Crafting

Crafting is the act of using crafting materials to create items. It plays a major role in the FOnline 3 economy.

It is also one of the skills. Many players create crafter alts: characters optimized specifically for crafting.

Investing your hard-earned skill points into Crafting progressively unlocks new crafting recipes.

Also, the higher your Crafting skill, the higher the initial amount of equipment experience points (Gear XP) your crafted items receive on average.

Update: Crafting in bulk has its perks! As of patch 6.4, items crafted in batches of 80+ will have their armor/weapon perks upgraded by one rank.

Crafted Gear XP formula

Initial Gear XP calculation is a three-step process.

Step 1: Calculating the base amount of experience points (Base XP).

This is done via a random chance roll with a large spread, whose value is then multiplied by how many items you are creating and double the tier of the items.

Base XP = Random(10000, 200000) * the number of items being crafted * item tier * 2

For example, if you bulk-craft 100 tier II items, the Base XP will be a random value between 4,000,000 and 80,000,000.

Step 2: Calculating the character-specific XP increases (Bonus XP).

The following bonuses are added on top of the Base XP:

• The value of your Crafting skill multiplied by 1000
• 50,000 XP if you're using Cutters;
• 100,000 XP if you're using MacGyver Set;
• 10,000 XP for each point of Luck that you have;
• 1,000 XP for each point of Intelligence that you have;
• 5,000 XP extra for each point of Intelligence that you have if you have the Alien Class Perk.

Step 3: The final calculation.

The total amount of experience points on your crafted gear (Crafted Gear XP) is determined by the following calculation:

Crafted Gear XP = Base XP + Bonus XP

Example

Let's assume that your Crafting skill is 100%, your INT is 5, your LK is 5, you're crafting 100 tier II items, you're not using any tools, and you're not an Alien.

In step 1, your Base XP will be calculated as Random(10000, 200000) * 100 * 2 * 2 = Random(4000000, 80000000).
In step 2, your Bonus XP will be calculated as 100 * 1000 + 5 * 10000 + 5 * 1000 = 155,000.
In step 3, your Crafted Gear XP will be calculated as Random (4000000, 80000000) + 155,000 which means it can be any integer between 4,155,000 and 80,155,000.
