Where Materials Come From
Materials fall into six groups: Ore (Orichalcum), Gems (Sapphire, Diamond, Ruby), Logs (Asvata, Yggdrasil), Herbs, Cooking Ingredients, and Odyle. You gather them using Essence Extraction skills, and some are also sold on the market. Odyle is especially useful, since it feeds equipment recipes and Substance Morph conversions.
What Is Substance Morph?
Think of it as a conversion station. Each recipe lists its inputs, output, and success rate. It’s separate from profession crafting, so it won’t replace the ingredients your gear recipes need. Common uses include:
- Upgrading lower-rarity items into higher-rarity versions
- Converting lower-tier Power Shards into better ones
- Creating higher-tier wings with materials like Sealed Wing Featherdown and Pure Odyle
- Turning raw gatherables into refined components, which can be cheaper than buying them
What Is Transfer Crafting?
Transfer Crafting lets you re-forge an item you already have. You provide the existing piece plus extra materials, and you get a higher-tier version. For example, a True Dragon Lord Breastplate can become a Splendent version while keeping its enhancement levels. Certain top-tier weapons and armor from Armorsmithing, Handicrafting and Blacksmithing come this way.
Smart Crafting Tips
- Gather Odyle regularly. It’s needed in several systems.
- Choose your profession by class: Handicrafting suits Ranger and Chanter weapons, while Armorsmithing covers armor for everyone.
- Look for Splendent versions. A successful proc upgrades your crafted item by one quality tier.
- Compare costs. Sometimes morphing raw materials is cheaper than buying refined ones.
