Crafting Recipes

Recipes can be found by playing games, opening chests and taking part in holiday events. They can also be sold and purchased through the Steam Community Market and traded with other players.

Below are examples of some of the recipes you can find. Always read the tooltip of a recipe before trading or purchasing as some recipes have varying inputs. Outputs are based on which type of recipe you use, for example an Augment recipe has an Uncommon, Common and Rare version.

	Recipe: Polymorph Items	Polymorph recipes require several random items of a certain rarity. Once crafted they output a random item of the same rarity.
	Recipe: Augment Items	Augment recipes require random items of a certain rarity and specific items. Once crafted they will output a random item of the next highest rarity.
	Recipe: Craft Exceptional Item	Exceptional Item recipes require a lot of items to craft. Once crafted they will output a specific exceptionally rare item. The output will depend on the recipe.
Recipe: Artificer's Brand	Artificer's Brand recipes require a lot of items of different rarities to craft. Once crafted they will output an Artificer's Brand, which is used to upgrade a courier to Unusual quality.

Crafting

The recipe tooltip will provide you with what you need to input it and what will be the output.




Crafting can be done by right clicking on the recipe thumbnail and choosing "crafting".



The crafting screen will show you a list of empty slots for you to place your items into. Use the backpack viewer beneath this screen to fill them in.




When you're done filling in each field select Apply to craft the recipe. If you've partially completed the recipe you can bind the items into the recipe for use in the future. Saving items into a recipe will consume them, and they cannot be extracted.



Once the craft is complete the item will be placed in your inventory.
