Dev Diary #7 - Crafting

Hey adventurers!

Crafting is the iconic aspect of the RPG genre; indeed, in Zoria, you can also craft items. Let's talk more about this topic and dig into the specifics!

Crafting in Zoria revolves around two key elements - recipes and the player's freedom to experiment and optimize.

The Crafting Screen:

The screen is split into three parts:

• Available recipes on the left side
• Inventory with all the available materials and crafting items on the right side
• The crafting area is in the center.

Once a recipe is selected, that item's characteristics, base stats, and requirements appear in the crafting area. You have to fill each requirement slot with the specified number of materials (e.g., two crystal slots and one metal slot).

• The item's stats change according to the materials used to fill the slots, with the complete stats visible in the central screen's upper part.
• The lower part of the central screen is where the unique slots are located: the Crafting Kit slot and the Unstable Slot.
• Below them is the item's cost to craft and the Crafting Chance, which will remain 100% as long as no material is added to the Unstable Slot.

Recipes:
A recipe is necessary to craft any item like armor, Weapon, or Trinket. You can acquire these recipes in several ways:

• Exploration - either on the main area map or exploring dungeons and hidden places.
• Quest rewards - by performing certain tasks and doing various quests.
• Missions - by sending characters on unattended missions that reward recipes.

Recipes and items they help craft are grouped by rarity:

• Common
• Uncommon
• Rare
• Exotic
• Epic

Each recipe allows the player to craft a specific item: Armor, Weapon, or Trinket of the recipe's rarity.
