Crafting

Crafting, introduced with Module 6, is, simply put, a way to create and/or upgrade custom magic items. Any character, of any class, can become a "Crafter" - it is not exclusive to spellcasters etc. Crafters advance through increasing tiers of ability, each allowing them to add more powerful magical attributes to the item. These attributes are added individually, stage by stage, through to the final finished stage (in most cases an extra special effect.)

In most cases you begin crafting by using ingredients gathered in quests, raids (and their end rewards) or wilderness rare chests.

The exception to this rule is Cannith Crafting. This is the only type of crafting that can be improved via your character skills, feats, and level-ups. A Cannith Crafter begins by preparing a base item (that you have acquired by looting or trade) and then begin upgrading it with ingredients which are (dependent on the crafting type) crafted themselves, bought from a crafting vendor or found in raids or quests. (For example, alchemical ingredients are crafted by you, breaking unwanted items into their magical parts requires a (minor) vendor purchase, and shroud ingredients must be looted those from chests in that quest.)
