| + | [[File:Interface-Crafting-Standard.png|thumb|right|An example interface for crafting.]] |
| − | '''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. |
| | | | |
| | + | ==Basics== |
| | + | 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]]. |
| | | | |
| | + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | === Things you will need ===
| + | 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]]. |
| − | In order to begin crafting, three things need to be located: a recipe, the materials detailed in the recipe (including Crowns and Energy), and an alchemy machine.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Recipe ====
| + | Crafting is not tied to any skill and always succeeds. |
| − | {{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.
| + | |

| | | | |
| − | ==== Alchemy Machine ====
| + | 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. |
| − | [[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]].
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | Apart from regular Alchemy Machines several '''special Alchemy Machines''' also exist on Cradle. Instead of reading the recipes a Knight has learned, such machine stores unique recipes within, that a Knight may use as if it were his own. Special machines allow Knights to craft items they are otherwise incapable of producing themselves.
| + | 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. |
| − | So far there are three special Alchemy Machines known to the Knights:
| + | |
| − | *[[Krogmo Alchemy Machine]]
| + | |
| − | *[[Sanctuary Alchemy Machine]]
| + | |
| − | *[[Vise Alchemy Machine]]
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | The cost of crafting an item depends on its star level, and generally doubles with each additional star.
| + | 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]]. |
| | | | |
| − | Alchemy Cost:
| + | 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. |
| − | * ★☆☆☆☆: 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.
| + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | Price from Vendor:
| + | 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]]. |

| − | === Unique Variants === | + | ==Economics== |
| − | [[Image:Unique_variant.png|thumb|right|A unique variant [[Jelly Helm]] with an increase to shadow defense.]] | + | 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. |
| − | {{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.
| + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | The variant's bonus is described in the tooltip and marked with a star icon.
| + | There are currently no transmutable 0-star items. |
| − | {{clearall}}
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | == List of Crafting Materials ==
| + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | {{SKWindowSortable
| + | 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]]. |

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
