Cannith Crafting

General Crafting
Introduced in Update 9, this new crafting system will allow players to construct completely customized weapons, shields, armor, jewelery, and clothing! This system is being introduced in a state of live beta, and will be changing throughout Updates 9 and 10. source

Overview
The general crafting process consists of three steps:
 * In step 1, items with magical properties can be deconstructed into essences, or stripped of magical properties to create a blank item. Essences and most blanks are not bound and can be freely traded; blanks created from items which are bound to account are still bound to account.
 * In step 2, magical effect shards can be crafted from essences. Each shard represents one weapon, clothing or armor enhancement. Currently, all crafted shards are bound to character.
 * In step 3, blank items are combined with shards to create the final item. Currently, all crafted items are bound to character. However, items crafted from bound to account blanks are still bound to account, not character.

All three steps require crafting devices and the deconstruction of items additionally requires special reagents. Players may visit the Crafting Hall in House Kundarak to find crafting devices and reagent vendors.

The crafting of shards requires an appropriate crafting level, depending on the type of shard. The crafting level can be increased by gaining crafting XP, awarded for crafting (lower level) shards.

Known Issues
Crafting cap is limited to 50 on live at the moment, 75 on Lamannia

Many effects are bugged and/or missing, including
 * paralyzing
 * force
 * force burst
 * metalline (metalline shard recipe missing)
 * +5 enhancement bonus (level 70 recipe, so unable to craft at this time)
 * vorpal (missing)

{List should be updated as more properties are found to be missing or bugged in such a way so as to be unusable.}

Items eligible to be deconstructed
Only non-named equipment originally found as treasure or received as rewards is craftable. Named items, some(?) DDO Store purchased, vendor purchased, and some Collectable turn-in reward items are not craftable.

Craftable examples:

 * +1 Silver Longsword from a chest or quest end reward, pulled by someone else, and then sold to you via the Auction House or a Pawn Broker
 * +5 Goggles of Disabling from a quest chain reward (from Delera's etc) - Note these currently maintain their BTA status after crafting instead of becoming BTC. This is a known bug
 * Random weapons and armor from turning in collectables:
 * 1 Glowmoss Clump or Oceanic Sphere (Also gives Greater Essences like in a chest)
 * Swamp Pearl(s)
 * Abbot's Ring
 * +1 Blessed Silver Longsword from the DDO Store (Confirmed)
 * Silver-studded and cold-iron studded handwraps (Very rare, and not bound, from Devil Assault on Normal or Hard difficulties).

Not Craftable:

 * (Error): Only equipment originally found as treasure or received as rewards is craftable. (Named items and vendor purchased items are not craftable.)


 * Named Items (i.e. Silver Longbow, Carnifex)
 * Any item with an enhancement bonus (including masterwork) purchased from a Vendor's Shop.*
 * Low ML item reward from the Lordsmarch Plaza collectible vendors. bug? (i.e. +3 Adamantine Heavy Mace of Monstrous Humanoid Bane ML:6)


 * - There is currently a bug allowing items purchased from Hammer and Chain shop in the harbor to be made craftable. This allows a (albeit) short term opportunity to apply these shards to inexpensive items then deconstruct these items again for limited returns.

Items able to craft
"Magic arrows and potions certainly may come later"
 * Shards (meta-items) BtC
 * weapons (including handwraps) BtC
