Crafting tutorial missing lol

[Sanctified Reach 420]

Crafting A,B,C's is it worth it when leveling? or should i wait until i get like red gear? please advise.

[Vivianite]

yes
in-game guide exists to explain, the game "tries" to suggest to you via a side-mission to do it but doesn't handhold you step by step like other games do.

it's pretty cut and dry and not as complicated if you take a moment to read things associated with it

IMHO, you should craft whenever you can. And don't hesitate to buy some runes from vendors, to shatter gear you don't use to grab those juicy rare affix shards

use crafting straight away there is way to many shards that drop i have 10,000

[A TIN OF JAR]

Crafting it well worth it, I have had gear I crafted for like 5-10 levels before I found something better.

[FuscusNight]

With how many shards drop , i started crafting fairly early too.

It always helps to balance resistance as you will need 75% in cold and lightning by the time you get to Act 8 bosses.

In general enemies apply 1% resistance penetration per level up to 75%, meaning in a level 20 area (press tab and see area level on top right of screen), mobs apply 20% penetration. If you have no resistance your resistance will be -20% causing you to take a lot more damage for a specific type.

I try to keep my resistance across the board slightly above the area level I'm leveling in if possible, (physical mainly at first) through crafting, applying either specific resistances, elemental (light, fire, cold) or vitality (poison, necrotic) affixes.

While it make little difference in the early levels as you kill things fairly quickly, it gets you used to crafting when ever needed and in general used to looking out for certain gear with certain affixes along the way.

Definitely a game where you can start crafting while you're leveling through campaign. You will keep getting more and more materials for it, and even runes to make more materials out of gear you find. Don't be afraid to use those mats. They are abundant.

Yes, accessible crafting is one of the strongest mechanics in an ARPG game
Find what your build wants most, and if you find loot that has one affix you want and another free slot, craft the other damage modifier onto it to make it an usable weapon
