Crimson Desert: Crafting

Updated · Patch history

Game8's crafting page is a three-step loop. You get a recipe book or blueprint from a chest, a regional puzzle, a merchant, or a quest reward. You gather what it lists. You finish the item at a smithy. Equipment can be refined after that.

The Kuku Pot shows up in material pages such as Aeserion Scale, where scales have to be sealed before they refine. That pot is a tool inside this loop, not a separate profession. I do not have a total recipe count, so I will not print one.

Aeserion scales are the worked example of a material that is not finished at the smith. They need the Kuku Pot first, which is why the scale page exists beside this loop. Recipe books from sanctums, including the Core of Absolution, feed the same bench. I am not totaling those books, because Game8 never printed a count I could stand behind.
