Crafting in Wizard101: A Comprehensive Guide to Where to Craft Your Recipes
The world of Wizard101 offers a vast array of magical items, and crafting is a crucial system that allows players to create their own gear, furniture, and even spells. But where exactly do you go to transform those recipes into tangible items? The answer lies in Crafting Stations. These are the essential tools that facilitate the crafting process, and knowing how to get and use them is vital to your crafting journey.
Understanding Crafting Stations
Crafting Stations are not just decorative pieces; they are interactive objects where you combine recipes and reagents to craft new items. You begin your crafting journey with a Basic Crafting Station, which is provided to you by Eudora Tangletree in Wizard City’s Olde Town after completing her initial quests. Once obtained, this station can be placed in your Dorm or Castle, allowing you to craft at your convenience.
It’s crucial to understand that each recipe has its own crafting station requirement. Some recipes require the basic station, while others need specialized ones. The type of crafting station needed is always indicated in the recipe itself. If you’re attempting to craft an item, but the recipe isn’t appearing in your crafting menu, it’s a good indication that you are at the wrong station.
Obtaining Crafting Stations
Besides the Basic Crafting Station obtained from Eudora, you can obtain more specific crafting stations throughout your journey. If you happen to lose your basic crafting station, you can repurchase it from Furniture Shop Keepers in various worlds such as Krokotopia, Mooshu, Marleybone and Dragonspyre. You can also check the Bazaar for a variety of crafting station options.
However, more advanced crafting recipes will require you to use different types of crafting stations including Equipment Crafting Station, that can be purchased from most of the same Furniture Shops.
Accessing the Crafting Interface
Once you’ve set up your Crafting Station in your dorm or castle, approaching it will give you access to the Crafting Interface. If you have the right recipe, required reagents, and are at the correct crafting station, you’ll be able to begin crafting. The interface displays your recipe list, the items required for each recipe, and allows you to craft the item. Keep in mind, if a recipe isn’t showing up, you most likely have the wrong crafting station type.
Crafting Vendors and Transmutation
While Crafting Stations are essential for the physical act of crafting, finding recipe vendors is equally important. These vendors are scattered throughout the Spiral, with a concentration in the common areas of each world. While some are easily located in main areas, others require a bit more exploration.
Transmutation, the act of converting one reagent into another, is a key component of crafting. Transmute recipe vendors are found in specific locations, primarily in Grizzleheim and Celestia. In Grizzleheim, the vendor is located on the left of the village’s main street, before the area where you speak to the Bear King. In Celestia, the vendor is near the Survey Camp, at the far right back of the Base Camp.
Crafting Spells
Crafting goes beyond simple gear and furniture; you can even craft spells in Wizard101. However, this requires more advanced progression in the crafting system. You can only start crafting spells after completing the Zafarian crafting quest, which can’t be accessed until you have opened up Zafaria and assisted the crafting guide there. This means you’ll need to be around level 55 or higher to begin spell crafting. The actual spell recipes become available after completing the Shirataki Temple dungeon in Mooshu and defeating the final boss. This vendor is in the same area as the final boss.
Progression and Crafting Badges
Your journey to become a master crafter requires you to complete a series of quests. Wul’yahm in Krokotopia will make you an Apprentice Crafter. After you’ve progressed to Marleybone, Felicia Worthington will grant you the Initiate Crafter rank. Once you make your way to Mooshu, Toshio will give you the rank of Adept Crafter after completing his quests. The quest that will earn you the Master Artisan badge occurs in Dragonspyre.
