—In-game description

Crafting is the process of turning component items, such as crafting materials into weapons and armor or enchanting normal items with item bonuses. There are seven skills associated with crafting and each crafting sheet lists which skills are required for the recipe. In most cases, crafted items have the "Elite" prefix in the name.

Blacksmiths & Tools

Primary article: Crafting Tool

You can craft items yourself using kits and the Manufacture skill or at a Blacksmith NPC located in major cities. Using an NPC is recommended at lower levels but may cost more money long-term.

Recipes

Primary article: Crafting Sheet

There are a variety of crafting sheets / recipes; some can be bought from shops in town, but most are found as loot from monsters. Each sheet can tell you what item it can craft or enchant, the required crafting level and skills, and the necessary crafting materials for the recipe. The list of requirements vary depending on the sheet's use.

Crafting window

The crafting window can be opened by interacting with a Blacksmith NPC or by using the Manufacture skill. When interacting with a Blacksmith, you can choose to Craft or Enchant but the windows are virtually the same - the only visible difference being the button at the bottom.

The player must place the appropriate items in the crafting window to craft or upgrade items. Attempting to place the incorrect item will highlight the slot red and prevent placement.

  • The crafting sheet and crafting tool (if needed) can be placed in the sheet slot (top left) and tool slot (top right).
  • Once a sheet is placed, the material slots are populated with the named crafting materials needed for the recipe - those items can be placed in their corresponding material slots.
  • If upgrading an item, the desired item must also be placed in the item slot (center).

Once the window is filled with the necessary items, clicking the Craft / Enchant button at the bottom will consume the crafting items to attempt the action. See the Success or Failure sections for more information on crafting results.

Manufacturing items

The process of manufacturing items is fairly straightforward at its core: a player must get a crafting sheet, collect its required materials, unlock the appropriate skills, then create the item. There are many craftable armor, weapon, and mystical items. See Upgrading items for more information.

To craft an item:

  1. Open the crafting window by interacting with a Blacksmith or using the Manufacture skill.
  2. Place the necessary items in their respective slots:
    • Tool: Manufacturing Kit
    • Sheet: Crafting Sheet
    • Material(s): Crafting Material(s)
  3. Click Craft

Success or Failure

Skill XP is earned for the recipe's required skills, regardless of success or failure.

Success: Creating the item consumes the sheet, materials, and an amount of money.
Dialogue: "Success" is displayed in chat.
Failure: Failing to create the item consumes the sheet, materials, and an amount of money.
Dialogue: "Failed to create the item." is displayed in chat.

Upgrading items

The process of upgrading items involves using sheets to enchant items with item bonuses or increasing their base attack and defense. Similar to manufacturing: a player must get a crafting sheet for the desired item type, collect its required materials, unlock the appropriate skills, then upgrade the item. See Manufacturing items for more information.

Upgrade Crafting Sheets: Level 1 Magic Accessory SheetLevel 3 Rare Armor SheetLevel 5 Magic Mystical SheetArmor Enchanting SheetSoul Weapon Enchanting Sheet

While upgrading and enchanting are terms used interchangeably, below are the distinctions for clarifying what each action requires.

  • Upgrading increases the rarity by adding item bonuses to stats and attributes.
    • When adding item bonuses, the color of the item name changes to reflect the rarity (Magic or Rare).
  • Enchanting increases the item's attack or defense stats specifically, adds +X to the end of the name, and can add a glow effect to the model of the item.
    • Enchanting an item to +3 is guaranteed success, but every increase after that (max. +10) has an exponentially higher chance of failure.
      • Failed enchantments can result in only the sheet being consumed, and retaining the item, or the item might also be destroyed in the process.

To upgrade an item:

  1. Open the crafting window by interacting with a Blacksmith or using the Manufacture skill.
  2. Place the necessary items in their respective slots:
    • Tool: Upgrade Kit
    • Sheet: Magical or Rare Crafting Sheet
    • Material(s): Crafting Material(s)
    • Item: Item to be enchanted
  3. Click Enchant

To enchant an item:

  1. Open the crafting window by interacting with a Blacksmith or using the Manufacture skill.
  2. Place the necessary items in their respective slots:
    • Tool: Blessing Stone
    • Sheet: Enchanting Crafting Sheet
    • Item: Item to be enchanted
  3. Click Enchant

Success or Failure

Skill XP is earned for the recipe's required skills, regardless of success or failure.

Success: Upgrading the item consumes the sheet, materials, and an amount of money.
Dialogue: "Success" is displayed in chat.
Failure: Failing to upgrade the item consumes the sheet, materials, an amount of money, and potentially the item itself.
Dialogue: "Failed to upgrade the item." is displayed in chat. need infoConfirm?
  • When using Enchanting Sheets, failure has a chance of destroying the item when failing to upgrade past a +3 enchantment.
    • +3 enchantment has guaranteed success, +4 or higher (max. +10) has a chance of destroying the item.
