'''Crafting''' is a term that refers to a character creating items that are related to the [[skills]] possessed, the level of those skills, the [[ingredients]] employed, and the [[tools]] used to create them. Some of the items created by crafting are your run of the mill items, such as: tools, [[furniture]], [[clothing]], etc. However, there is a chance that some of the items that are crafted by the most skilled tradesmen and women will be unrivaled.
+
Basic items can be crafted with the crafting skill's main [[Resources]] and the correct [[Tools]] for the profession.

==Intermediate Crafting==

There are [[Skills]], [[Tools]], and [[Items]] that can enhance crafting to increase the quality and function of [[Gear]] crafted.
 +
===Skills===
 +
* [[Arms Lore]] increases the "Damage Increase" quality of Exceptional crafted [[Weapons]] and the amount of [[Resists]] for crafted [[Armor]].
 +
* [[Imbuing]] allows adding specific [[Item Properties]] based upon gear type.
 +
===Tools===
 +
* [[Runic Tools]] are used to create an enhanced version of any crafted [[Gear]]; the properties added will be random. However, a Runic Tool can be used with the Imbuing skill near a [[Soulforge]] to [[Runic Re-Forging|Reforge]] an existing item at the expense of using additional charges of the tool, and can give some control of the type of Item Properties added.
 +
===Items===
 +
* [[Armor refinement]] is done to change the resists of [[Armor]] either to increase the Max Resists for the Player wearing it at the cost of lowering [[Defence Chance Increase]] or, to raise [[DCI]] at the cost of lowering Max [[Resists]] for the player wearing it.
 +
* [[Whetstone of Enervation]] is used to remove the [[Damage Increase]] property from an [[Exceptional]] crafted item, which removes the Imbue weight of the property and frees up the slot, since only 5 properties can be on gear unless it's [[Loot]] from a monster.
 +
* [[Powder of Fortification]] is used to increase the current and maximum durability of an item by 10 for each charge.
 +
* [[Forged Metal Of Artifacts]] is used to guarantee success on Enhancement and is only available in the UO Store.

In addition to the resources needed to create magic items, be they special wood or rare gems, a [[Runic]] Kit of your profession must be used to create such items.

==Advanced Crafting==
 +
This is a basic breakdown of the process.
 +
Crafted verse purchased gear: Crafted items of Exceptonal Quality have a higher [[Imbuing Property Weights|Imbue Weight]] cap than non-exceptional/purchased items, but, they also have properties added to them that use some of that added Imbue Weight.

** For Higher resists should have GM [[Arms Lore]] for the Resist boost.

** Leather are made with [[Resources|Spined Leather]] giving +9 Physical Resist.

** Metal are made with [[Resources|Gold Ingots]] giving +2 Resists to Physical and Fire, and +3 Resists to Cold and Energy. Zero (0) Resist bonus for Poison.
 +
** Enhancing is the last step, and risks breaking the item based upon success checks against the Resists that are being added to the armor.

*** For Leather, lower Physical Resist at crafting = higher success at Enhancing.

Crafting is a term that refers to a character creating items that are related specific skills, ingredients , and tools used to create them. There are four(4) basic purposes to crafting: Armor & clothing, Weapons, furniture, and Consumables such as food or potions. Basic items can be crafted with the crafting skill's main Resources and the correct Tools for the profession.

Crafting Skills

Alchemy Blacksmithy Carpentry Cartography Cooking Bowcraft & Fletching Inscription Tailoring Tinkering
Primary Resources Reagents and Empty Bottle Metal Wood Blank Scroll and Reagents Food Wood Blank Scroll Cloth and Leather Metal and Wood
Secondary Resources Peerless Regeant Cloth, Wood, Peerless Metal, Cloth, Skills, Peerless Crafted and purchased items Oven, Water Peerless, Gem Rune Peerless Gems, Cloth, Skills, Bulk Order Deed Rewards

Gathering Skills

Resources for these crafts are normally gained by using a related "Gathering" skill:

  • Anglers for Cooking and is done using a Fishing Pole. The skill is located in the "Wild" section of skills
  • Lumberjacks for Carpentry, Fletching, and Tinkering by using any type of axe on any tree.
  • Miners for Blacksmithing and Tinkering by using a pickaxe or shovel on a mountain or cave floor. Mining has three (3) subcategories of skills:
    • Mining for Quality Stone is done through reading a book purchased from the Stone Crafter in Ter Mur's Royal City. It is activated through a context menu by clicking on the a Pickaxe or Shovel and selecting an option for mining granite.
    • Find Glass-Quality Sand is done through reading a book purchased from the Alchemist in Ter Mur's Royal City. It is automatically done by using a pickaxe or shovel on a sandy area of the main action screen.
    • Mining for Quality Gems is done through reading a book purchased from the Blacksmith in Ter Mur's Royal City. It is automatically done by using a pickaxe or shovel when digging for ore.

Craftable Artifacts

There are advanced items that may require a recipe to learn, and some that need Peerless Regeant allowing them to make "Crafted Artifact," such as:

Secondary Skills

There are three(3) subcategories of crafting that require buying a book to use from the appropriate vendor in Ter Mur. Those vendors are also the only source for the tool required to use the two of those crafts.

Intermediate Crafting

There are Skills, Tools, and Items that can enhance crafting to increase the quality and function of Gear crafted.

Skills

Tools

  • Runic Tools are used to create an enhanced version of any crafted Gear; the properties added will be random. However, a Runic Tool can be used with the Imbuing skill near a Soulforge to Reforge an existing item at the expense of using additional charges of the tool, and can give some control of the type of Item Properties added.

  • A Salvage Bag can be purchased from a Provisioner NPC to automatically uncraft Tailor and/or Blacksmith crafted items, if you have the necessary tool to do so.

Publish 106 changes

Starting with Publish 106, new recipes call for rare artifacts as ingredients to create new items. There is an argument that, without adding additional properties to the newly created items, this should just be a "new skin" for the old artifact (commonly called a "transmog"). With this publish, the Crimson Cincture and Leurocian's Mempo of Fortune are ingredients for the Crimson Belts (Crimson Mace Belt, Crimson Sword Belt, and Crimson Dagger Belt) and the Elegant Collar of Fortune, respectively.

Furthermore, items previously used only in Imbuing (such as the Fey Wings) are called upon as ingredients. Items with no discernible use, like the Lodestone, are also being added to the ingredients list.
