Ingredient links show where to gather the inputs. Quantities depend on the recipe and the number of attempts; use the recipe window for the amount consumed per craft. Buy vendor supplies such as thread, parchment, dyes and vials from profession suppliers.

Keep bolts, powders, grinding stones and other intermediate crafts for later recipes. Yellow recipes may require extra attempts. Vendor recipes and specialization recipes must be learned before you can use them.

Farm the materials

Between 20 and 45, make Light Armor Kits from Light Leather. Save Fine Leather Belts for later crafts.
