Crafting Gear

In this cybernetic reality, the right pieces of gear can be the difference between a simple citizen and a digital demigod. Choose your enhancements wisely and prepare to advance through The Paradigm's countless bytes of challenge and mystery with enhanced digital fervor.

Crafting is the process of creating gear from resources through recipes. Recipes define what resources are required to craft an item.

Not all items are craftable and in the future you will be able to craft unique items through discovering their unique recipes. All recipes for current gear and where they can be crafted (or purchased) can be found in the Gear Reference.

Crafting is built around the following resource progression. Root Modules -> Fusions -> Items where items are equippables or consumables.

Crafting Process

  1. Learn an item's recipe
  2. Verify you have the required Fusions OR have enough Roots to craft them.
    • Visiting an NPC who can craft the item will let you know if you have the needed Fusions.
  3. Verify the item can be crafted in-game.
    • Not all gear can be crafted, some is only available through mission loot.
  4. Make sure the Fusions and/or Roots needed are in your Bracer's Storage Bay.
    • You may need to visit a FlashGo to transfer items from your Storage Locker to Bracer.
  5. Craft the Fusions in the recipe.
    • Visit an appropriate NPC and craft the required quantity of Fusions from Roots.
  6. Craft the item.
    • Visit an appropriate NPC and craft the item from the Fusions.
  7. Inventory management
    • If the item is an equippable, equip it.
    • Visit a FlashGo and move any unused items into your Storage Locker.

Example

Let's walk through creating the following equippable and assume we have none of the required Fusions in the recipe.

  1. We find the item's recipe in the Gear Reference. 404Erroraser
  2. We have the following roots and quantities in our Storage Locker.
    • 9x Raw Data, 9x Code Fragments, 9x Perlin Noise, 5x Power Cores.
  3. We see the item is craftable from the Gear Reference.
  4. We stop by a FlashGo and move the Roots to our Bracer.
  5. We visit Rhea Crisp at Dreamlands / The Bazaar / Trippy Dippy to create 4x CyberPlast and 5x Proxy Bypass Keycard fusions.
    • Through the Gear Reference, we can see that NPC can create both Fusions. 404Erroraser Fusions
  6. We visit The Dreamweaver at Dreamlands / The Bazaar / Dreamweavers Atelier to craft the item from the Fusions crafted in the last step.
    • This item could also have been crafted at Anvil Bess, but that is in the Tombstone world and would require travel.
  7. We equip the item just crafted to use it!
