Craftwarden Craft System

Overview

===== Overview ===== The Craftwarden system allows players to improve specific equipped items by adding crafted attributes such as Strength, AC, elemental power, elemental resistance, weapon damage, attack, archery, and other combat bonuses.

Crafting is not category-based internally. The official permission source is the item override table: if an item is not listed there, it cannot be crafted. If an attribute is not listed for that item, that attribute cannot be added to it.

Each craft attempt requires:

* The target item to be equipped. * The selected craft attribute to be allowed for that item. * The player to meet the required level range for that attribute. * The required materials for that attribute. * 300,000 gold per craft attempt. * An optional booster item, if the player wants increased craft XP.

Rules & Progression

===== Important Rules =====

===== Craft Attribute Levels ===== Each craftable attribute progresses from level 0 to level 5.

When an attribute reaches its maximum allowed level for the item or phase, stored XP for that attribute is reset to 0.

===== Player Level Unlocks ===== Craft attributes unlock by player level phase. Being at the minimum level unlocks the attribute, but the bonus starts with reduced efficiency and improves as the player progresses through the phase.

===== Efficiency by Player Level ===== When an attribute first unlocks, the player receives only part of the effective bonus. Efficiency starts at 40% and scales up to 100% by the end of the level phase.

Example: if an attribute unlocks at level 200 and reaches full phase efficiency at level 209:

This means the same crafted item becomes more effective as the player advances through the unlock range.

Endgame & Caps

===== Level 240+ Endgame Rule ===== Before level 240, crafted attributes are controlled by the global cap table.

At level 240+, when crafted items reach item craft level 5, the character is no longer balanced only by the global cap table. Instead, the final bonus depends on the actual equipped itemization.

This means that competing slots are not added together. For example:

* A bow competes with a melee weapon. * A shield only applies if the build can use a shield. * A mantle competes with other mantles and robes. * A helmet competes with other helmets. * A player cannot use every listed item at the same time.

The endgame balance is based on realistic equipped builds, not the sum of all craftable items in the database.

===== Practical Endgame Balance Targets ===== These are approximate practical maximums using realistic equipped item combinations.

===== Caps Explained ===== The final result is limited by several caps and rules.

Before level 240, the effective maximum is whichever of these limits is reached first.

At level 240+, a player who reaches craft level 5 on all equipped crafted items becomes a true “God Of Power”.

In this endgame state, the character is no longer limited by the previous global cap system. Instead, the player gains the full crafted values directly from the equipped items.

The practical maximum is therefore determined by:

* Which items can realistically be equipped together. * Which equipment slots compete with each other. * Which builds sacrifice defense for offense, or offense for utility. * Whether the player completed a full level 5 crafted endgame setup.

Competing items are not added together unless they can actually be equipped simultaneously.

XP & Boosters

===== XP Gain by Attribute ===== Without a booster, the craft attempt gives weak XP. With a valid booster, it gives normal XP plus the booster percentage.

===== XP Boosters ===== Boosters are optional items consumed during crafting. A booster increases the XP gained from that craft attempt by its listed percentage.

Craft Flow & Example

===== How a Craft Attempt Works ===== * The player opens the Craftwarden interface. * The player selects an equipped item. * The player selects one craft attribute allowed for that item. * The system checks the player's level unlock range. * The system checks whether the item can still receive more levels in that attribute. * If the player is below level 240, the system checks the total equipped global cap for that attribute. * If the player is level 240 or higher, the system uses the equipped itemization result for level 5 crafted items. * The system checks required materials. * The system checks the 300,000 gold cost. * If a booster was selected, the system validates and consumes it. * The system consumes the materials and gold. * The selected attribute receives XP. * If enough XP is reached, the crafted attribute level increases. * The item stores the new craft data and the crafter name.

===== Example ===== A player wants to craft str on an item.

* str unlocks at level 200. * The pre-240 global str cap is 30. * The player must use the str recipe materials. * The target item must explicitly allow str in the craftable item table. * Each craft attempt costs 300,000 gold. * Without a booster, the attempt gives 30 XP. * With a valid booster, the attempt gives 100 XP plus the booster bonus.

If the player uses a +20% XP booster, the craft gives:

* Base XP: 100 * Booster bonus: +20 * Final XP: 120

Drops, Skins & Notes

===== Loss on Dropped Crafted Items ===== Crafted items keep their crafted attribute data, but craft XP can be reduced when the item is dropped through death.

This penalty affects craft XP progression and makes crafted equipment valuable but risky to lose.

===== Armor Skins ===== Crafted armors support skinning in all available colors. This allows players to keep the crafted power of their equipment while customizing the visual appearance of armor sets.

===== Notes and Known Data Issues ===== The source configuration contains a few names and IDs that should be reviewed before publishing the final official table:
