Crafting is done at The Anvil and is a huge part of IdleOn to help you progress through the various areas of the game. From making end-game equipment, to crafting specific tools for skills, you can begin Crafting by clicking on The Anvil in Blunder Hills World 1
In the beginning, you'll only have a few items available to craft, but as you progress you'll unlock more and more. There are various methods to unlocking crafting recipes, including hunting IdleOn Monsters, completing Tasks and more.
Crafting is influenced by your Smithing Level, which can boost production rates, special craft chance and EXP multipliers. Smithing is also used at The Forge when smelting ores into bars.
As of Patch V2.27, you can now craft items from anywhere using the Codex menu.
The Anvil
The Anvil is available from the get-go and is where you can craft items in IdleOn. Items that you can craft appear in the Anvil Tabs on the right; any items that have a Question Mark (?) symbol need to be unlocked through various methods in IdleOn.
You'll begin with just Anvil Tab 1. The other Anvil Tabs are unlocked through crafting the specific Anvil Tab item.
The other part of The Anvil is the Produce Tab, which allows you to produce material items passively. The types of items you can produce is dependent on your Smithing Level, which is increased by crafting more items.
Below you can find all the items available to craft at the Anvil:
Anvil Produce Materials
By selecting the Produce tab on the Anvil, you can also set each character to passively produce specific materials. These materials are also used for crafting items, upgrading Stamps, Alchemy bubbles and so on.
You'll want to make sure each character is always producing items. Each character has a max capacity to store produced materials; once you hit max, you'll need to deposit the materials into your Inventory or Storage to continue producing items.
Use the Quick Deposit button to quickly put all produced items into your Storage.
The following items can be made in the Produce tab:
