All crafting / cooking recipes

! This list seems to have more recipes in it, so I will no longer update this thread. !

How do I craft stuff?
There are no "crafting stations", so if the recipe doesn't require something like an anvil/forge you can just combine the components in your inventory by dragging them together.
The first forge can be found in Cyseal near the Abandoned House.

How do I craft recipes involving 2 stackable items?
If you want to make a large iron bar out of 2 iron bars, but only have a big stack of them instead of multiple individual items, you have to split the pile first. To do so hold the SHIFT key and drag the pile to an empty slot in your inventory. When you combine the piles again, you can select whether you want to craft or stack the items and how many of them you want to create.

How do I unlock recipes?
It is not necessary to unlock the recipes, but some of them require a certain level of crafting / blacksmithing.

What do the books with recipes do?
The recipes are typically described there with some kind of back story. After one of your chars has read the book the text of the whole book will be permanently listed in the recipe tab (click on the note symbol next to the minimap) and stay there even if you sell the book afterwards.

Help! It doesn't work!!!
The inventory management can be a bit annoying, so make sure that you have actually selected your crafter after moving components around from inventory to inventory.
If your crafting/blacksmithing level is not high enough, a message is going to appear over the head of the crafter, so make sure that this isn't being blocked by something like the inventory screen.
If everything seems to fail try one of the simple recipes like the food stuff (Pizza Sauce = Tomato + Hammer) to make sure that you are doing it right.

Which kind of items can boost my crafting / blacksmithing skills?
So far the boni tend to exclusively show up on bracers and belts. Maybe some high level items or uniques can improve these skills as well, but I wouldn't count on it.

Does my level or skill level affect the items?
The quality of some items seems to scale with your level and how many skillpoints you have in crafting / blacksmithing. The crafted items that are not consumable have the same level as your crafter. This does not affect the attribute / skill / resistance boni of crated items, but only their damage + defense rating as well as their price. Blacksmithing gives you a notable boni to the damage and defense rating of the forged items as well.

Do I have to make one of my main chars a crafter or are there any companions that can craft well?
Nope, unless both of your characters are using Lone Wolf. You will find a good crafter very early in the game.
His name is Jahan - he is located on the first floor of the major's house in Cyseal.

Is it worth it?
Absolutely! Even if you want to save the rare crafting materials just upgrading your weapons and armor through anvil, whetstone and the mobile kitchen gives you a significant boost. Your forged strength based melee weapons are better than most of the non-unique weapons that you can find. 
You will always have gear that is your level and can't get screwed by the random loot. 
Upgrading the items that you don't need or just crafted iron weapons in order to sell them is also quite profitable. 
Blacksmithing allows you to repair your gear, although that is not that important as it might sound.

Through crafting you can equip your party with decent rings, amulets and belts until you find a permanent replacement for them. The attribute boni from rings, amulets and belts stay relevant till the midgame, because they can help you wear high level items, equip self-bearing items (like giving your int 5 warrior a Sarong with +1 int +15% resistance that requires 6 int). These attribute boni are especially important for chars with the Glass Cannon talent, since getting your speed to an odd number will give you +2 additional AP per turn, but at the same time you need to increase you maximum AP through constitution.

Examples of good item upgrades:
With blacksmithing and crafting you can massively boost your gear:
Rubies adds +25% resistance from all 4 Elements to your Armor
Scales adds +10% Armor
Anvil removes the Movement penalty from Heavy Armor and replaces it with +0.10 Movement

Tenebrium adds +30% close to unpreventable damage and checks the Ability Tenebrium instead of its old category (1handed / Bow /...) for the calculation of bonus damage (in addition to the above 30%)
Adding Spikes (Nails) to your Boots adds Immunity to Slipping
Whetstone adds +25% additional damage (regular damage and elemental damage)
Tormented Soul adds +2 Dexterity and +2 Strength (+3 /+3 if you are level 22+) to any weapon
Sextant adds +2 Pereption to ranged weapons (+3 if you are level 22+)

Examples of good crafted items
My handcrafted 2-Handed Axe deals 1066 dmg per hit, the Bow 549 or the 1Handed Sword of Planets with 656 damage and +25% resistancefrom all 4 Elements (not counting temporary boni, stances or resistances). This also has the benefit that you can always use a weapon that is your level.

