Item Creation allows you to craft powerful weapons and armor by grinding for special items that drop from monsters in Star Ocean: The Divine Force.
Unlock Item Creation
In order to unlock various Item Creation abilities, you must first head to Welch Vineyard's house located in Delryk Village after you have met her in the Seaport Of Rythal.
When you return her lost earing, Welch will give you your first quest.
These quests are unlocked as you progress through the main storyline of Star Ocean: The Divine Force.
You'll unlock more Item Creation abilities as time goes on.
Item Creation Basics
Item Creation can seem a little confusing at first, so this guide will give you a run down on how it all works together.
You can access Item Creation from the Main Menu once you've completed one of Welch Vineyard's Quests.
The first quest you get unlocks Compounding (a simple Item Creation tool that takes in two items and outputs another based on success/failure). Compounding will produce random items based on the materials you select; some items can only be crafted using specific materials. You can also fail to create an item, which results in a basic item given to you.
When using Item Creation, you select a character to perform the action. Each character has their own skill level in each Item Creation Category.
You can raise the level of the Item Creation skill (such as Compounding) by using SP in the same way you would upgrade their skills.
A character can also have Talents, which boost the chances of creating successful items for certain items.
When you use Item Creation, you have a random chance of learning new Talents. You'll also get a bonus of 100 SP when you learn a new Talent.
