How to Craft Gear at the Gear Crafting Station
Placing and Using the Station
Craft and place a Gear Crafting Station. This is the block you use to produce weapons and armor from the mod rather than the vanilla crafting grid. Open it to see the gear crafting interface.
Gear recipes are handled by the mod's crafting system, so the station is where you commit your materials. Gather the base materials your recipe calls for, then place them into the station's slots in the pattern the recipe shows. The station output slot gives you the finished piece.
Feeding the Station
Many gear recipes consume Material items rather than raw vanilla resources. The mod registers material tiers such as Material/Farming/0 through Material/Farming/4, Material/Fishing/0 through Material/Fishing/4, and Material/Meat/0 and Material/Meat/1. Check the recipe for the exact material and count before you start.
Once a piece is crafted, it can be upgraded further. Use the Enchanting Station to apply enchantments, and the Alchemy Station for alchemy-related recipes. If you want to reroll or clean a piece's soul data, use the Gear Soul Cleaner. To break unwanted gear back into materials, use the Salvaging Station.
Keep spare materials on hand: crafting a piece you don't want still costs the inputs, and salvaging returns only part of the value.
