Basic Crafting Information
- Players have a limited number of crafting slots. Each crafted item takes up 1 crafting slot. Crafting slots are awarded through quests. You can get your first crafting slot by doing quests for Eudora Tangletree in Olde Town. Once an item is created, a cooldown timer will be started on that crafting slot.

So you’re looking for information about starting your crafting quests and crafting some awesome gear or furniture? Here is a crafting guide with some vital information that will make your journey towards becoming an experienced crafter easier!
What is Crafting?
Crafting is the process of creating something new out of several ingredients (a little like cooking). You do this at a Crafting Station (which I will talk about below in this article). Through the process of crafting, you can make some very good gear for your wizard, rare furniture items and lots of other items.
Though there’s a catch though: you can’t, for example: craft Avalon level gear without having the Legendary Artisan badge. In order to gain the badges required to craft the items you want, you have to do various quests throughout the Spiral. These are side quests given to you by NPCs.
How do I become a Legendary Artisan?
To get to a certain level of crafting, you need to do your crafting quests. It’s required to do them in the correct order. Every series of quests will give you a new badge, which allows you to craft more complicated things:
- Wizard City – Olde Town: Eudora Tangletree’s crafting quests (link to guide) — Novice Crafter
- Krokotopia – Oasis: Wul’yahm’s crafting quests (link to guide) — Apprentice Crafter
- Marleybone – Regent’s Square: Felicia Worthigton’s crafting quests (link to guide) — Initiate Crafter
- Mooshu –Jade Palace: Toshio’s crafting quests (link to guide) — Adept Crafter
- Dragonspyre –Atheneum: Balthazar Dragonthorn’s crafting quests (link to guide) — Master Artisan
- Celestia – Floating Land: Pierce Stanson’s crafting quest (link to guide) — Grandmaster Artisan
- Zafaria – Baobab Market: Koyate Ghostmane’s crafting quests (link to guide) — Legendary Artisan
- Azteca –Three Points: Oztomeca the Weaver’s crafting quests (link to guide) — Transcendent Crafter
- Khrysalis – Silent Market: Stendill Hammertail’s crafting quest (link to guide) — Promethean Crafter
- Arcanum – Ignus Ferric’s crafting quest — Champion Crafter
- Arcanum – Ignus Ferric’s crafting quest (link to guide) — Visionary Crafter
- Arcanum – Ignus Ferric’s crafting quest (link to guide) — Revered Crafter
Do I need to be a certain level to do a crafting quest?
No, everyone can do these crafting quests, as long as they do them in the right order. This means you can teleport to a friend to pick up the next quest when you’re ready. This holds true up to Zafaria: the Zafaria crafting quest is unfortunately only available for wizards that have quested to Zafaria, because it requires a prequest that you can only do after you reach Zafaria.
What kind of things can I craft?
- Gear: From the moment you hit level 50 and higher, it’s always good to keep an eye open for crafted gear. Grizzleheim has some very nice gear for level 56 and up. For Avalon and beyond, Shane MacGobhann sells awesome critical block boots and Llewelyn sells some pretty neat robes which are an upgrade for Waterworks gear. If you’re level 58 and looking to improve your incoming and outgoing health, take a look at the crafted Stellar Signet and Cosmic Kris in Celestia.
- Furniture Items: For the decorators amongst you, there are so many gorgeous items you could craft! Just to mention a few: teleporters, housing games, and what would you think of your very own copy of the Carousel from the Commons?
- Pet Snacks: I think this used to be a big thing back in the day before mega snacks. I remember crafting a few AmbrOs Cereal snacks in the day… Now? Not so much. But hey, it’s always an option!
- Treasure Cards: You can craft Treasure Cards of your own school by talking to the School tree in Ravenwood! I’ve personally only found use for crafted Doom and Glooms when I couldn’t find any in the Bazaar.
- Spells: The spells Brimstone Revenant, Deer Knight, Goat Monk, Winter Moon and many others can be crafted! No need to farm that stingy Loremaster, you could just craft one of them. There are two spell recipe vendors in the Spiral at the moment: Master Yan Kan Kook in Mooshu and Grady in Avalon.
- Houses: Yes! You can craft houses too! At the moment, there are 3 houses you can craft: the Celestial Observatory, the Wyrd House and the Watchtower Hall. They’re a lot of work, but totally worth it if you want a less common castle!
