I believe you can also skip the first couple of steps if you don't need to get important ingredients (ex: Object X and Mealy Apples) all together and you also want to inherit the highest rarity ingredients onto the final product, and just craft the Crown and reset until you get the ingredients you want inherited onto it. If you do this right you should be done with resetting within about 15 or so minutes). Then fill the empty slots with high rarity ingredients and the Crown, then reset for a while until you manage to get inheritance from only the Crown (I believe it's like a ~3% chance, so put your forge or crafting table right next to your diary, and figure out what stats correspond to not getting all inheritance from the Crown so you don't have to talk to Barrett. I'm not checking recipes so I'm going off the top of my head, but you want to craft headgear that allows for as many of the best rarity ingredients in the default recipe as you can. An indigo ribbon you've added 10 Firewyrm Scale to will have the same override properties as one with nothing.Īt step 6, isn't that not optimal? Because whatever you're crafting with the Crown isn't going to be able to reap level and rarity bonuses. Upgrades are also not considered when performing an override. Override always takes the base stats of a normal version of that item, not one whose stats you've modified.

It will then preform the override using the base stats of a NORMAL crown which will finally give you an Indigo Ribbon with the stats of a crown and the inheritance of your headband from step 2.Īt this point you'd upgrade your indigo ribbon with whatever you wanted making the ultimate helmet.Īlso keep in mind that if you then took your finished Indigo Ribbon and used it to try and make another helmet (say a Four Seasons) You'd have a helmet that has the stats of an Indigo Ribbon not a crown. The game will check your crown first and make sure the, , are all inherited. You would have used a, ,, and finally to make it. Let's say you choose to make an Indigo Ribbon. Just make sure the ONLY extra indignant you add is your Crown with the headband stats. Pick another crown or another headband or maybe an indigo ribbon it does not matter. Take your crown (with its terrible headband stats but amazing inheritance) and use it in any helmet recipe. How do you get around that? By performing the override a second time. Yes, because you used a headband in a crown recipe you now have a crown with the terrible base stats of a headband. So for our Crown example from step 3 the game will see the headband with, , on it and automatically transfer those 3 items to the crown without checking anything else. However the game will also prioritize override items over everything else. This is the major issue that most people run into and that pretty much every crafting guide gets wrong. To clarify when you make an item that only has 1-3 ingredients in its recipe the items used to actually make the item will never be Inherited but when an item uses 4 or 5 ingredients items used to actually make it will almost always be Inherited. Normally, you would never be able to get, , onto a crown because with 4 and 5 recipe items the game will prioritize the high end ingredients used to make the item over anything else. Most people think the crown has the best base stats so that's what I'm going with. Next, pick the item whose base stats you like the most. Because is NEEDED to make the headband it cannot be inherited therefore, , MUST be used instead.

The game will make you a headband and will randomly select 3 things for the headband to inherent. Put a, ,, into a headband recipe and craft. Again, you can pick ANY 3 things this is just what I'm going with. Now, you need to ask yourself what 3 items do you want your FINAL headgear to have? Let's say you want your final headgear to have, and. The only required ingredient to make a headband is a So pick the headband recipe and add a.

In our helmet example it would be Headband. The best way to create the best items in the game would be to first make the cheapest item in that category. OK, I'll give you the most complicated example I can think of.

I figured I'd post it here for anyone that cares. Someone was asking me to explain this god awful mess of a crafting system.
