Crafting weapons

Basic weapons can be crafted using the crafting menu in the character tab. Crafting basic weapons requires very common resources, such as Wood or Stone Brick . Such weapons are not the most powerful ones, but will serve their purpose at the beginning of the game.. You can unlock more powerful items by completing quests, learning the recipes for creating new structures, or by building Simple Workbench , Smithy or Anvil . These buildings allow crafting weapons of higher quality, albeit they require more unique resources and have a higher cost.
