Crafting and Forging

You can craft your armor on your own using our Crafting Recipes page without needing to create any artwork.

If you'd like to do an extra step to get a custom item with your original armor design, you can forge your armor. Forging works by making an artwork with your armor design and submitting it to the queue. Your crafted item will be swapped for your forged item. This will create a unique item which you can use yourself or sell or trade to another player.

How to Forge

Forging is an exta step you can do after crafting your armor to get a version of your armor with custom artwork. It is completely optional.

DISCLAIMER

If you decide to forge, once you forge your armor, please understand that it becomes an in-game item and thus your art becomes a commodity with in-game value that can be traded and sold to other players. If you ever sell or trade it to another player, you wont be able to control what happens to that item and the art cannot be removed from the game. We will only honor requests to remove your art from the item if you are still the owner of the item.

Art Requirements

When you forge, your artwork must meet the following requirements

• must match the color aster used to craft the armor. See the Aster Color Guide for more info on colors. 
  • If you craft Vermilion Armor, the colors used in the armor must be oranges, reds, pinks, or browns. 
  • If you craft Silver Armor, the colors used must be greys, whites, or blacks.
  • If you craft Rainbow Armor, the color can be any color. It does not have to be rainbow.

FAQ

• Can I craft more than one set of armor and switch between them?
  • Yes. Once your armor has completed crafting, you'll be able to equip and de-equip armor yourself from your character sheet. 
• Can I upgrade my armor?
  • Yes. You can start with medium armor for example, then later create a new crafting request for heavy armor. You can reuse the same artwork but must pay the difference in materials and the aster color and element must match.
• Can I craft elemental aster armor?
  • No. Previous versions of armor crafting allowed for elemental armor but we took this out of the game for various technical reasons.
• Is the armor locked to my character?
  • No. Once it's crafted you can equip it to other characters or even sell or trade it with other players.

• Can I use the same submission for crafting armor and weapons?
  • You may use the same submission for crafting multiple armor and weapons as long as all crafted pieces are depicted. You can't reuse the same art to craft armor over and over.
