How crafting actually works — read these first.

• Crafting Guide

  How crafting works in Gloria Victis end to end — skills, recipes, quality and the loop from raw resource to finished gear.

• Character Development

  The skill-tree system behind gathering and refining — tiers, branches and mastery, plus how Free XP and Surplus XP let you level one skill while doing another.

• Acquiring Recipes

  Where recipes come from and how to unlock them — vendors, chests, mobs, events, disassembly and the mass-production recipes worth saving Glory for.

• Crafting Chance

  Success and quality chance: what raises your odds of a higher-tier craft, and what drags them down.

• Item Tiers

  The Tier 1–5 colour system for weapons and armour — what each tier means, and why every nation's gear shares the same stats.

• Reinforcing & Repairing

  Pushing item quality from +0 to +7 with reinforcement kits — the success and failure rules and which kit to use — plus repairing durability and renovating an item back to full.

• Disassembly

  Breaking items back down into materials — what can be salvaged, what's lost, and when it's worth it.

Going afield for raw resources — ore, timber, crops, fish and game.

• Gathering Resources

  The gathering overview — resource cards, respawn timers, and the farms, mines and lumbermills that feed every trade, with the ore-to-use and wood-type lists.

• Mining

  Working ore deposits for metal — node types, tools, and getting raw ore ready for the smelter.

• Mineral Specialties

  Where to mine each ore — the specialty mines and veins for coal, granite, limestone, limonite and pyrite, plus every Rare Resource Vein location.

• Wood Cutting

  Felling trees for timber — where to harvest, the tools you need, and which wood feeds which trade.

• Lumber Specialties

  The lumbermills that yield the most wood — and which wood types each is known for.

• Farming

  Growing crops and herbs from seed — plots, growth and harvest for the cooking and alchemy supply lines.

• Fishing

  Catching fish by rod — active vs passive fishing, the minigame, fishery condition, rods, and the bait that lands each fish.

• Fish Trap

  Passive fishing with traps — placing, maintaining and harvesting a fish trap for a steady supply.

• Animals

  Caring for farm animals through the Barn Manager — calling, grooming, vitality, and gathering eggs, milk, wool, pork and more.

• Archaeology

  Leveling Archaeology with shovels — AFK digging at the Excavation Pit, the loot it yields, and the treasure-map tiers from Peasant's to Champion's.

• Engineering & Tools

  The Engineering trade — making the shovels, pickaxes, axes and scythes every gatherer needs, plus building materials, and how tool tier and durability shape your gathering.

Turning raw materials into the bars, boards and stock the trades consume.

• Smelting

  Turning ore into ingots — furnaces, fuel temperatures and the bars every metal trade depends on.

• Bloomery

  Smelting iron the old way — running a bloomery to produce iron blooms and bars.

• Furnace

  The mid-tier smelting station — a temperature-5 construction for Iron Lump, Steel Bar and the low-to-mid-temperature refining a bloomery can't reach.

• Metallurgic Furnace

  The hottest smelting station — a temperature-6 construction for the high-temperature ores a furnace can't reach.

• Finishing Wood

  Processing raw timber into the boards and planks carpentry and the other wood trades consume — and the oil it yields along the way.

Provisions for the war effort — cooking, brewing and the stations behind them.

• Cooking & Herbalism

  The kitchen and the herb table — preparing food and brewing remedies from gathered ingredients.

• Food Quality

  The Fed-status buff table — how each food-quality tier (1–10) boosts your HP, stamina and regen, the hot meals that land in each tier, and how to keep your average quality high.

• Campfire

  The campfire — the field station for basic cooking when you're far from a workshop.

• Brewery

  Brewing ales and drinks — running a brewery and what each batch takes to produce.

• Distillation Apparatus

  Distilling spirits and reagents — using the distillation apparatus and what it refines.

Placing, using and clearing the stations crafting depends on.

• Crafting Workshops

  The workshops themselves — what each station crafts, where to find them and how tiers work.

• Constructions

  Everything you can place in the world — the full list of constructions, the one-of-each rule, and how they despawn or get destroyed.

• Crafting Districts

  Crafting Districts and the speed bonuses for placing stations there — plus how workstations get destroyed at a guild province, with your materials returned rather than lost.

Turning your crafts into the war effort's best rewards — crafting events and quest boards.

• Crafting Events

  The Crafting Inn events — deliver batches of low-to-mid-tier crafts for some of the best material rewards in the game.

• Crafting Quests

  Capital quest boards — craft a low-tier item for each branch, claim from the Master, and mind the four-per-two-hours cooldown.
