Guide talk:Crafting 101

This needs to be a step by step guide to crafting, not just a repeat of the Recipes.


 * How do you get to your crafting menu?
 * How do you determine what items to craft?

Think of the reader being a complete beginner who doesn't know anything about anything. -- Wynthyst  talk  17:12, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Do we need so many crafting videos, though? Seems overkill to me. - Spinfx 10:46, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

This page states that the only items that require a crafting station including a chair or a table include both the chair and table. What about goggles? You create those with the chair and workbench. LPGhatguy 03:20, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

The "complete station" at the bottom (with underwater anvil) claims that the chair is close enough to the workbench to craft table-and-chair items, but it doesn't work for crafting watches, at least. Maybe that recipe actually needs the table, while others only need a chair? -- Mirality 11:12, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Complete station
The picture doesn't feature a Cooking Pot, so it isn't technically "complete". &bull; iLiaWneK &bull; T &bull; C &bull; 20:56, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Two Wood Platforms could easily be placed next to the Loom and the Cooking Pot could go there. I didn't make the pic though, so whoever did needs to update it.--TheFinalBiscuit 15:04, 20 August 2011 (UTC)


 * 1) In the first picture the Loom and the suggested Cooking Pot on Wooden Platforms above altar not usable while standing in front of theFurnace.
 * 2) In the second picture neither Keg nor Loom are accessible from ground level.
 * 3) The third picture is one Table short of being able to craft table-and-chair items. Workbench-and-chair items are however craftable.
 * A better and working example of a complete crafting station would be File:CompleteStation.jpg. --Brickhead 21:38, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

The new 1.2 "Complete station" Is also lacking living wood and honey. 174.54.30.163 20:14, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Ultimate Crafting Station
Doesn't work, Anvil is too far away.

Magical weapons
It'd be useful if the article mentioned how weapons with magical modifiers can sometimes be crafted. Is this completely random, or are their circumstances/materials that can increase the odds? --Sinister Stairs 16:15, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * random, see reforge. items are given a mod when they are created or rerolled through goblin. 96.15.132.196 18:55, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

new player - trouble making a furnace
Hi, I have all the ingredients for a furnace (including workbench) but the option to craft a furnace just isn't coming up for me. Why?! Thanks!

(p.s. I'm playing on Steam) --Correctaphobia (talk) 05:20, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Assuming you placed the workbench, are standing close to it and have the materials in your inventory it should show up. However there are some problems with the console version. So if you are using the console version you should select "Show Available" rather than "Show All". --0icke0 (talk) 08:57, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

1.2 Multicraft 3-level wing
I've decided to make a multicraft wing in my world's center house. Currently it has 2 rooms with an incomplete 3rd. I'll be doing a full article under my user page. It features everything but doesn't pretend to be an Ultimate; you choose the item crafting frequency instead and step into the center of a desired room. As I will progress into Hardmode, I'll add the upgraded versions but it is already complete enough. Take a look: User:ALTracer/Multicraft_Wing ALTracer (talk) 17:24, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Page name
The article name is "Guide:Crafting 101". I have a enquiry. Why is there a "101" in the end of the Article Name? Is there a reason or meaning? Thanks. -- IosKent  ( Talk Page  -  Contribs ) 07:53, 6 August 2016 (UTC)--
 * It's kind of a running joke in the U.S. The "101" signifies that it is the beginner's class, often used to suffix a college course title. Examples would be Chemistry 101, Biology 101, and jokingly Parenting 101. – Ferretwings  (talk ) 15:19, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't we remove it? -- IosKent  ( Talk Page  -  Contribs ) 07:06, 10 September 2016 (UTC)--
 * Edit: NVM. -- IosKent  ( Talk Page  -  Contribs ) 12:19, 26 October 2016 (UTC)--

same thinking but slightly different from IosKent
I think that the name is OK but it is nearly only about crafting station so is currently in deleting.Myfinalettempt (talk) 12:14, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * This guide is to teach new players all the crafting station and how to use them. So there is no reason for this page to be delete. -- IosKent  ( Talk Page  -  Contribs ) 12:17, 26 October 2016 (UTC)--
