Every A-Grade, A-Grade Interlude and S-Grade recipe is crafted by a Dwarf and needs four things: the recipe, the piece's own key material, the shared materials of its grade and one catalyst. Each recipe page lists all four for every piece.
Recipe pages
| Gear | Recipes open | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|
| A-Grade Armor | Chronicle 1 |  Warsmith's Mold |
| A-Grade Jewelry | Chronicle 1 (Phoenix), Chronicle 2 (Majestic) | Warsmith's Mold |
| A-Grade Weapons | Chronicle 2 |  Warsmith's Holder |
| A-Grade Interlude Weapons | Chronicle 4 |  Craftsman's Mold |
| S-Grade Armor | Chronicle 7 (planned) |  Arcsmith's Anvil |
| S-Grade Jewelry | Chronicle 7 (planned) | Arcsmith's Anvil |
| S-Grade Weapons | Chronicle 8 (planned) | Warsmith's Holder |
Step 1 — Buy the recipe
The recipes are paid for in 
Adena, 
Ancient Adena and 
Event Medal; the Clan Hall Manager asks 90% of the Black Marketeer's price.
- Black Marketeer of Mammon (A-grade Recipes): every A-Grade and A-Grade Interlude recipe, each list from the chronicle in the table above.
- The Clan Hall Manager of a clan hall with Item Creation: the A-Grade armor and jewelry recipes at level 2, the A-Grade weapon recipes too at level 3. A little cheaper than the Black Marketeer.
- The S-Grade recipes are not on sale yet.
A Dwarf learns a recipe once; it stays in the recipe book.
Step 2 — Farm the key material
Every piece needs 12 - 17 of its own key material (a weapon's edge or head, an armor piece's design or pattern). They come mostly from raid bosses:
| Gear | Key material from |
|---|---|
| A-Grade armor and jewelry | Very Easy and Easy raid bosses (mostly 25%, 4 - 12), a few monsters by spoil |
| A-Grade weapons | Very Easy and Easy raid bosses (8%, 1 - 9) |
| A-Grade Interlude weapons | Medium raid bosses (0.83%, 3 - 9) |
| S-Grade armor and jewelry | Hard raid bosses (31%, 1 each), Shadow of Halisha, Benom |
| S-Grade weapons | Hard raid bosses (2.96%, 1 each), Benom, Lilith |
The recipe pages name the exact bosses for every key.
Step 3 — Gather the shared materials
- A-Grade:
Refined Bronze: A-Grade from Dragon Valley Cave, 
Enria, 
Asofe and 
Thons from the Ant Nest, 
Crystal: A-Grade and 
Gemstone A from the Mineral Trader in the towns. - A-Grade Interlude: the same minus Enria, Asofe and Thons, plus
Mold Glue, 
Mold Lubricant and 
Mold Hardener from the Noble Ants of the Ant Nest, and 
Magic Powder from the School of Dark Arts. - S-Grade:
Refined Steel: S-Grade and 
Red Crystal from Dragon Valley Cave, 
Crystal: S Grade from the Mineral Trader (from Chronicle 4) or Dragon Valley Cave spoil.
Step 4 — Make the catalyst
Each craft uses up one catalyst. Each catalyst has its own recipe and materials:
- Recipe: Warsmith's Mold — A-Grade armor and jewelry
- Recipe: Warsmith's Holder — A-Grade and S-Grade weapons
- Recipe: Craftsman's Mold — A-Grade Interlude weapons
- Recipe: Arcsmith's Anvil — S-Grade armor and jewelry
- Recipe: Mammon Fabric — Mammon armor
Step 5 — Craft and unseal
- The Dwarf needs Create Item level 7 for A-Grade, 8 for A-Grade Interlude and 9 for S-Grade.
- Every recipe crafts at 60%. A failed craft uses up the materials and the catalyst.
- Weapons come out finished. Armor and jewelry come out Sealed: a town Blacksmith breaks the seal on A-Grade, Mammon's Blacksmith releases it on S-Grade (from Chronicle 4). Both ask for Ancient Adena and keep the enchant level.
