Walkthrough for first crafting quest

[Snakespeare]

I have finally received, as a gift from CanonicalKoi, a recipe. so now I can complete this low level walkthrough.

Thanks, Canonical...

here it is:
=================================

CRAFTING A LEVEL 5 ITEM

In order to craft low level items, you need to have the recipe and all the items listed in that recipe. Recipes are dropped by bosses in Forest Haven. Repeatedly running Meathead's Deli is the best way to find the rare items: gems and recipes.

But there will also be a need for up to 16 scraps that you will have to forge or sew together, and these are easier to get. Burke the Blacksmith has daily quests that you can run to acquire these scraps, and they also drop on occasion from bosses in Forest Haven.

Accept the quest for the type of scraps you need. I will be looking for plate scraps. You can accept up to five quests at a time. Accept five of them from Burke and then simply abandon the ones you don't want to do.


Perform the quest. This is the fun part.


Complete the quest. Store the rewards.


When you have four scraps you can combine them into a panel. The recipes to do this are provided for free in the blacksmith shop.


Tap the combine button.


Farm for gems and recipes. It takes a long time to farm. One way to increase the number of drops you get is to use a second device with a separate account. Here my level 50 dual pally bathes in the light of the orb awaiting meathead's respawn, while over in the corner Snakesbeer quietly collects a second drop each time.


View crafting drops under the anvil. If you see this, it is a typo. At this time, all level 15 recipes are green. In the recipes listings at Burke's Shop you can find the same typo. It is orange. It is level 5.


Note that any recipe you own is listed on top. Here is the recipe that dropped for CanonicalKoi off of Meathead in Forest Haven IV.


Buy some crafting items at the store. In this case, we need rivets.


Ready to combine. We have a recipe, 4 plate panels, gem, and rivets.
Summary: The recipe was a drop from Meathead in Forest Haven IV. The plate panels were made out of plate scraps that were quest rewards. The gem also dropped from Meathead, but this came from Meathead's Deli. And finally the rivets were purchased from the plat store for 2500 gp.


NOTE: A recipe is a single-use item. It disappears after you craft one item with it. To get another recipe, you'll have to go farming again, or buy one from someone else who farmed it.

Success! We are now ready to go level 5 twinking.
