Crafting is an essential part of progressing in Castela, and we have a few methods to help you get stronger with your items.
The Maker skill is absolutely essential in Castela - you'll automatically receive the level 3 skill when you hit level 30.
This is due to all the new equips we’ve added, and will continue to add in future patches, to Maker.
To give you a snippet of what we’ve changed:
Maple weapons: From level 30, you'll be able to craft the Maple items relevant to your class. Level 35 and 43 items are cheap and easy to make, the level 64 ones require quite a bit more resource.
Shoulders: Our devs have added in shoulder equips, the only v83 server that has this! You'll find these accessories in 'Face Accessory' tab. The Maker skill has the class shoulder equips from Reinforced Pauldrons to Grand Pauldrons, adding on +6 weapon/magic attack.
Belts: Similar to shoulder equips, belts can be crafted from level 50 onwards. They're easy way to get some additional secondary stats.
ITCG items: PQ bosses and low-level Expedition boss drop ITCG boxes. The items they craft, like Stormcaster Gloves and Spectrum Goggles, give a hefty stat boost early in the game.
Poisonic weapons (level 130): Your first opportunity to strengthen your character by bossing!
Imperial weapons (level 150): These will be your first set of mid-game weapons. You'll need to collect a number of items from bosses and mobs in order to craft these items, and will give you a significant boost in damage.
Arrows: Area bosses drop the key items you need to craft high level arrows.
Magic Powders: Collecting gems is really important - they can be used to strengthen items or create Powders in the ETC tab.
