Crafting
Recipes & Materials
Material types, recipe gating, and what you can fabricate.
Materials
Twelve material types span the three fabrication disciplines, gathered from resource nodes across The Wastes and occasionally dropped by monsters. Each zone has a distinct material pool — if you need a specific material, learn which zone produces it and farm accordingly.
Recipe Access
Recipes are gated by discipline level. As your Biosynth, Alloycraft, or Signal Etching level increases, new recipes become available automatically. As your discipline level increases, new recipes become available automatically.
Costs
Every recipe requires fabrication materials. Advanced recipes may additionally need enhancement materials or essences — resources typically earned from bounties, crates, and high-rarity monsters. Check the full material cost before committing to a fabrication run.
Output
Fabrication produces two categories of items: consumables (healing items, temporary buffs) and equipment (unique crafted weapons and armor). Crafted equipment often has properties unavailable on dropped gear — fabrication is not a backup plan, it is a primary progression path.
