Crafting Update

You can now craft all armor sets from Familiar level to Master level. Crafting these armor sets will require two things:

• Raw components salvaged from existing rare armor
• Reagents that drop off of Bosses both within dungeons and in the open world

 
Anyone can craft although you will need to be a Veteran Armorsmith in order to craft or salvage Master-level gear.

 

Components

Armor of all tiers have a very similar recipe to craft them:

• 2 Paddings
• 2 Reinforcements
• 2 Patterns
• 1 Reagent
   

Paddings and Reinforcements can be used for any gear slot for that level. Patterns are slot specific and can only be crafted or salvage from the slot type you are looking to build.
As an example, a Proficient Warlord Helmet has the recipe of: 2 Proficient Paddings, 2 Proficient Reinforcements, 2 Proficient Helmet Patterns, 1 Fuloran's Eye

You can get these components by crafting them or by salvaging them.

 

Salvaging

Salvaging is a way to break down existing items into components so you can acquire higher level gear. You can salvage an item by using a Salvage Tool which is sold by Beral. Salvage Tools are not repair or rechargeable, so make sure you use those charges wisely!

Salvaging an item will roll a 50% chance against each component that makes up the item. So, if an item has 6 components, you will get a 50% chance at each of those components, with a guarantee of at least one component salvaged. Reagents cannot be salvaged.

Salvaging only works on items in our new crafting system. If you try to salvage something that isn't craftable you will get nothing back.
 

Crafting Components

You can salvage items at a lower tier (e.g. Proficient) to craft items of a higher tier (e.g. Expert) by crafting and upgrading components.

The upgrade cost is 3 of a lower tier's components is equal to 1 of the higher tier's components.

For example, it will take me Three Proficient Paddings to craft One Expert Padding. This is the main way where you can upgrade your gear to the next tier.

 

Armorsmithing Tools

There are four different Armorsmithing Tools sold by Beral, each with a cost proportional to the item you are trying to make. Armorsmithing hammers cannot be repaired and can only be used to craft items from the tier it belongs to.

For example, a Familiar Armorsmithing Tool can only craft familiar level gear or components.

 

Reagents

Reagents are special items that drop off of both Open World Bosses and Dungeon Bosses. Every item (even Familiar level) requires a Reagent to be crafted. Drop rates for these items are proportional to the spawn rate of the monster who drops it and the armor level that the reagent is for. A Familiar-level reagent will drop very frequently whereas a Master-level reagent will be far more rare.

For reagents that drop off open world bosses, they also drop (at a lower rate) within specific heroic dungeons as well.

FAQ

Is crafted armor any different than ones found in dungeons?
Crafted gear is equivalent to dropped gear in that:

• They are bind on equip
• They are the exact same power level (i.e. no additional stat bonuses)

 
Is the craft guaranteed?
Yes, you cannot fail to make the item as long as you have all the necessary components.

 
What is this Mabonite and how do I get it?
Mabonite is a raw component that is generated by failing to enchant items. It can also be acquired by salvaging components. If you are short on Mabonite, try salvaging a Familiar component - I hear they are rich in Mabonite!

 
Do you still gain experience via crafting?
Yes you do and, in fact, the experience you gain from crafting has been significantly increased as an incentive.

 
Can we see a list of all the reagents and where to get them?
Where's the fun in that!

 
Is stamina still a thing?
Yes you will be limited by stamina to craft just as it was in the previous crafting system.

 
Do I need to be a Noble Citizen to craft?
You do not need to be a noble citizen to craft however you will need to be a noble citizen to learn Veteran Armorcrafting which is required for Master-level gear.

 
What about Weaponcrafting?
If this system works well for Armor then weapon crafting would follow in its footsteps shortly.
