Crafting is the fine art of taking a set of items and turning them into something greater than the sum of their parts.
Recipes and Alchemy Machines
In order to begin crafting, you'll need to locate three key ingredients...
- A supply of crafting materials
Crafting materials can be found in The Clockworks. A list of known materials can be found below.
- An appropriate recipe
Recipes are purchased from shops. The Bazaar in Haven has a Stranger with a small stock of basic equipment recipes. Once you've purchased a recipe, you can craft the associated item as many times as you please.
- Access to an Alchemy Machine
Alchemy Machines can be found placed throughout town areas. Haven, for example, has an Alchemy Machine in its Bazaar, its Arcade, and its Main Square.
Getting It Done
Once you've gathered the required materials, you can construct any recipe that is known to you at any Alchemy Machine. The process will expend your materials, as well as a small amount of Crowns and Energy. Note that crafting always succeeds, and there is no concept of crafting "skill": the Alchemy Machine does the tough work for you, and never fails! Technology is a wonderful thing.
Crafting Materials
Shards 
The most common crafting material found in The Clockworks, shards are tiny pieces of mineral which are too small for use in gate construction, but are well-suited to making equipment. Shards come in five colors, each corresponding to one of the common mineral types found on Cradle: Red Shards, Green Shards and Blue Shards are all readily available, while Light Shards and Dark Shards are a little rarer.
Scrap 
A number of Clockworks denizens are either made of or frequently utilize machinery, and thus when they are mercilessly beaten by roving bands of Spiral Knights, they have been known to drop pieces of scrap that are usable in crafting. Types of scrap you'll most likely encounter include Scrap Metal, Bronze Bolts and Iron Gears.
Cells 
Scavenged cells from broken or discarded machines are the most common way that Spiral Knights add elemental affinities to their equipment. Cells in good working order are somewhat rare finds in The Clockworks, but the types you are most likely to come across in your travels are the fiery Fuel Canister, the chilling Cooling Cell and the rather shocking Power Cell.
Gel 
The sentient jellies that roam the Clockworks' halls are made up of a quivering material that has a few practical uses when collected. The notion may seem disgusting to you, but when you've crash landed on a strange planet, you take what you can get! The most common type of gel material is the Gel Drop, followed by the slightly rarer Gel Core. It's said that both are rather delicious when prepared properly.
