AC Odyssey: How to get crafting materials? Assassin's Creed Odyssey Guide and Walkthrough

Last update: 22 December 2022

Crafting materials are very important in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. They are one of the requirements for upgrading weapons and pieces of armor. A character with lesser-quality equipment can have problems with eliminating enemies and completing quests. This page contains information on what resources are in the game and how to get crafting materials.

The most important information about the materials

The game has 6 types of crafting materials - Soft Leather, Iron Metal, Olive Wood, Ancient Tablets, Obsidian Glass and Precious Gems - AC Odyssey: How to get crafting materials? - FAQ - Assassins Creed Odyssey Guide

The game has 6 types of crafting materials - Soft Leather, Iron Metal, Olive Wood, Ancient Tablets, Obsidian Glass and Precious Gems. You can check your supplies by visiting a blacksmith or by pausing the game. They are displayed at the top of the screen.

There is no capacity limit for resources. The more you have, the better. This also reduces a risk of being forced to go and search for missing materials.

Travel at night to spot supplies with ease, even without using Revelation ability.

Acquiring materials

Tips on finding specific resources can be found in the later part of the guide - AC Odyssey: How to get crafting materials? - FAQ - Assassins Creed Odyssey Guide

Tips on finding specific resources can be found in the later part of the guide. However, there are general ways of getting them.

One of the main sources of getting supplies is to receive them as loot - you can find them by exploring the world and searching various interactive containers and corpses of your enemies. Revelation ability is very useful here - it highlights resources and other interactive objects around you. Look for war supplies similar to those presented in the picture above. Search them before you burn the supplies. Thanks to that you will get a lot of materials.

Another general way of getting resources is to buy them at a blacksmith - AC Odyssey: How to get crafting materials? - FAQ - Assassins Creed Odyssey Guide

Another general way of getting resources is to buy them at a blacksmith. Sadly, crafting materials offered by merchants are rather expensive. Every trader offers different supplies. Purchase them only when you need a few units of a given supply to upgrade your gear.

Important note - There is a way to change a blacksmith's offer if he doesn't sell materials that you currently need. Close the trade window, move away from this location and then go back to it. Speak with the blacksmith again - it is possible that he will offer different crafting materials. This method also works when you need more resources than the amount offered by a blacksmith.

You can also dismantle useless weapons and pieces of armor. Do that with all regular (grey) items. "Colored" items are more useful to you. Also, regular items aren't worth much.

Silver Mine - perfect source of resources
