Crafting in Elden Ring is a huge part of the game that you don't want to miss out on. You can create all sorts of useful items, from arrows and bombs to powerful consumables that will give you an edge in battle. I remember when I first started playing, I completely ignored crafting and had a much harder time than I needed to. Once I figured out how to craft, it was a game-changer. I could finally create the items I needed to take down tough bosses.

So, how do you craft in Elden Ring? It's actually quite simple. First, you need to get the Crafting Kit. You can buy this from Merchant Kalé at the Church of Elleh for 300 runes. The Church of Elleh is one of the first locations you'll discover in Limgrave, so you can't miss it. Once you have the Crafting Kit, you'll be able to access the crafting menu from the main menu.

Finding Crafting Recipes

Of course, you can't craft anything without recipes. These are found in Cookbooks, which are scattered throughout the Lands Between. You can find Cookbooks in chests, buy them from merchants, or get them as rewards for completing quests. There are a ton of Cookbooks to find, each with its own set of recipes. I remember the excitement I felt every time I found a new Cookbook. It was like opening a present and discovering all the new things I could create.

Here's a quick rundown of what you'll need for crafting:

• Crafting Kit: As mentioned, you'll need this to start crafting.
• Cookbooks: These contain the recipes for all the different items you can craft.
• Materials: You'll need to gather materials from the world to craft items. These can be found everywhere, from plants and animals to enemy drops.

Once you have everything you need, you can start crafting. Just open the crafting menu, select the item you want to craft, and if you have the required materials, you'll be able to create it. It's that easy!

Crafting is a great way to make your journey through the Lands Between a little bit easier. You can create items that will help you in any situation, whether you're exploring a new area or fighting a tough boss.
