If you are using items to boost your Crafting or Blacksmithing rating, always be sure you're wearing the right item for what you're crafting, as few recipes are forgiving in letting you re-create the item (typically only axes/swords). Blacksmithing gives you a notable bonus to the damage and defense rating of the forged items as well. This does not affect the attribute / skill / resistance bonus of crated items, but only their damage + defense rating as well as their price. The crafted items that are not consumable have the same level as your crafter. If everything seems to fail try one of the simple recipes like the food stuff (Pizza Sauce = Tomato + Hammer) to make sure that you are doing it right.ĭoes my level or skill level affect the items? The quality of some items scales with both your level and how many skill points you have in crafting / blacksmithing. In DOS:EE, if your crafting/blacksmithing level isn't high enough, rather than yielding a new product, you will see a question mark in the crafted item box, and your materials will not be consumed. If your crafting/blacksmithing level is not high enough, a message is going to appear over the head of the crafter, so make sure that this isn't being blocked by something like the inventory screen (DOS). Help! It doesn't work! The inventory management can be a bit annoying, so make sure that you have actually selected your crafter after moving components around from inventory to inventory. After one of your characters has read the book the text of the whole book will be permanently listed in the recipe tab (click on the note symbol next to the minimap) and stay there even if you sell the book afterwards. What do the books with recipes do? The recipes are typically described there with some kind of back story.

How do I unlock recipes? It is not necessary to unlock the recipes, but some of them require a certain skill level in crafting / blacksmithing. For DOS:EE simply drag two different stacks into the crafting window boxes and you will be able to craft your Large (Iron or Steel) Bar for example.

When you combine the piles again, you can select whether you want to craft or stack the items and how many of them you want to create (DOS1). How do I craft recipes involving 2 stackable items? If you want to make a large iron bar by combining 2 normal iron bars, but only have a single big stack of iron bars, you have to split the stack first by holding the SHIFT key and dragging the pile to an empty slot in your inventory. You will come across your first anvil, forge and whetstone wheel in Cyseal to the south west of the mortician. How do I craft stuff? Crafting involves either dragging and combining items in you inventory or dragging them to an anvil, forge or whetstone wheel depending on the recipe (DOS1), or using the Craft menu (DOS:EE), right-clicking an interactable crafting 'station' or 'tool' on the ground (such as anvil, forge, oven, or whetstone wheel, and clicking 'combine with'.
