You can unlock rare recipes by discovering blueprints hidden in caves, completing specific quests or challenges, or occasionally through limited-time events. Keep an eye out for glowing chests or secret locations!
Only basic items (like torches or small tools) can be crafted anywhere. For advanced gear, potions, or weapons, you’ll need a crafting table or a specialized station such as a forge or alchemy lab.
Yes. Most tools and weapons have durability that decreases with use. You can repair them at a repair station using some of the same materials required for crafting.
Absolutely upgrading your crafting station and unlocking crafting speed perks in your skill tree will greatly reduce the time it takes to craft items.
Yes, in multiplayer mode, you can trade or gift crafted items to others. Teamwork and trading are key to progressing efficiently and surviving tougher areas.
