Cabal Guide: Crafting

http://gamerslinc.com/2008/12/cabal-crafting-and-upgrading-guide/

Crafting in cabal is an essential way on how to make our characters more powerful and more profitable. The only drawback in crafting is that it takes a lot of time, alz and luck (so be sure to be very patient in crafting items because it’s not that easy to reach osmium level). Good items to craft are weapons, rings/amulet, and helm. This are the only profitable crafting in my opinion based on experience when i was playing cabal. Helm is good for it has the option of Deathblow same with the weapon. As for the rings and amulets it’s also profitable.



Now let’s go to the process of crating.
Crafting starts when a character reaches level 50. To start crafting you`ll need a C.A.Transmuter, which you can get from Port Lux (Core Alchemist, Yerte)

You can choose one from the 5 different C.A.Transmuters:

Transmuter type: Recommended class

Armor : Warrior, Force Shielder
Battle: Force Archer, Force Blader
Martial: Blader, Wizard
Sword: Blader, Force Blader, Warrior, Force Shielder
Artifact: Any

With the Artifact transmuter you can craft jewelry (rings, amulets, etc.), orbs and crystals. The others are quite self-explaining.

Item Display

Orange name = you can craft, but no materials.
Red name = cannot craft.
White name = can craft, have all the materials.

Crafting adds additional effect to the equipments.
Additional effect can be vampire, guard, luck, adept, amp, proof, destruction, deathblow etc.

There are 2 types of crafting (Professional Craft and Basic Craft)

Professional Craft
Crafting Materials



You need Shape cartridge, material cores or discs to craft the items

Type of material cores: Depends on the type of equipment you`re going to craft (Aramid Material Cores for Aramid equipment, etc.)

Note: Cores for Artifact equipment are called Quartz Cores, instead of Material Cores. You can get these only from Artifact equipment. (Orbs, Crystals…)

Discs : You can buy level 1 disc from Core Alchemist in Port Lux. Higher level discs are dropped by monsters. (Usually for level 2 discs it is dropped from Ruina Station, LiD, RS, level 3 disc is dropped from EOD B1F, Forgotten Ruins, etc.)

Shape cartridge : A shape cartridge (Armor, Battle, Martial, Sword or Artifact, depending on your type of transmuter). You can buy the Level 1 cartridges from Core Alchemists in the 3 starting zones. Higher level cartridges are dropped by monster.

To Break an item by right click on your transmuter and then left click on the item you want to break. The extract window will popup. You can get 1,2,4 or 10 cores from 1 item. The number of cores you get depends on your luck. For example, if you break an Aramid Martialsuit you`ll get 1-10 Aramid cores. From upgraded (+1-7) and blue items you can also get the Force core and Upgrade core pieces, which you`ll need for Basic Crafting.

Sample Artifact crafting

Break lvl 40 rings(ring of sage+3, ring of fighter+3 etc), lvl 40 amulets(amulet of bless+1), amulet of guard+2 get circuit jewel lvl 1

You start with 0%. Whenever you create an item, a cetain value will be added to your crafting bar and after you reach 100% in a type of item, you can create an “item of proof”. The requirements for crafting an “item of proof“ are slightly different than those of normal items. For example, let`s say you`ve reached 100% in Aramid Martialhelm craft. You have to create an Aramid Martialhelm of proof.

When you manage to craft your item of proof you can go to Port Lux Core Alchemist from which you`ll get a license card. You can right click it to upgrade your crafting.

Note that each type of item has a separate crafting bar. To reach the next level of crafting and get the ability to craft higher class equipment, you need to have 100% in the crafting bar for the particular type of item.

In the upper part of the window you can see 2 drop-down menus. With the one on right you can choose which “class” of equipment are you going to craft.

Basic Crafting



Basic Crafting, unlike Professional crafting, is the same for every type of transmuter. With Basic Crafting you can create things like potions, return stones or even upgrade cores on higher levels. To start with Basic Crafting you`ll need Honor Class 2 (20k honor points) You can raise your honor points by doing quest and by doing the Plate of Honor quest. When you have class 2 honor you can buy the 5 lvl. 1 formula cards from the Port Lux Core Alchemists. Higher level Formula Cards are dropped by monsters.

The first 4 formulas allow you to craft lvl 2 and 3 potions, the 5th formula allows you to craft an Epaulette of Proof. Like the “items of proof” in professional crafting, the EoP is craftable only with 100% in the progress bar. If you understand Professional Crafting, Basic Crafting shouldn`t be problem for you. Get 100% in progress bar, craft an EoP, upgrade your crafting level, get new formula cards and repeat…

Sample Formula Cards:

001: Level 2 HP potions
002: Level 3 HP potions
003: Level 2 MP potions
004: Level 3 MP potions
005: Epaulette of Proof
