In-Game Crafting Overview

This section covers the in-game crafting rules: where crafting happens, how resources become usable materials, how recipes are read, how repairs work, and how Masterwork items are created.

Resources are raw materials gathered in the field. Most resources cannot be used in crafting until they are refined.

Certain resources are usable raw. If a resource says it does not need to be processed, it may be used directly in crafting.

Materials are refined or otherwise prepared resources. Materials are usable in crafting and are what recipe tables refer to when listing requirements.

TopicRule
Crafting LocationWeapons and armor are crafted at a Forge or in the Merchants’ Quarter.
Crafting TimeCrafting and repair time depends on your Craftsman Tier.

What Experiment! Is

Experiment! is an advanced crafting skill that lets a Craftsman add extra components to certain crafted items in an attempt to make the final item better.

In plain terms: you make the item, add special ingredients, and take a chance. The result might be stronger, more stable, more useful, or a little strange. It might also fail, waste materials, or go very badly.

Experimenting is for crafted items that specifically allow it. It is not used on every item automatically. Staff may decide which recipes, tags, or crafted goods can be improved through Experiment.
