[edit] A DDO Crafting Primer
Crafting, introduced with Module 6, is a new way to create and upgrade items, using ingredients gathered in various quests and raids. As currently implemented in DDO, it is all about ingredients and recipes. There are no skills, feats, or level-ups required, just farming for ingredients and then putting them together through the upgrade process to make and upgrade items and weapons. It is basically a "get tokens and customize your reward" system.

| The most basic level of crafting is available to all characters with access to the Marketplace or The Twelve. Next to the Marketplace Bank, and right outside the Twelve's Tower is found the Stone of Change. The Stone of Change is used to upgrade existing items (simple +5 Warhammer for example, those are not part of "special loot" through certain process). Currently there are not too many recipes enabled for the Stone of Change, but the developers have stated that this will change in the future.
The currently enabled Stone of Change recipes allow you following:
- Combination of Khyber Dragonshards and Siberys Dragonshards to the next tier
- Bind and Attune You can Attune an item at a Stone of Change.
Any equippable item can be placed into a Stone of Change with a number of Khyber Dragonshard Fragments to bind the item to the user and prepare it for the later addition of Eldritch Rituals. Binding and attuning an item requires (minimum level of item ^ 2) Khyber Dragonshard Fragments, so a minimum level 12 item would require 144 fragments. An item that is bound never takes permanent item damage when repaired, but can no longer be traded. Note that there is a bug for items without a minimum level which makes them require 400 fragments instead of 0. your items, so that they no longer take permanent damage
- Increase the durability and hardness of an item
- Add minor bonuses to your item, by spending collectible items
These are simple upgrades. For the full recipes, see Stone of Change - Recipes.

| Introduced in update 5, Guild crafting is an extension of the guild leveling and housing system. As a guild gains renown by completing quests, it gains access to crafting tables used in other areas of the game. In addition, certain items have a guild level attached to them along with (temporary) augmentation slots.

The major portion of Crafting in DDO is the Module 6 "Raid Loot" system, which is also referred to as the Green Steel Items. Green Steel Items are "blanks" that are manufactured, then upgraded through a series of crafting steps in The Shroud, which is a level 17 Raid area.
Green Steel Weapons are considered as high-end DPS gear, and you can create as many of them as you want. Green Steel Accessories are amazingly powerful as well, although you cannot equip more than one at a time without a certain cleansing process.
Access to Meridia, Tier 1 Favor with The Twelve (40 favor point), and completion of all 5 Pre-Raid quests in the Vale of Twilight are required.

Another (and maybe less popular) portion of Crafting is the Dragontouched Armor, introduced with Module 8. In Reaver's Refuge high level area, you can collect various "Eldritch Runes". By adding these Runes, you can create Armors, Robes and Docents of your own.
Some players criticize this system as a "Slot Machine" and the mechanism indeed works like that (what you get from Runes is pretty much random). But if you make it right and are lucky enough, the results will be pretty pleasant.
Access to Reaver's Refuge, completion of Stealer of Souls quest and its pre-quests are required.
