Crafting 101

One of the most important aspects of the game of Krafties is of course, Crafting! From this, you make amulets, potions, food and even souls to bond with unbonded creatures and make new friends to add to your collection. It's going to be important that everyone from the new to the experienced know about the basics of Crafting.

To craft anything you need at least the following items:

1. A Bonded Kraftie with a minimum of level 3 overall or better.
2. Energy that is stored in your hud.
3. Your own personal and active crafting temple.

To make items like amulets and food, you'll also need to have the appropriate ingredients for each item, which can either be found by battling wild krafties or trading them from other players.

When you link with a temple, everyone benefits.

Linking is another big part of how to craft. Linking means by connecting other player's pets to another temple, thereby adding the power of their pet to yours for building items and souls. For items, this isn't often a factor, but for crafting souls, it is vital for making a powerful ones. The advantage to this is that while you gain crafting experience for making something, everyone else linked to your temple shares experience as well. This often makes Crafting a highly sociable trait in Krafties.




Note that if you are not a gold member of Krafties, once you have finished a big craft like a soul, your Temple will enter cooldown for at least 24 hours until you can do it again. Most items do not cause a cooldown.

Crafting Souls

The Elemental souls (Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind)

Soul crafting is one of the more exciting things to make in Krafties. With other items, you know what to expect in most cases, but with a soul, you could wind up with something powerful, or something weak. Knowing what other players have learned about crafting will help you learn a bit about how to make the best souls ever.

Energy: To start anything, you need energy. For the main 4 elemental souls (Fire, Wind, Water, and Earth) you need at least 250 energy (187 if you have a gold membership). This energy must be stored in your HUD. To make a soul from the elements of Mind and Affection, you'll need 500 energy (375 for gold members).

(Ruby, Emerald and Sapphire Shards)

Special Ingredients: For souls like the Mind and Affection elements, you'll need a special item; a soul shard. These are created by crafting one, using 3 ruby, emerald, and sapphire shards and 50 energy. This item must be stored in the HUD when you attempt to build these particular souls.

Linking: It is advised that you get the maximum of ten players (including yourself) to link when making a soul. Although it hasn't been proven fully, the better the variety of players, the stronger the soul will become. When making a Mind soul, remember that you must have at least ONE of each basic elemental krafties connected to your temple before you can make one. If you are making an Affection soul, you only need a mind kraftie linked.

Some interesting tidbits to know: Through study and testimony from other players, I've learned that if you get everyone to change their battle styles to "All Around" the stats of that soul being made will be more balanced out. Shifting these battle styles may produce other effects as well.

This should get you started in understanding all the things you can do with crafting. For further information and recipes, check out the Krafties Wikipedia page here.

And as always, True believers: KEEP ON KRAFTING!
