Choosing the right weapon crafting skill can significantly enhance your gameplay experience, especially if you’re a new player. Each faction has a designated crafting skill that provides exclusive weapons tailored to that faction. This guide will help you decide which crafting skill to prioritize and how to start collecting resources to level up efficiently.
Primary Skill: Bonewright
Unique Weapon: Guardian-only weapons crafted with the Bonewright skill
Suggested Resources: Goat Horns, Oak Poles, Poplar Poles
As a Guardian faction player, you should focus on the Bonewright profession, which enables you to craft weapons exclusively usable by Guardians. To kick off your Bonewright crafting:
Use the range workbench with your crafted items to ensure they’re Guardian-specific. Prioritize leveling up by crafting low-level items that require minimal resources until you unlock higher-level recipes.
Primary Skill: Blacksmith
Unique Weapon: Cryonite-only weapons crafted with the Blacksmith skill
Suggested Resources: Iron Ore, Hickory Poles
Cryonite players should develop the Blacksmith skill, allowing them to create exclusive weapons for Cryonite faction members.
Blacksmithing mainly requires ore in the early levels, making it one of the simpler crafting skills to progress. Gather ore as you explore to continuously level up without needing extensive preparation.
Primary Skill: Stonemason
Unique Weapon: Hammermage-only weapons crafted with the Stonemason skill
Suggested Resources: Flint, Hickory Poles, Andesite
For Hammemages, the Stonemason profession is crucial, allowing them to forge weapons unique to their class.
Focus on crafting items that don’t require wood if you want to quickly level up your Stonemason skill. For weapons requiring hickory poles, prioritize finding and stockpiling these in Episode 2 so you’re ready to transition smoothly to more advanced crafting recipes.
