Crafting
Alloycraft & Tiers
Craft any tiered equipment using alloy from the matching zone.
Tier = Alloy Tier = Equipment Tier
Alloycraft recipes map directly to the equipment tier system. Tier 1 alloy (Tin) makes Tier 1 Scrap gear. Tier 4 alloy (Steel) makes Tier 4 Crucible gear. Tier 8 alloy (Neutronium) makes Tier 8 Apex gear. Every tiered weapon, armor, and accessory in the game is craftable through Alloycraft.
Level Requirements
Higher-tier recipes require higher Alloycraft levels. Tier 1 recipes unlock at level 1, with each subsequent tier requiring progressively more crafting experience. The highest-tier recipes (Tier 8) require Alloycraft level 39.
Material Costs
Each recipe uses a single alloy tier matching the equipment tier. Heavier items cost more — two-handed weapons and armor use more material than rings or accessories. Alloycraft also offers utility consumables like the Stabilizer Module, Combat Stim, and Overdrive Core.
Masterwork Legendaries
At Alloycraft level 20, a masterwork legendary recipe becomes available: the Architect's Aegis shield. Masterwork recipes require rare materials from endgame zones and produce equipment with unique legendary effects. Each crafting discipline has one masterwork recipe at level 20.
