Crafting

Crafting is a crucial gameplay feature in the Stash RPG and is used to create more items. Crafted weapons, armor, food, or potions are the best quality goods in the land of Primordiax.

Recipes

To craft anything you will have to learn a recipe first. When you first learn a craft from a Craftmaster, they teach you a recipe to start with.

• You can only learn recipes of crafts you possess, if you don't have the corresponding craft you won't be able to learn a recipe even if you own it.
• Only recipes of the required crafting level can be learned. You won't be able to learn a recipe of higher crafting level even if you own it.
• New recipes become available every 5 levels of craft, Enchanter and Maker can learn new recipes every 10 levels of craft.
  • There are no crafted items of levels inbetween the pace of 5 e.g. of levels 3,4,8,12,21,33,39 etc. ergo no recipes for them. Although a gear level can be enhanced.
• Looting is the only way to acquire new recipes. You can find recipes as a generic loot from chests. To learn a recipe, move it to your inventory and click "use". Once your recipe book is full, you cannot learn anymore recipes unless you delete one of them or add more pages to the recipe book (available at the medallion shop).
  • level 1 recipes drop from mobs of levels 1-4
  • level 5 recipes drop from mobs of levels 5-9
  • level 10 recipes drop from mobs of levels 10-14
  • level 15 recipes drop from mobs of levels 15-19
  • etc.

List of Crafts

Each character can choose to become one of the following:

• Alchemist - crafts potions
• Armorer - crafts armor
• Chef - crafts food and bait
• Enchanter - crafts enchantments
• Maker - crafts equipment, implements, cloth and decorations
• Weaponsmith - crafts weapons

Picking a Craft

Tip: when choosing a craft, it’s a good idea to also develop a complementary gathering skills to go with it. For example, alchemists use a lot of herbs and gems so if you go this route you may want to stick with herbalism and lapidary as your primary gathering skills.

The Craftmasters are on the first road to the right when you enter the town of Askagard, near market stalls. To practice a craft, you’ll need to go the appropriate Craftmaster and learn it.

Later, if you decide you don’t like the craft you’ve chosen and want to pick another one instead, you’ll have to first visit a Craftmaster and forget your current craft. Then, when you’re craftless, you can choose a new one. Note: you will forfeit all experience and learned recipes related to the forgotten craft if you do so. Number of crafts you can learn at a time can be increased by purchasing additional Crafting Skill Slot from the Medallion Shop. There is no limit on how many crafts you can practice at a time.

Getting Crafting Equipment

After you've picked a craft, you’ll then need to go buy the tools of your trade before you can practice it. For instance, if you’re a Chef, you’ll need a spoon and a stove. You can buy these items at Zieri’s Wares, a shop located close to the Craftmasters in Askagard, near market stalls. If you’re not sure which tools you need, just hover your mouse over each tool and read its description. Tools and stations above tier 1 are only player-made and are crafted by Makers.

Tools And Workstations

Craft	Tool	Station
Alchemist	Mortar and Pestle	Alchemist Table
Armorer	Mallet	Foundry
Chef	Spoon	Stove
Enchanter	Loupe	Infuser
Maker	Lathe	Workbench
Weaponsmith	Hammer	Forge

The number of crafting stations you can have is effected by your Base of Operations level.

BOO Level	Workstations placeable
1	1
3	2
8	3
13	4
18	5

Crafting tools need to be placed in your BOO stash to be usable.

Workstations need to be placed in your BOO stash before being installed in the Base of Operations area.

Quality

Main purpose of crafting is to get items of higher quality. Because of the better quality, crafted items are utterly more demanded than those looted from chests. Weapons of better quality inflict more damage, and armor items provide better defense. Crafted foods restore more Health and Mana and can be kept in larger stacks than those bought from vendors, which greatly saves inventory space.

Crafting speed

Base speed of crafting a level 1 item is 30 seconds, and the time is increased by 150 seconds per every 5 levels required to craft the item.

For every 1 point of skill the player has over the skill level required to craft the item, speed bonus is 1% (up to a maximum of 20%).

Crafting time can be skipped by paying Medallions.

Tier	Tool Prefix	Station Prefix	Craft per Station	Base Crafting Time
1(recipes LVL01-05)	Starter	Simple	1	30 sec (LVL1) - 150 sec (LVL5)
2(recipes LVL10-15)	Beginner	Beginner	2	300 sec (LVL10) - 450 sec (LVL15)
3(recipes LVL20-25)	Novice	Novice	3	600 sec (LVL20) - 750 sec (LVL25)
4(recipes LVL30-35)	Intermediate	Great	4	900 sec (LVL30) - 1050 sec (LVL35)

Crafting Experience

Crafting experience is based on the number of materials used, tier of the item being crafted and your crafting skill tier. When you craft an item, each unit of material used will give you 10 experience (100%) if the item being crafted is of the same tier as your crafting skill tier, 5 experience (50%) if of one tier below your current crafting skill tier, and no more experience if of two tiers below your current crafting skill tier.

E.g. your crafting skill level is 23 (crafting skill tier 3), then you will get:

• 10 experience per unit of material if you craft an item that requires crafting level 20 (crafting skill tier 3),
• 5 experience per unit of material if you craft an item that requires crafting level 10 or 15 (crafting skill tier 2),
• 0 experience per unit of material if you craft an item that requires crafting level 1 or 5 (crafting skill tier 1).

• As Maker's work is needed to create all other crafting tools and stations, Maker's Workbench and Lathe can be crafted a tier earlier.

Tips:

• You can have multiple workstations, such as stoves or foundries, so you can make several items at once (the number you can have is dependent on your BOO level). You'll only need one crafting tool e.g. a spoon if you're a chef, to use all stations from the same craft.
• Every 10 craft levels, you will need to upgrade your tools and workstations for higher level equipment (bought from players only, NPCs do not sell higher than tier 1)
• Don't throw away your crafting disasters! Take them to the Salvage Machine in Askagard. You may get some rare, fabled or legendary crafting ingredients from the machine (salvaging disasters costs 5 triads per unit).
• If you choose to be a chef or an enchanter, your workstations will need to be placed in the interior of your BOO. This means your BOO needs to be at least level 2 to start crafting with these professions.
