[[File:Recipe3.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Empowered Long Axe recipe.]]

All recipes include one or more [[random properties]], which is what makes crafting a long term activity in the game. There's no telling what modifiers will spawn in those spots, so while there's some predictability to crafted items, there are thousands of potential items that can be created from each recipe; as many as there are [[modifiers]] in the game.

The recipe is seen here on the left, with the resulting item to the right. This one would make an [[Empowered Long Axe]]; a decent weapon for a low level [[Barbarian]]. Crafting items requires the right materials; in this case 6 [[common scraps]], 1 [[bone]], and 200 [[gold]]. [[Materials]] are the raw ingredients obtained by [[salvaging]] items in the [[salvage cube]].

The [[D3 Team]] made the crafting interface simple, and kept the creation of items quick and easy. They want players to spend their time in the dungeons, bashing monsters. Not standing around in town, hammering on an anvil. Thus all the item creation is done by the Artisans, with ingredients primarily obtained from monster killing.