- Other reagents: Sometimes a recipe requires rare reagents. You can create rare reagents out of regular reagents. This process is called transmuting. You can transmute Stone Blocks into Fossils for example.
- Jewels: There are plenty of jewel recipes going around varying through many different levels.
What do I need in order to craft?
- Reagents
- Some recipes require Treasure Cards, Furniture Items or Gear as ingredients
- A Crafting Station
- A dorm or castle to put your Crafting Station
- A recipe.
- Time. Patience.
What are Reagents?
Reagents are things like Mist Wood, Cat Tail and Lava Lily. They are used as ingredients in crafting recipes. You can find different reagents throughout the Spiral, either by harvesting them, defeating monsters, or purchasing them. Reagents go in your reagent bag, which you can access by selecting the Crafting tab in your spell book, or by pressing “J” on your keyboard. You can find more information about reagents in this article.
Recipe Vendors
Crafting is a little bit like cooking in the sense that you need a recipe to do so! Recipes have to be bought. There are currently 75-ish Recipe Vendors in the Spiral, each with their own special recipes :O That’s a bit too much to list in this article! We will add links here once we get more articles done on the subject.
How can I see my recipes?
All the recipes you have purchased are visible in the Crafting tab in your spell book. Press “Esc” on your keyboard and go to the Crafting tab. You can also access this tab by pressing “J” on your keyboard.
Where can I find the Crafting Stations?
Crafting Stations are tables used to craft specific items. There are several different crafting tables:
- Basic Crafting Station
- Card Crafting Station
- Equipment Crafting Station
- Housing Crafting Station
Eudora gives you a free Basic Crafting Station. It will be in your backpack with other Furniture items. If you’ve sold or lost yours, you can buy a new Basic Crafting Table from the Furniture Shop Keepers in Krokotopia, Mooshu, Marleybone and Dragonspyre. The Bazaar is another option. They’re not always available there, so I’d check a Furniture Shop Keeper instead.
Each Crafting Station has its own recipes. When you’re at the Card Crafting Station, for example, you will NOT be able to see recipes that are made at the Basic Crafting Station. Hence, if you’re sure you’ve bought a recipe, but it doesn’t show up when you activate your Crafting Station, it’s likely you’re using the wrong Station.
How can I check which Crafting Station I need?
Wizard101 Crafting Guide
Because different recipes require specific crafting tables, you might need to check which one you require for a certain recipe. To do that, open the Crafting tab in your spell book or press “J” on your keyboard. Then hover over the vial icon in the lower left corner of the window, as pictured below:
What’s a crafting slot?
A crafting slot is a possiblity to craft something. Each item crafted takes up one crafting slot. Once an item is created, a cooldown timer will be started on that crafting slot. When you start crafting in Wizard City, you will have one crafting slot. As you advance, you will be given additional crafting slots from the crafting quests. For each slot you receive there will be a new timer on your Character Page. If you craft something, the timer on the Character Page will show the cooldown time that you need to wait before that slot can be used again. The cooldown time depends on the item you are crafting.
What will you craft first?
Let us know in the comments below!
This guide will lead you through the steps to get your SECOND crafter badge, Apprentice Crafter. After you get the Novice Crafter badge in Wizard City, Eudora will give you a second quest right away. You don’t have to be any specific level to get this crafting quest. The only prerequisite is that you’ve finished the Wizard City crafting quest. You can read all about the Novice Crafter quest in my previous guide here.
How do we begin?
After you finish your Novice Crafter quest in Wizard City, Eudora Tangletree will direct you to talk to Wul’Yahm in the Oasis of Krokotopia. You can find him on one of the islands on the left when you come out of the Spiral pyramid.
Quests required to get your crafting badge:
- Krok Watcher: Talk to Wul’yahm
- Ring in the New: Craft 2 Rings of Insight
- A Set of Steak Knives: Craft 2 Poniards of Gallantry
1. Krok Watcher
- Mission: Talk to Wul’yahm
- How: Type “X” on your keyboard when you’re near him :p
- Where: In the Oasis of Krokotopia
2. Ring in the New
- Mission: Craft 2 Rings of Insight
Step 1: Buy the recipe
Buy the recipe from Wul’yahm by pressing “X” on your keyboard when you’re close to him. There will be the option “Recipe shop“. Search for the item called “Ring of Insight” and click “Buy“. Press “J” on your keyboard. You should now be able to see the recipe.