Voodoo Dolls are one time items that deal ~500 damage +75% Bleeding for 0 AP (level dependend). You can craft > 50 of these during the game.
With enough Pixie Dust you can craft whatever (Fire, Water, Air, Earth or Witchcraft) Spellbook you want.
On top of that you can craft Rings, Amulets and Belts that give +1 to one of your attributes and selected Abilities (+2 later) or the +2 Int Staff (+3 later) for your Mage.

You can make a lot of Gold selling your crafted items: A sharpened 1 handed Axe that requires nothing but a regular steel bar has a nominal value of 3204 Gold. Most Iron Weapons can be forged back into Iron / Steel Bars, which can be more profitable than selling them.

Bonus:
There is a little trick that makes crafting so much more comfortable:
Just throw all the crafting tools together in one backpack. This makes searching for the right tool so much faster and you can also make use of the inventory filter when you are crafting if you open the backpack first. Otherwise if you are trying to combine components from different categories you would have to use the "show all" filter.

Did they patch in the upgraded Health Potion recipe? I could have sworn that this one did not work a few days ago...

@EldritchBattery: Robe = Cloth Scraps + Magic Needle

[Killer Rabbit]

So aside from certain weapons like swords, axes, daggers, you can't dismantle other gear into components or can you?

I've been wondering about this too.

[Tracat]

Tried this recipe again, confirm it gives +1 Constitution, not Strength, shame!

Claw Ring (Strength +1?) = Jeweller's Kit: Ring + Magic Claw

[Tracat]

Just found a weird one, combining Pixie Dust with notes, ie Charlene's Letter, Pontius Note etc will give an blank elemental scroll, maybe due to them being paper, but hope this doesn't break any quests?

[eidolon232]

I wouldn't try it before reading them first + paper is relativly common anyway.

[Tracat]

Found a sharp tooth and long rat tail at the enchanter vendor, decided to give it a try! Both don't work as belts, with rope anyway.

Magic Long Rat Tail = Pixie Dust + Long Rat Tail
Long Rat Tail Amulet (Poison Resistance +10%) = Thread + Magic Long Rat Tail
Long Rat Tail Ring (Poison Resistance 10%) = Jeweller's Kit: Ring + Magic Long Rat Tail

Magic Sharp Tooth = Pixie Dust + Sharp Tooth
Magic Sharp Tooth Amulet (Charisma +1, Fire Resistance 10%) = Thread + Magic Sharp Tooth
Sharp Tooth Ring (Charisma +1, Fire Resistance 10%) = Jeweller's Kit: Ring + Magic Sharp Tooth

[Arteas Naur]

Hmmm anyone got way to use Tenebrium (?) Ores/ Ingots?:D

[Tracat]

Deer Helmet (Constitution +1) = (Aged) Leather Cap + Magic Antler

Worked with purchased Aged Cap, may work with others but it was the only one I could find.
Also found Adult Antler at one of the Vendors but it doesn't combine with Pixie Dust as per normal Antlers, also can't be broken down with knife etc.

[Vanadis]

Wow you're a life saver, omg how nice of you (^.^)/

[VioletShadow]

This is great! Thanks. :)

[eidolon232]

I have just crafted a potion called Filter of the Fearless Imp (Apple + Pumpkin), but no idea what I am supposed to do with it - it is not consumable...

[EldritchBattery]

Can anyone confirm exactly which type of items can contain the +1 Crafting trait? I know for a fact Bracers do but, after hours and hours, cannot find any other item with it. It seems magical rings should have it since they can give +1 Lore or Blacksmithing but they never do.

[eidolon232]

Bracers and Ropes (as in belts) can come with crafting boni.

[Tracat]

I have bracers that are +1 Crafting and +1 Blacksmithing plus a Belt that gives +1 Blacksmithing, with points it means I have 5 in both skills.
