Pillars of Eternity crafting

Crafting is the process of making or enhancing of equippable items. In Pillars of Eternity you can make consumable goods (such as food, potions and scrolls) or enchantments for weapons, armor, and shields which makes them more effective in combat.

Crafting can be performed outside of combat at any time. To begin crafting, you must have the right level and required ingredients. The crafting interface displays all recipes, broken down into categories, highlighting those that meet all prerequisite requirements. In instances where the player has enough resources to craft multiples of the same item, this will be noted with an “x” followed by the maximum number of possible repeated craftings (e.g. x4).

Ingredients

Main article: Ingredients

To craft or enhance an item, you must have the appropriate ingredients in your inventory. These materials may be bought, gathered, looted or salvaged. During the process the ingredients are usually used up, but sometimes they are reusable. And for recipes like enchantments, the main ingredient is not used up but is instead improved by the addition of a new bonus.

All enchanting is done using three ingredients: a critter part, a plant/herb, and a gem. The counts of each ingredient may vary, but there are always three ingredients. Additionally, there may be a copper cost that's subtracted directly from your total wealth.

Recipes

Recipes allow you to easily view the combination of ingredients needed to create or enhance an item. Most of them are available from the start (although most are initially not craftable due to higher level requirement), with some being obtainable from NPCs. Higher level recipes usually need rarer ingredients. Almost all of the crafting recipes are used to either create consumables or to add/upgrade properties on existing items.

Development history

During development of the game, you could only craft at appropriate crafting locations:

• Forges – These blacksmithing locations could be used to make all of the equippable gear.
• Labs – These alchemical tables were used to make any enchantments, as well as all alchemical consumables like potions, scrolls or figurines (which let you summon a creature that will fight for you).
• Hearths – These cooking spots were used to make food and drink that can give you long-term benefits when you ingest them.

Also during development, some recipes were said to have additional prerequisites, including requiring you or a companion to have a certain talent or ability or even skill at an appropriate level. Access to new recipes were initially obtained through vendors, as loot during your adventures or as rewards for finishing quests. However, most of that was removed from the final version of the game, with level and ingredients remaining as the only requirements.

Some food recipes have been renamed in later versions of the game, mainly to give them a stronger connection to the different cultures of Eora.
