Recipe System
Recipe Scrolls
You need the matching Recipe Scroll before you can craft an item. You can find scrolls as enemy loot, buy them from merchants, or trade for them with other players.
Learning a scroll consumes it and permanently adds the recipe to your known recipes. After that, you can craft the item whenever you have enough materials.
Some scrolls are rare and come only from pocket-dimension bosses or kingdom achievements. Players and kingdoms may value crafters who know these recipes because they unlock powerful equipment.
Craftable Items
Recipe Categories
Recipes are grouped by what they create. Each category uses different materials, and specialized crafting skills may improve the results.
| Category | Primary Materials | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Weapons | Ingots, Leather, Wood | Swords, Axes, Bows, Staves |
| Armor | Ingots, Leather, Cloth | Helmets, Chestplates, Greaves |
| Buildings | Wood, Stone, Brick | Towers, Forges, Storehouses |
| Consumables | Herbs, Oils, Essences | Potions, Bandages, Scrolls |
| Tools | Wood, Ingots | Pickaxes, Hatchets, Lanterns |
Some categories unlock more recipes as your crafting skill improves. For example, a mid-level smith may work with iron, while mythril and enchanted ores require higher skill levels.
Resource Quality
Materials & Tiers
Raw materials gathered from the world must often be refined before use in crafting. Ores must be smelted into ingots, hides must be tanned into leather, and wood must be processed into planks.
| Tier | Raw Material | Refined Form | Used For |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | Copper Ore, Rough Hide | Copper Ingot, Leather | Starter equipment |
| II | Iron Ore, Thick Hide | Iron Ingot, Hardened Leather | Standard equipment |
| III | Steel Ore, Pristine Hide | Steel Ingot, Fine Leather | Quality equipment |
| IV | Mythril Ore, Dragon Hide | Mythril Ingot, Dragon Leather | Elite equipment |
| V | Void Crystal, Abyssal Essence | Void Ingot, Abyssal Leather | Legendary equipment |
Higher-tier materials produce stronger equipment but require more crafting skill. Rare materials may also require specialized tools or forge upgrades.
Crafting Station
The Forge
You need access to a forge to smelt ore and craft metal equipment. You can build a forge on claimed territory or use one in a friendly settlement.
Forges require fuel to operate. Common fuel includes wood and coal, while some legendary recipes require rare fuel such as dragon breath or phoenix feathers. Fuel quality does not change crafting speed or results. Each recipe simply consumes a set amount.
Kingdom forges can be upgraded to help everyone who uses them. A fully upgraded Grand Forge reduces material costs by 10% and increases the chance of producing a higher-quality item.
Enhancement
Upgrade Paths
The upgrade system raises equipment stats above their starting values. Each item can reach +10, with every level adding a stat bonus.
Upgrading requires upgrade stones of the appropriate tier. The chance of success decreases at higher upgrade levels, and failure may result in the item losing upgrade levels or, at extreme tiers, breaking entirely.
| Upgrade Level | Success Rate | Failure Penalty |
|---|---|---|
| +1 to +3 | 100% | None (guaranteed) |
| +4 to +6 | 75% | -1 level on failure |
| +7 to +9 | 50% | -2 levels on failure |
| +10 | 25% | Item destroyed on failure |
Protection scrolls can prevent an item from being destroyed during a +10 attempt, but they are rare and expensive. Consider stopping at +9 if the item would be difficult to replace.
