In The Division crafting plays an important role. With it, you can create items yourself. We summarize in this guide what you should know about it.
In the operations base of The Division, there are all kinds of stations and devices that you have to get used to their functionalities. We present the crafting station.
Where can I craft items in The Division?
You can start crafting items very early in the game: As soon as you arrive in Manhattan and have visited the operations base, you will find the crafting station near the entrance. Just walk over to the table, which is conveniently marked as “Crafting Station”, and hold the square or x button to start crafting items in The Division after a short animation.
What can I craft?
Basically, you can craft everything except clothing. From weapons to weapon mods to armor pieces, everything is possible.
What materials do I need for crafting and where do I get them?
To craft items, you need materials, i.e., basic components from which the item is assembled. By disassembling certain items, you will receive the following materials:
Weapon parts: You get these by disassembling weapons.
Fabric: You get fabric from disassembling armor pieces.
Tools: You obtain these by disassembling weapon mods.
Electronics: You get this by disassembling gear mods.
It is advisable not to sell these items but to save the valuable materials by disassembling them.
All these materials can also be found in the game world.
Important: There is also the option of material conversion! Here, you can create a higher-quality material from your materials at a ratio of 5:1. From 5 greens, you can thus craft a blue material and from five blues, a high-end material.
Where do I get blueprints?
You need blueprints to manufacture items. Here’s how to get them:
You get blueprints from side missions. You can already see on the map which of them will trigger the respective mission. After completing the mission, you will receive the blueprint.
“Gold prints” can be obtained from Dark Zone vendors. Depending on the seller, you can acquire these with DZ currency or Phoenix Credits. You can see what Phoenix Credits are here.
How many materials does crafting cost?
The number of materials crafting costs depends on the quality of the item.
Green items cost you five pieces of the respective material. For example, a weapon costs five weapon parts.
Blue items cost you, depending on the item, three pieces of the primary resource and one secondary resource.
Yellow / gold items: Here it gets really expensive. A yellow weapon costs five primary and three secondary materials, plus three “Division-Tech”.It is recommended to use crafting intensively only later in the game. After all, a weapon at level 30 costs the same as a weapon at level 5, which quickly becomes worthless. So have patience and use the early game primarily to gather materials.
