Crafting Guide
Crafting lets you gather resources and turn them into materials, equipment, potions, tools, and other useful items. The main crafting room contains a trader and all of the workstations described in this guide.
- Basic crafting tools can be bought from the trader in the crafting room.
- Improved tools can be made through Weapon-Smithing. These tools increase your chance of success.
- To check your crafting leveling progress, open Journal β Crafting Skills.
- Standard recipes use the materials associated with their craft. Some recipes also need an extra component, usually gathered from a monster through Hunting, such as a boar tusk or a minotaur horn.
Difficulty colours
The name of a material or recipe is colour-coded to show its difficulty compared with your current crafting skill. From easier to harder, the colours are:
| Relative difficulty | Display colour |
|---|---|
| 1 β easiest | White |
| 2 | Green |
| 3 | Light blue |
| 4 | Dark blue |
| 5 β hardest | Red |
The colour is a relative guide, not a displayed percentage. Improving the relevant skill or using a better tool increases the chance of success.

Mining
Mining requires a pickaxe. Click boulders or mineral deposits in mines and dungeons to search for ore or gemstones.
After completing the mining cycle, the gathered ore can be taken to a Smelting Forge. A good starting location is the Old Mine occupied by goblins: travel one area south from Loftenwood, then continue east until you find the mine.
Mining materials
| Smithing ores | Precious-metal ores | Gemstones | Crafted item required level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper | Silver | Greenstone | 4 |
| Iron | Amethyst | 8 | |
| Syenite | Topaz | 12 | |
| Rubicite | Gold | Flame Opal | 16 |
| Verdicite | Sapphire | 20 | |
| Mithral | Ruby | 25 | |
| Adamantine | Platinum | Emerald | 30 |
| Myrkandite | Diamond | 35 |
Smelting
Smelting uses ores gathered through Mining to produce ingots. Smithing ores become ingots for Weapon-Smithing and Armor-Smithing. Silver, gold, and platinum are used mainly by Jewel-Making.
How to smelt
- Place suitable ore into the Smelting Forge.
- Choose the flame size. Smaller flames are more difficult but can produce more ingots.
- Complete the crafting interaction and collect the resulting ingots.
| Flame size | Difficulty modifier | Ingots gained |
|---|---|---|
| Largest flames | Basic recipe difficulty | 1 ingot |
| Medium flames | Difficulty increased by 1 level | 1β2 ingots |
| Smallest flames | Difficulty increased by 2 levels | 1β3 ingots |
Medium and small flames can award more crafting experience because they increase the recipe difficulty.
Smelting materials
| Input group | Confirmed examples | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Smithing ores | Copper, Iron, Syenite, Rubicite, Verdicite, Mithral, Adamantine, Myrkandite | Matching ingots |
| Precious-metal ores | Silver, Gold, Platinum | Matching ingots for Jewel-Making |
Weapon-Smithing
Weapon-Smithing requires a blacksmith's hammer and an anvil. Use ingots and any recipe-specific components on the anvil, choose a recipe family, and complete the crafting interaction. Weapon-Smithing also creates improved crafting tools, which increase the chance of success in their associated crafts.

Jewel-Making
Jewel-Making is a three-stage craft. A gem-cutting chisel is used to cut gemstones, precious-metal ingots are formed into jewellery settings, and the finished components are assembled at the Jeweller's Table.
1. Cut gemstones
Use a Gem Cutter to cut a mineral gemstone into one of four shapes:
- Square
- Sphere
- Navette
- Radiant
2. Make jewellery settings
Use silver, gold, or platinum ingots at the Mould Machine to create a ring or amulet setting.
3. Assemble the item
Combine a cut gemstone with the appropriate setting at the Jeweller's Table. The Jeweller's Table is also used to create staves and off-hand accessories.
Materials
| Stage | Materials | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Gem cutting | Greenstone, Amethyst, Topaz, Flame Opal, Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Diamond | Square, Sphere, Navette, or Radiant cut gemstone |

Hunting
Hunting requires a skinning knife. Use it on suitable animal or monster remains to gather skins and other components.
Each skin tier has small, medium, and large variants. Different animals provide different sizes and tiers. Hunting can also produce monster parts used by Alchemy, as well as rarer components required by selected recipes in other crafts.
Skin tiers and animals
| Skin quality | Small skin | Medium skin | Large skin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poor quality | Rabbit | Badger | Deer |
| Average | Boar | Hyena | Brown Bear |
| Quality | Dire Boar | Dire Wolf | Dire Bear |
| Above average | Cave Boar | Shadow Mastiff | Grizzly Bear |
| Superior | Sewer Rat | Worg | Tiger |
| First-rate | Polar Boar | Shadow Beast | Polar Bear |
| Masterful | Malar Bat | Malar Panther | Dire Tiger |
Hunting can also produce monster parts used by Alchemy, as well as rarer components required by selected recipes in other crafts. Examples include a boar tusk or minotaur horn.
Tanning
Tanning converts skins gathered through Hunting into materials ready for Sewing.
How to tan skins
- Use the Curing Tub to create cured skins.
- Use the Hide Rack to turn cured skins into materials ready for Sewing.
