Crafting Orders and Recrafting Guide for Dragonflight (2024)

Crafting Orders is a new system introduced in Dragonflight.To put it simply, it allows players to place an order for a piece of gear, weapon,consumable, or even cosmetics. Other players, crafters, can then see the ordersand proceed to fulfill them. While the explanation sounds easy, there is more toit. In the following sections, you can get a better idea of how the system works,what are the limitations of it, and if it can be of use to you.

Much like with Auction Houses, you need to talk with specific NPCs locatedin certain areas to access the Crafting Order user interface. There are 2 placeswhere this can be done, one of them in Thaldraszus, Valdrakken, and the other onecan be found in Ohn'Ahran Plains, Forkriver Crossing.

As Valdrakken serves as the main hub for Dragonflight, it only makes sensethat you would find the vendors here. They have their own little area calledThe Artistan's Market. Take a look at the images below for the exactlocation of the vendors.

While Valdrakken is the major hub for Crafting, there is also a smaller onelocated in Ohn'ahran Plains, Forkriver Crossing. You can find the CraftingOrder Clerks there and place orders just as easily. Below, you can see theexact location of these Clerks.

There are 2 sides when it comes to Crafting Orders. One side is the placing ofvarious Crafting Orders, and the other one is actually crafting said orders. Whileanyone can place an order, not anyone can fulfill the Order. You need to have thespecific profession, recipes, and skills to actually craft the customer-ordereditem.

Before we get started, there are some limitations in place that you shouldkeep in mind before stepping into the world of Crafting Orders. These are thereto help keep the balance and to prevent one person grabbing up all the craftingorders.

• As a crafter, you can only complete 4 Public Orders per day;
• Guild and Personal Crafting Orders have no daily limits;
• After picking up a Order, you have only 30 minutes to complete it;
• You can only have one work order active at any given time;
• Crafting Orders are server-specific, meaning that you can only see andcraft for people on your own server;
• The orderer does not need to provide all the materials; the missingmaterials can be provided by the Crafter;
• For some higher-level crafts, the orderer needs to provide very specificmaterials which can not be given by the Crafter;

For the Heroic and Mythic craftable gear the orderer must providevery specific materials. These materials can not be provided by the Crafter.You can find a brief list of these materials and where they can be obtainedfrom below.

There are other items, like Spark of Shadowflame and Primal Infusion,which can be used for Crafting, but these are mostly outdated and only allow Craftingup to a fairly low item level.

To place an order, you need to go and talk to an NPC at one of said locationsabove. Doing so will open up a fairly easy interface which allows you to filterfor various items which can be crafted. These items can vary from Soulbound gear, allthe way down to various Battle Pets.

Below, you can see a picture of the Crafting Order window for placing orders,filtered to Plate Bracers.

Once you find the item you wish to get crafted, you can click on it, andit will show you the mandatory and optional Reagents needed to craft it. You,as the client, need to provide the crafting Reagents to place the Order. Youcan also choose the Duration for how long your Order will be up. In additionto the above, you need to also provide a lucrative Commission forthe Crafter for said work.

You can also choose between order types. There is a Public Order, whichcan be picked up by any crafter; there is a Personal Order for a specificperson, and then there are Guild Orders, for only people in your guild.It is important to know that for Public Orders, you, as the orderer, needto provide all the materials. For Guild and Personal Orders, you do not needto provide all the materials, the Crafter can fill in the missing materialsthemselves.

Once the Order is placed, you can see it under the My Orders tab.All your active orders will be shown there with some additional information.

On top of the mandatory Reagents needed to craft a item, there are alsovarious Optional Reagents. These Optional Reagents allow you to modify therequested item further, either by adding extra item levels, specific stats, oreven special effects.

For example, Draconic Missive of the Fireflash, which provides specificsecondary stats for your item, or Magazine of Healing Darts, which adds anadditional effect to your item, can just be bought from the Auction House as theseare created by certain professions. To get a full idea of which profession can createwhat, take a look at the in-depth profession guide linked below.

Others, like Drake's Dreaming Crest all the way up to Enchanted Aspect's Awakened Crestcan be obtained from doing dungeons. Depending on the difficulty of the dungeon,the appropriate Crest will drop. These allow you to upgrade the itemlevel of your item. In order to make obtaining these items easier, take a lookat our Dragonflight dungeon introductions below.

In order to pick up a crafting order, you need to be near your profession'sCrafting Table. These can be found for example, in Valdrakken,next to your Professions hub.

Below, you can see where the Crafting Table is located for the Blacksmithingprofessiong in Valdrakken. If you are having issues locating your profession hub,ask any of the guards in the city for the location.

Once you are near a Crafting Table, you can click on it, and it willopen up a similar interface as with placing orders. At the bottom of the window,navigate to the Crafting Orders tab. From there, you can see all the Ordersthat are currently available. You can also filter and sort for items that youwish to see active orders for.

Once you find an order you wish to craft, click on it to open up a detailedview window. In this window, you can see who placed the Order, your cut of thegold, and additional Crafting Details. If you are satisfied with everything,you can click on Start Order to pick it up for yourself, preventingany of the other Crafter's access to that specific Order.

After picking up the Order, you can click on the Create button in thesame window to create the item and then Complete Order to mail it tothe person who ordered it and obtain your gold.

Recrafting allows you to take a piece of Dragon Isles' crafted gear andtake another shot at it. It requires the original item, some of the originaltradeable reagents that went into it, and a special profession-earned reagentknown as Artisan's Mettle.

Recrafting lets you add, remove, or change out the Optional Reagentsin the gear. Any replaced or removed Optional Reagents will be destroyed in theprocess. It allows you to raise the quality of the gear further if youcan craft it at a higher skill than when it was originally created.

Recrafting will be available to non-crafters too. In that case, you cansend your item to get it recrafted to have its optional reagents changed out,or to potentially have its quality increased.

Just as with regular Crafting Orders, you can also place Recrafting Orders.These are special kinds of orders which allow you to upgrade an already crafteditem to either higher item level, to add some effects, or to change the statson the item.

Recrafting can be accessed from the same place where you can place yourregular Crafting Orders. Just click on the Start Recrafting Orderat the top. After that, the Recrafting page opens, allowing you to pick an itemyou want to recraft.

Once the item is select additional options become available. You can seethe materials needed for the recraft, and the possibility to provide OptionalReagents. These Optional Reagents allow you to alter the item to your needs,adding effects or increasing the item level. You can also see the outcome ofthe recrafting at the top of the page so you know which item you will get.
