I. Introduction to Crafting

Crafting was first introduced in Pocket Legends as a way to obtain better equipments by creating them from other ingredients. The premise of crafting is very simple - you must obtain individual ingredients and the recipe to the item itself.

In Star Legends Beta, you can choose to create Weapons or Implants via crafting (see the Implant Creator NPC and the Weapons Creator NPC in the UCS Blackstar). Implants are essentially another piece of equipment any character can equip to give them a slight stat boost.

Example of weapon caches

As of SL version Beta, nearly all of the ingredients are looted directly from weapon caches, which are located in dungeons. Weapon caches are much more important in Star Legends than in Pocket Legends, so be sure to always open up any weapon cache you see.

II. Weapons Creator

Weapons crafting follows this basic format: Recipe + Base Weapon + Ingredients

The recipe is bought directly from the Weapons Creator NPC; simply make sure you have enough gold and tap BUY RECIPE at the bottom of the screen (if you don't have enough gold then GO TO STORE will appear instead). The base weapon is a common enemy/boss drop or looted from a weapon cache. The other ingredients are primarily looted through the weapon caches.

Another great guide by the Great Physio!!!!

[Otukura]

Wow! Great work as always.

I can say that PSYONIC Plasm of Hate drops in CyCorp Labs - Consumer Testing. Got it doing the ticker quest. I've got plenty of BIOTECH Gray Matter & Corrisive DNA in Rockfall Caves and Dead Man's Cave, not sure which is where or if they drop in both.

[Physiologic]

Thanks Yvonnel! And thanks for the info Otu - I had a feeling that all the PSYONIC materials drop from the CyCorp. I'll put the Gray Matter/Corrosive DNA down in Dead Man's Cave and Rockfall Caves - I know for sure these drop in Dead Man Cave, so they probably will in Rockfall. Perhaps a certain batch of ingredients drop only for a certain campaign.

[apoceq]

Great job man!

[Redbridge]

Sweet.... Very useful.

[Register]

If the items are class specified you should seperate them into the classes that can use them. But very nice guide! Seems that you need more ingredients....ill be coming back to this thread A LOT

[Flowman]

ehhh the part about where the "tier 1" crafting items drop is kind of useless honestly. I've gotten purple crafting items in every level. I don't think it matters if it's a harder level or not. In fact I think I get them more often in dynastar on my noob commando.

[Physiologic]

The tiers are simply based off of roll percentage - note that I did not mention anything regarding "harder levels." There's a higher likelihood of ELECTRONIC pieces being rolled from weapon caches than purple/green ingredients. Also, ingredients are universal (so anyone can use them) but 3 of the weapons crafted are class-specific.

[AOmonsta]

Thanks. I crafted myself an implant today, even though I can't use it for a while haha.

[Raulur]

Can we get a sticky on this or make a guide section to put it in? Great job as always.

[Cahaun]

I like how I can buy recipes instead of trying to loot it in PL. Makes everything ALOT easier!

[themars]

Great job! I cant do much with this guide but im sure it will help other players a lot. Thx

[drewcapu]

was surprised to see both of these drop in Dynastar Labs Welcome Center:
PSYONIC Plasm of Courage
PSYONIC Ectoplasm

edit:
also...
BIOTECH Corrosive DNA - Dynastar Security Wing
BIOTECH Acadian DNA - Dynastar Security Wing
BIOTECH Vular DNA - Dynastar Security Wing
KINETIC Induranium - Dynastar Experimentation Wing
NANOTECH Adaptive Nanites - CyCorp Industries - Ingredients Storage
NANOTECH Connective Nanites - CyCorp Industries - Ingredients Storage
NANOTECH Nano Tubes - CyCorp Industries - Ingredients Storage

[Physiologic]

Thanks drew, added those info. Still wondering if drops are truly randomized location-wise.

[Trollee]

Great guide !
A little off topic, but given that the update is within two weeks, is it really worth the trouble of farming the crafting components to make lvl 21 greens when these will likely be undermined by the abundance of new gear when the full version is released ??
However, this is assuming that the level cap will be increased significantly.... Which, by the way, does anyone know what the initial SL level cap will be ?

The level cap will be increased to 25 (26 elite cap) from 20 (21 elite cap), so the 21 crafting items will likely to be obsolete by then. I am guessing that higher level crafting items will be released at the same time.
