How does crafting work? In WoW, crafting has played an important role since the latest expansion Dragonflight. You open your crafting interface, select an appropriate item, and craft it. However, you can use simple materials or higher-quality ones to increase the item level. There are five different levels to choose from.
Through crafting, you can now level your character and produce very rare and powerful items. Even tier sets are now possible. Additionally, your equipment can have certain attributes that strengthen crafting, including ingenuity, which saves materials, or crafting speed to craft faster.
