Cannith Crafting steps

Items eligible to be Deconstructed
Only non-named equipment originally found as treasure or received as rewards can be deconstructed. Named items, some(?) DDO Store purchased, vendor purchased, and some Collectable turn-in reward items cannot be deconstructed. Crafted shards can also be deconstructed again.

Can be Deconstructed

 * +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, Bind to Account from a quest chain reward (from Delera's Tomb 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:
 * 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).
 * Shard of Power from The Shroud or the new Customizable Trinket (BtC rare drop from any chest, and available on the DDO Store) are craftable trinkets.

Cannot be Deconstructed

 * (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)
 * Shard of Great Power and Shard of Supreme Power from The Shroud are not craftable.
 * - There is currently a bug allowing items purchased from Hammer and Chain shop in the Harbor to be made craftable.

Crafting Order
Any item can have one to three properties:
 * The item itself (weapon, ring, cloak, etc.)
 * A prefix effect (Clever, Vorpal, Holy, etc.)
 * A suffix effect (Everbright, Springing, Pure Good, etc.)

Armor, Shields, and Weapons can additionally have:
 * An Enhancement Bonus (+1 to +5)
 * A special material type (Adamantine, Byeshk, Cold Iron, Darkleaf, Darkwood, Densewood, Flametouched Iron, Mithral, or Silver)

Metalline is a prefix, not a material type.

1. Preparing a Blank Item (a.k.a. "Disjuncting", or Stripping)

 * 1) Start with an non-named item, such as a +1 Longsword.
 * 2) Buy Dust of Disjunction at the Master Craftsman.
 * 3) Combine the dust and the item in the Item Deconstruction Device

Any prefix, suffix, enhancement bonus, and race restriction will be stripped away, but metal properties, guild augment slots, previous eldrich rituals, and permanent damage will remain. The item description will also show the property "Craftable". If the item was not BtC before the process, the item will remain tradeable.

Examples:
 * Using Dust of Disjunction on a +1 Longsword will yield a basic longsword.
 * Using Dust of Disjunction on a +5 Vorpal Longsword of Deception will also yield a basic longsword.
 * Using Dust of Disjunction on a +2 Byeshk Handaxe will yield a Byeshk Handaxe.
 * Using Dust of Disjunction on a +2 Metalline Khopesh of Pure Good will yield a basic Khopesh, (as Metalline is an enhancement, not a material type).
 * Using Dust of Disjunction on a +3 Cold Iron Studded Handwraps of Pure Good will yield Cold Iron Studded Handwraps.

2. Creating Essences
Note:  In addition to creating these components, you may also find them in treasure chests, as quest end rewards, and, because they are freely tradeable, at Auctioneers.

The item will be consumed, and replaced with a component as shown in the lists below.
 * 1) Start with a non-named item that has a prefix, suffix, or enhancement bonus.
 * 2) From the Master Craftsman, buy Lorinda's Ultimate Remover (for suffixes), Parfett's Leading Dissolver (for prefixes), or Liquid Knife Potion (for enhancement bonuses).
 * 3) Combine the potion and the item in the Item Deconstruction Device.

Example: a +3 Adamantine Large Shield of Hammerblock can be combined with Liquid Knife potion and thus converted to a +3 Enhancement Spirit.

3. Creating Shards
Shards are created from the aforementioned components. Shards are used in the next step to craft items.


 * 1) Use the appropriate Crafting Device for Bound or Unbound Shards
 * 2) Search for the effect you wish to have. The ingredients you require will be displayed.
 * 3) Place components in box. Your chance of success will be displayed. (You will be unable to craft if your chance is under 50%). If desired, add an optional crafting chance booster (from the DDO Store).
 * 4) Press the button to attempt to make your shard.

4. Fusing a Shard with a Blank Item

 * 1) Use appropriate Crafting Device for Bound or Unbound Items
 * 2) Place blank item and Shard into crafting device. (If screen goes blank, this shard can not be placed in such an item type.)
 * 3) Press "Craft". (An error will pop up if you already have a Suffix, Prefix, or Enhancement bonus and are trying to install a second one.)
 * 4) Note: the shard naming convention tells you whether it is a suffix or prefix shard, e.g. [Effect] Shard for prefix (e.g. Brilliance Shard) and Shard of [Effect] for a suffix e.g. Shard of Power.

Limitations to add bonuses
Item enchantment added will raise the minimum level of the item in question, according to its price modifier