Step 2: Get the reagents
Wizard101 How To Get Crafting Slots Online
Get the reagents mentioned in the recipe. To make 2 Rings of Insight, we need:
- 2 Citrine
- 12 Simple Vial
- 8 Parchment
- 12 Stone Block
Did you notice I doubled the ingredients needed in the recipe? I did this because — for every crafting quest — you need to make TWO of the item.
Where to get the reagents:
- Citrine and Simple Vial can be bought from Al Saf’wan, who is conveniently located next to Wul’yahm. You can also buy these in the Bazaar, but generally Reagent Vendors offer them at a lower price.
- Parchment and Stone Block can be bought in the Bazaar or harvested in the Spiral. Parchment is found in various places in Krokotopia, while Stone Blocks are most common in Dragonspyre and Avalon. Do not despair: you can find them in Krokotopia too. I personally recommend the Entrance Hall for collecting both of these reagents (the Entrance Hall is right inside the pyramid when you’ve taken the Ferry on the right in the Oasis).
Why the entrance hall?
The entrance hall has three spots for Parchment(marked in purple) and three spots forStone Blocks (marked in yellow). Pick up the reagents you see while running from the entrance doors up the stairs, down the other side and back to the entrance doors. Then change realms and repeat. To change realms, press ctrl+M on your keyboard and pick a different realm. Or press “Esc” and it will bring up your book, click on the “Realm” and change it from there.
Step 3: Craft the rings
Go to your home and use the Basic Crafting table. If you’ve accidentally sold your Crafting Station, you can buy a new one from any of the Furniture Vendors in the Spiral (closest one: take the Ferry to Krokosphinx and talk to Ea‛Rik). Craft two Rings of Insight. You will have to wait half an hour for the crafting slot to free up again after crafting the first.
Afterwards, talk to Wul’Yahm. He will give you the third quest you need to complete in order to get your Apprentice Crafter badge.
3. A Set of Steak Knives
- Mission: Craft 2 Poniards of Gallantry
Step 1: Buy the recipe
Just like for the rings, you need to buy the recipe from Wul’yahm.
Step 2: Get the reagents
Get the reagents mentioned in the recipe. To make 2 Poniards of Gallantry, we need:
- 12 Jade
- 6 Simple Vials
- 10 Deep Mushroom
- 10 Stone Blocks
Where to get the reagents:
- Jade and Simple Vial can be bought from Al Saf’wan, who is conveniently located next to Wul’yahm. You can also buy these in the Bazaar, but generally Reagent Vendors offer them at a lower price.
- Deep Mushroom and Stone Block can be bought in the Bazaar or harvested in the Spiral. Stone Blocks are found in stoney places, while Deep Mushroom is most common in dark areas without sunlight. Think of any place where everything seems gloomy and a little wet, and you’re sure to find Deep Mushrooms there. In Wizard City, there’s the Dark Cave for example. For Krokotopia, one recommendation could be the Ahnic Family Tomb.
Why the Ahnic Family Tomb?
The Ahnic Family Tomb is by no means the ONLY place in Krokotopia where you can find a lot of Deep Mushrooms. It does, however, have six spots of Deep Mushroom (marked in purple on the map) as well as several wooden chests, several spots for Parchment and several spots for Stone Block.

Run around in the area, pick up what you see and then change realms and repeat. To change realms, press ctrl+M on your keyboard and pick a different realm (less crowded ones are usually good when collecting reagents). Or press “Esc” and it will bring up your book, click on the “Realm” and change it from there.
Step 3: Craft the poniards

Wizard101 Crafting Levels
Go to your home and use the Basic Crafting table. If you haven’t sold it, your crafting table should be in your home already, or in your backpack. If you have lost yours, you can buy a new one from the Furniture Vendors in the Spiral (closestone: take the Ferry to Krokosphinx and talk to Ea’Rik). Once you have your table, craft two Poniards of Gallantry.
Afterwards, talk to Wul’Yahm. He will grant you your Apprentice Crafter badge and give you the quest to start your third questing adventure in Marleybone.
