:Did you mean "[[Skills and Levels|Crafting (skill)]]"?
The act of '''Crafting''' is a group activity in  and refers to the act using a '''Crafting temple''', which is an essential part of playing '''[[Krafties (game)|Krafties]]''' since it is where the game originally gets it name.
*If you enjoy crafting alot, it can be beneficial to have a '''[[Membership|Gold Memebership]]''' which will ''disable crafting [[cooldown]]s'' and gives ''energy-discount'' for most items you craft.
==Crafting Temple==

:'''Linking''' is what connecting your pet to a '''Crafting Temple''' is called
Crafting temples are one of the most used and useful temples of the three given to trainers as part of their starter packs. This temple is used for players to create items using component parts found from defeating wild creatures, and to create elemental souls to use to bond with captured creatures and create new pets.

*Crafting has several benefits for trainers:
*# Crafting creates items and souls that can be used by trainers or sold in auction and markets for other trainers.
*# Crafting builds experience to further enhance your creature's abilities.
*# Crafting experience can be given out to up to 10 players (including the temple's owner) who link their pets to the trainer's temple, as well as developing social interaction with other trainers. The number of trainers linked in also have a chance of producing higher quality items and souls.

*Using the crafting temple requires the following items
*# Energy
*# Component parts (necklace, shards, nuts, water, etc.)
*# For constructing souls, your attached creature must have at least an overall level of three or OA3 for short.

===The Crafting Process===


=====Crafting Leader=====
*The '''Crafting Leader''' is the '''Owner''' of the temple
*You want as many people possible to link to your ''Crafting Temple'' for the best results
*You can always '''"Clear Craft"''' to force everyone to unlink
*:This is useful when you want to start over again

=====Things you should NOT do while Crafting=====
:*Do '''NOT''' detach your '''[[Krafties Pet]]''' 
:*Do '''NOT''' detach your '''[[Krafties HUD]]'''
:*Do '''NOT''' '''derez/pickup''' or '''move''' your '''Crafting Temple'''
:If you do any of these things, '''you will LOSE your crafted item/soul and any ingredients required in the recipe of it'''

;Keep in Mind

*You cannot link if the temple is full (10 people)
*In order to earn experience while assisting in a crafting, '''stay linked through the entire process''' until it is finished
*If you '''detach''' your pet then you will not earn any experience
*When crafting [[Souls]], the [[Crafting Level]], [[Combat Level]] and [[Mental Level]] of everyone assisting in the crafting can affect the outcome of the soul
*When crafting non food items only the [[Crafting Level]] of the leader and all linked affects the outcome of the item crafted for instance duration of potions and number of uses is usually higher with higher levels linked
*If you switch to a lower pet than the one originally linked to a craft, the '''entire''' outcome of the craft will be affected

==Crafting App==

==Crafting Skill==
:*You earn experience every time you craft something or assist in a crafting (linking to a temple)
:**The experience earned depends on the [[items]] crafted (The higher energy cost means higher exp gain)
:**Some [[Crafting Recipes]] have level restrictions and your pet needs to gain experience to level up the skill.
:*[[Healing Spells]] are affected by the ''Crafting Skill'', which decides when the spells are learned and how much they heal
:**You also earn Crafting [[Experience]] when using Healing Spells, equal to [[hitpoints]] healed.

===Earning Crafting Experience===
:*Whenever you are linked to a [[Crafting temple]] as someone is crafting, you will be rewarded some experience depending on the complexity of the item that was crafted.
:*Whenever you use a '''[[Healing]] spell''', you will gain as much [[experience]] as the number of [[hitpoints]] being healed.


===Gold Membership Benefits===
:There are certain benefits you get for having active  '''[[Membership|Gold Membership]]''' 
:*Your will get a [[Energy]] '''discount''' when crafting, spending less energy than normally on the recipes.
:*Your [[Crafting Temple]] will not go onto '''[[Cooldown]]''' after item/soul has been crafted (so you can craft as much as you want without having to wait)

==Do some Crafting==
[[File:Crafting in progress.png|thumb|500px|A '''crafting session''' being held, you can see: <br>• '''particle chains''' that indicate when somebody is "linked" ''(which are color coded to the [[element]]s)'' <br>• a '''progress bar''' above the temple which shows you how the crafting is going ''(it changes color as the bar fills up, starting red and green when finished)'']]
Crafting in Krafties is one of the major things to do in the game. You craft souls for your pets, mining tools, food to boost your pet's health in battle, amulets to boost your pet's stats, potions, and much more. Also, Crafting Level actually affects how much your pet heals with the heal spells they get. The heal spells are also dependant on Crafting Level, the pet getting the first one at Crafting Level 4.

To craft items you need a few things. 

* A [[Crafting Temple]]. There should be one in your Starter Pack.

* [[Energy]] (E). You can get free daily E by using the free [[spinner]] outside the main store on [[Krafties Island]], and from the [[Daily Gift Chest|treasure chest]] inside the main store. You can also buy E from the store from the [[Energy Fountain]] or from other [[player]]s.

* Ingredients. These drop as [[loot]] from Wild creatures that you battle.

The first things you probably want to start with is some food, as this requires little E to craft, and will be useful for your pet in battles until you get a heal spell. Please see the notecard Krafties Crafting Recipes for appropriate recipes.

===Crafting Sessions===
Crafting is a group activity, [[adventurer]]s gather whenever someone [[rez]]zes a [[Crafting Temple]] so they can assist in the '''Crafting Session'''. Many generous [[player]]s do their crafting in a ''"public"'' crafting area, such as the [[Crafting Hangout]] on [[Krafties Island]] just to share the [[experience]] with whoever is present, so it has become a custom to thank the '''Crafting Leader''' for sharing. 

*'''Public Crafting Sessions''' allow anyone to assist by ''linking''. There are no level restrictions on who can link to the Crafting Temple then
*'''Private Crafting Sessions''' are held on private sims and usually have level restrictions whenever asking for assistance for a crafting
