Crafting

Crafting allows you to create new items, as well as upgrade your Consumables and unlock Gadgeteer abilities. Crafting can be accessed from the troops menu.

Components
Crafting components have a chance to drop from defeated enemies. In addition, they can also be awarded at the end of an encounter, or found in Gathering spots on particular maps. A number of abilities can help you acquire even more crafting components:

For more details on the last 3 abilities in the table, see the poaching page. Many components will not drop until you have reached a certain point in the story.

Consumables
Consumables can be upgraded through crafting, and new ones can be unlocked. If the list below does not include a Tier 1 version, that means it is unlocked automatically at the start of the game.

Equipment
New Weapons, Armor, and Accessories can be created through crafting. Crafting equipment adds a single copy of it to your inventory. You can craft the same equipment multiples times (although the Ancient Locket can only be crafted once due to having a unique crafting component).

Gadgets
Crafting a gadget unlocks it as an ability for all of your Gadgeteers.

Note: Gadgets marked with an asterisk (*) can also be found in a Treasure Chest. As a result, you may want to hold off on crafting them to save components.

Badges
Crafting a badge allows a non-story character to use it to unlock a badge class, provided they meet all the other requirements. Badges can be crafted any number of times.
