Crafting
Forging & Tiers
Craft any tiered equipment using ore from the matching zone.

Tier = Ore Tier = Equipment Tier
Forging recipes map directly to the ore tier system. Tin ore makes Tin gear. Steel ore makes Steel gear. Neutronium ore makes Neutronium gear. Every tiered weapon, armor, and accessory in the game is craftable through Forging.
Level Requirements
Higher-tier recipes require higher Forging levels. Tier 1 recipes unlock at level 1, with each subsequent tier requiring progressively more crafting experience. The highest-tier recipes (Tier 8) require Forging level 39.
Material Costs
Each recipe uses a single ore tier matching the equipment tier. Heavier items cost more — two-handed weapons and armor use more material than rings or accessories. Forging also offers utility consumables like the Stabilizer Module.
Masterwork Recipes
At crafting level 20, each major discipline unlocks a named masterwork recipe — a T8 endgame item with a unique appearance and a story-driven name. Forging makes the Architect's Aegis shield, Biosynth makes the Vital Integrator amulet, and Signal Etching makes the Etched Amplifier Core ring. Masterworks require rare materials from endgame zones but slot cleanly into the T8 power band — they are not stronger than other T8 gear, just unique trophies you crafted yourself.
