Crafting is one of the artisan classes in Ashes of Creation. It is a driving force for the game economy.

Crafting mechanics

• Crafting is recipe based. Not RNG based.
• Players are able to specialize in focused crafting branches.
• A player's name is be embedded in the item they craft.
• Crafting stations can be located on freeholds or within nodes.

Artisan supply chain

Artisans within Ashes of Creation must choose a path in their artisan skill tree. This inter-dependency establishes a supply chain from raw materials to finished product. Each stage of the chain may require caravans to transport goods from one artisan to another.

1. Obtaining raw materials:
   • Using the Gathering profession.
   • By killing mobs and bosses.
   • From deconstructing weapons or armor.
   • By purchasing them from other players.
2. Refining the raw materials with the Processing profession.
3. Crafting the finished product using its crafting recipe.
   • Recipes are also obtainable from boss drops.

As a crafter you're going to want to know where certain recipes can be fulfilled; which nodes have the capability of creating what you've processed material that you've gathered for; and then you're going to want to plan out your route to either transit the goods there or make sure that you're situated in the area so that you can go out collect and build in that area as well. So there's a lot of planning that's going to be necessary. – Steven Sharif

Upgrading items

• Over-enchanting items may come with a potential risk that the item is destroyed.
