Nope, unless both of your characters are using Lone Wolf. Blacksmithing gives you a notable bonus to the damage and defence rating of the forged items as well.ĭo I have to make one of my main chars a crafter or are there any companions that can craft well? This does not affect the attribute / skill / resistance bonus of crated items, but only their damage + defence rating as well as their price. The crafted items that are not consumable have the same level as your crafter. The quality of some items seems to scale with your level and how many skill points you have in crafting / blacksmithing. Maybe some high level items or uniques can improve these skills as well, but I wouldn't count on it.ĭoes my level or skill level affect the items? So far the bonus tend to exclusively show up on bracers and belts.

Which kind of items can boost my crafting / blacksmithing skills? 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. 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. 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 chars 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. The recipes are typically described there with some kind of back story. It is not necessary to unlock the recipes, but some of them require a certain level of crafting / blacksmithing. 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. To do so hold the SHIFT key and drag the pile to an empty slot in your inventory. If you want to make a large iron bar out of 2 iron bars, but only have a big stack of them instead of multiple individual items, you have to split the pile first. How do I craft recipes involving 2 stackable items? The first forge can be found in Cyseal near the Abandoned House. There are no 'crafting stations', so if the recipe doesn't require something like an anvil/forge you can just combine the components in your inventory by dragging them together.
