]]
| + | |
| − | Alchemy Machines are located in [[Haven]], [[Moorcroft Manor]], and [[Emberlight]]. Haven has several Alchemy Machines which can be found in Guildhalls, the [[Bazaar]], [[Arcade]], and the [[Town Square]].
| + | |
| − | The cost of crafting an item depends on its star level, and generally doubles with each additional star. | + | |
| | | | |
| − | Alchemy Cost:
| + | To upgrade a 3-star item to 4 stars, the 3-star item must be [[heat]]ed to level 5 or higher. To upgrade a 4-star item to 5 stars, the 4-star item must have heat level 10. Beyond these minimum requirements, the heat level of the precursor item has no effect on the quality of the upgrade. The upgraded item always begins at heat level 1. |
| − | * ★☆☆☆☆: 200 crowns/ 10 energy
| + | |
| − | * ★★☆☆☆: 400 crowns/ 50 energy
| + | |
| − | * ★★★☆☆: 1,000 crowns / 200 energy
| + | |
| − | * ★★★★☆: 2,500 crowns/ 400 energy
| + | |
| − | * ★★★★★: 5,000 crowns/ 800 energy
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | Usually, crafting is much cheaper than buying the item pre-made from a vendor, and also gives the added possibility of creating a unique variant (see below). Pre-made items increase in price as their star level increases. Thus, items with a high star level are generally cheaper to craft than to buy pre-made.
| + | If the precursor item is [[Binding|bound]], then the newly upgraded item will also be bound. Because an item must be equipped to be heated, and equipping an item binds it, this means that any newly made 4- and 5-star item is bound. The item cannot be traded to another player, unless an unbinding fee is paid at [[Vise]]. |
| | | | |
| − | Price from Vendor:
| + | When upgrading an item with one or more unique variants, the player can choose whether to "Transfer Unique Variants" under the "special" section of the crafting interface. If the UVs are kept, then the upgraded item will have those UVs, with no chance of more or better UVs. If the UVs are discarded, then the upgraded item has a chance of acquiring up to three UVs. This chance is the same as an item made from scratch. |
| − | * ☆☆☆☆☆: 150 crowns
| + | |
| − | * ★☆☆☆☆: 3,000 crowns
| + | |
| − | * ★★☆☆☆: 7,500 crowns
| + | |
| − | * ★★★☆☆: 35,000 crowns
| + | |
| − | * ★★★★☆: 100,000 crowns
| + | |
| − | * ★★★★★: 300,000 crowns
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | === Unique Variants ===
| + | Upgrading preserves [[accessory|accessories]], as long as the upgraded version has the accessory slot. If the item does not have a slot for the accessory, then the accessory is destroyed. For example, if an [[Ash Tail Coat]] with an aura attached is upgraded to a [[Skolver Coat]] then the aura will be destroyed. |
| − | [[Image:Unique_variant.png|thumb|right|A unique variant [[Jelly Helm]] with an increase to elemental defense.]] | + | |
| − | {{main|Unique variant}}
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | When crafting an item, you will sometimes be informed that you have crafted a "unique variant." These items have a stat bonus.
| + | Upgrading an item can significantly improve its performance in certain combat situations. The next item must be carefully chosen if the item has a branched alchemy path, and this decision is often influenced by the combat situations the player plans to use the item in. For example, upgrading a [[Brandish]] up to the [[Voltedge]] is a good choice for some places, but [[Acheron]] is better for others. The solution is to plan ahead as well as craft a variety of gear, because the player can obtain more than one Brandish and so on. Upgrading is also integrated into player progression, because higher star items are necessary to receive Star Certification from [[Barrus]] in the [[Hall of Heroes]], thus unlocking more opportunities for exploration in deeper depths and higher ranked missions. On the other hand, players might not want to continue upgrading certain items in order to use them in the desired tier of [[Lockdown]]. |
| | | | |
| − | The variant's bonus is described in the tooltip and marked with a star icon.
| + | ==Economics== |
| − | {{clearall}}
| + | Acquiring an item via crafting is almost always significantly less expensive than buying the item from a [[vendor]] or the [[Supply Depot]]. Crafting also offers a chance of acquiring up to three [[unique variant]]s, which does not occur when the item is purchased from a vendor or the depot. |
| | | | |
| − | == List of Crafting Materials ==
| + | A 5-star recipe costs more than its 2-, 3-, and 4-star versions combined. The overall cost of a completed 5-star item dwarfs the entire cost of making a 4-star item from scratch and heating it. In other words, as far as cost is concerned, a typical 4-star item is far less than halfway finished on its way to being a fully heated 5-star form. |

| | + | Items crafted via special alchemy stations have built-in recipes and therefore no recipe purchase cost. Many items crafted at these machines have economic patterns similar to items crafted at the standard alchemy machine, frequently differing significantly in total crown cost as well as material quantity. |

Once the player has collected the required components, the desired item can be transmuted. Certain items must be crafted via specific stations, and in the case of furniture, components must be collected in the treasury of the player's guild instead of the arsenal.
When upgrading an item from one star level to the next, crafting also requires a precursor item. Items related to each other in this way are in the same alchemy path. The precursor item must be unequipped in order to be used in a craft. The upgraded item replaces the precursor item in the player's arsenal.
When upgrading an item with one or more unique variants, the player can choose whether to "Transfer Unique Variants" under the "special" section of the crafting interface. If the UVs are kept, then the upgraded item will have those UVs, with no chance of more or better UVs. If the UVs are discarded, then the upgraded item has a chance of acquiring up to three UVs. This chance is the same as an item made from scratch.
Upgrading an item can significantly improve its performance in certain combat situations. The next item must be carefully chosen if the item has a branched alchemy path, and this decision is often influenced by the combat situations the player plans to use the item in. For example, upgrading a Brandish up to the Voltedge is a good choice for some places, but Acheron is better for others. The solution is to plan ahead as well as craft a variety of gear, because the player can obtain more than one Brandish and so on. Upgrading is also integrated into player progression, because higher star items are necessary to receive Star Certification from Barrus in the Hall of Heroes, thus unlocking more opportunities for exploration in deeper depths and higher ranked missions. On the other hand, players might not want to continue upgrading certain items in order to use them in the desired tier of Lockdown.
Acquiring an item via crafting is almost always significantly less expensive than buying the item from a vendor or the Supply Depot. Crafting also offers a chance of acquiring up to three unique variants, which does not occur when the item is purchased from a vendor or the depot.
A 5-star recipe costs more than its 2-, 3-, and 4-star versions combined. The overall cost of a completed 5-star item dwarfs the entire cost of making a 4-star item from scratch and heating it. In other words, as far as cost is concerned, a typical 4-star item is far less than halfway finished on its way to being a fully heated 5-star form.
Items crafted via special alchemy stations have built-in recipes and therefore no recipe purchase cost. Many items crafted at these machines have economic patterns similar to items crafted at the standard alchemy machine, frequently differing significantly in total crown cost as well as material quantity.
The following table summarizes the standard crafting costs of most items created via the standard alchemy machine. A few items do not follow these patterns consistently or predictably, such as the Swiftstrike Buckler and Lightning Capacitor.

Flawed Orb of Alchemy
Simple Orb of Alchemy
Advanced Orb of Alchemy
Elite Orb of Alchemy
