Crafting is the art of making your own gear using recipes that you bought, found, or earned. With the right amount of crafting skill you can make some of the best gear in the game. Of course, crafting does come with a price tag and takes time and Runes of Magic Gold. Crafting may not be for everyone and we recommend taking a break from long periods of crafting due to frustration or eye strain.

Gathering: To begin crafting successfully, you must learn how to gather your materials. There are resource nodes all over the world of Taborea in the form of Herbs, Wood, and Ore. Depending on your gathering skill you are limited to different tiers of the above 3. Tier 1 starts at 0, Tier 2 = 8, Tier 3 = 16, and so on. You learn how to gather as part of a chain quest in the starting zone around Level 3.

Once you gathered enough materials, you have to refine them first before applying it to your creations. Pick up a refining recipe from each Crafting NPC. It takes 2 materials to create a green refined item and 6 to make a blue refined item. You gain experience in each Gathering skill you have for refining them. Though they only amount to a small increase unlike Gathering which nets a huge amount.

Production: There are many disciplines to go into, each have their own set of recipes in which you can craft items. Learning and making an item recipe comes with a price tag which increases the higher your recipe level is. Alchemy, Cooking, Tailoring, Armor Crafting, Blacksmithing, and Carpentry are the main production skills you can learn. There are many tiers in learning and only one skill can be claimed as Master. To make an item, just go to a crafting station (ex. Armor Crafting), right-click the skill in your Skill interface. It'll bring up a window that lets you decide what you want to craft today, clicking on a learned recipe will bring up what materials are needed to craft this item. If you have enough you can hit the craft button below to start. You can set up a max number or a custom number of items to make.

Recipes: You can learn different recipes from your respective crafting NPC. There are also special recipes from different NPCs, and ones that are dropped by mobs. To learn a recipe that dropped for you, just right click the recipe scroll and thats it.

Crafting Items: Every so often you'll get Runes of Magic Gold a recipe which requires a special item besides materials that you gathered. In Alchemy you may need a test tube or bottle, Cooking may require a special ingredient only available at a Grocer or Food Supplier, and some may demand a crafting rune (Link, Frost, Combine, Disenchant, etc.). Crafting runes are found all over Taborea from mob drops and are always available in good supply.
