Crafting can be accessed directly from the game's main menu, where you will see the list of Recipes that your Hero has learned and whether you have the Materials required to craft the item in question. Items are crafted instantaneously. To craft an item, you need to **know the Recipe** and **have the requisite Materials.** ## Recipes A **Recipe** is an item which gives your Hero the ability to craft a specific item. Recipes can be obtained via various game actions and traded on the Marketplace. Once a **Recipe** has been learned, the item is burned - two Heroes cannot learn from the same Recipe-item. ## Materials A **Material** is an item that is specifically used for Crafting and is noted as such in-game. Materials can be found while **Exploring** or be rewarded for completing certain **Quests.** The best crafted items will require Heroes to find rare Materials which cannot be bought or sold on the Marketplace. ## Randomization Most crafted items have a range of attributes that are determined when the item is crafted. A Recipe will show the range of stats its item can have, with the most likely outcome being something along the middle of the range. ## Marketplace Aion Rising will feature a fully-fledged **Marketplace** in which players can buy and sell Hero NFTs, items, Materials, recipes and other in-game goods. Only **unbound items** will be tradable on the Marketplace.
