Welcome to the world of crafting! This system allows you to combine different materials to create unique items. Don't worry—I'll guide you through the process step by step. Here’s everything you need to know to get started:
Materials are categorized into Grades (I - VII) based on their quality and rarity. Each material has a set of Traits that describe its unique properties, which affect how the item performs.
Grade: The quality of the material. Higher grades have more traits and are rarer.
Traits: Special attributes that the material possesses. These traits are represented by letters (like V, H, M) and symbols (like +, -).
Materials: These are the raw resources you use to craft items (Metals, Rocks, Crystals, Trees, Flowers, etc.).
Collect materials from various sources based on the Material Type you need. Here's a quick list of material types and what to expect:
Metals (e.g., Steel, Iron, Gold)
Rocks (e.g., Granite, Limestone)
Crystals (e.g., Quartz, Sapphire)
Trees & Plants (e.g., Oak, Willow, Roots)
Each type has different Grades with varying Traits that will influence the outcome of your crafted item.
When you're ready to craft, follow these simple steps:
Select Your Base Material:
Choose the material (e.g., Metal, Crystal, Rock) you want to use. Higher-grade materials provide more options for traits, but may require more resources to obtain.
Understand Traits and Combinations:
Each material comes with its own set of traits (like V+, H+, M, D).
Combine materials with complementary traits to achieve the desired effect for your item.
Choose the Grade:
The higher the grade of your material, the more potential traits you have access to. Grades range from Grade I (common) to Grade VII (rare and powerful). For example:
Grade I materials have 1 trait.
Grade VII materials have up to 5 traits.
Crafting Process:
Some combinations are straightforward, while others may require specific traits.
As you move up the grades, you unlock more powerful and complex traits.
Let’s go through a simple example:
Base Material: You choose a Metal material. Let’s say Steel (Grade III).
Traits: Steel has traits like V(+), H(+), M, D(+), Y, B.
Objective: You want to create a sword that is durable (for high defense) and lightweight (for fast movement).
Select Traits: You choose materials that have D(+) (durability) and V(+) (lightness).
Final Product: Your sword ends up with traits for both durability and lightness, making it a high-defense, light sword.
Feel free to experiment with different materials to get the combination that best suits your needs! Crafting is about discovering what works best for your playstyle. Don’t hesitate to try new combinations as you collect more resources.
Start Simple: Don’t worry if you don’t get the perfect item on your first try. Start with lower-grade materials to learn how the system works.
Higher Grades = More Traits: As you collect rarer materials (Grade IV and above), you’ll be able to craft more powerful items with additional traits.
Material Synergy: Some traits work better together. For example, pairing a Metal with a Crystal might give your item special properties that pure Metal doesn’t have.
Keep Track: If you craft an item you really like, take note of the combination of traits! This will help you refine your crafting skills.
Crafting is all about creativity and trial and error. Each material you gather will bring something new to the table, and over time, you'll unlock increasingly powerful items. The more you experiment, the better your items will become!
Remember: Crafting is a journey, not a race. Take your time, gather your materials, and most importantly—have fun creating!
