Crafting in Anthem Anthem Guide and Walkthrough

The crafting system in Anthem is very simple, but it is also highly useful in creating specialized Javelin builds. Usually, equipment, weapons, and upgrades are collected from chests, received as loot from stronger enemies or by completing Story Missions. Unless you have high tier blueprints, you are very limited in what you can craft.

How to craft items and upgrades?

Go to the Blueprints tab to check which items you can craft.

Select a blueprint to see which crafting materials you need to make a given item.

All items are crafted in the Forge. You can change weapons and upgrades used by your Javelin by selecting specific parts. Switch to the bar displayed in the top of the screen to check your blueprints. Select a blueprint to get detailed information on:

1. What crafting materials you need to craft it,
2. The level and power of a given upgrade,
3. Its bonuses are selected randomly.

How to craft items from higher tiers?

You need blueprints to craft items from higher tiers. You can get them in a few ways:

1. Improve reputation with factions [Modules / Consumables],
2. Complete challenges for your equipment [weapons / Support gear and other - rocket launchers, systems etc.] - abilities or weapons. Thanks to mastering weapons, you will get the best blueprints (you can check your progress in Journal -> Challenges - Gear/Weapon),

Thanks to high reputation, you will get a lot of blueprints for modules and consumables.

There are many ways to improve your relationship with the factions - collect secrets and crafting materials in the Freeplay mode, complete missions, and speak with NPCs in the Fort Tarsis. After reaching a new level, you will get a set of high-level blueprints. Your rewards and current relationship level can be checked in Journal -> Challenges -> Factions.

What is the best time to craft new items?

There isn't much point in crafting items when your level is low (about level 20). Why? Loot depends on your current level. At the beginning (until around level 20), you level up after almost every Story Mission. Your crafted items may soon become useless. We recommend completing the main story and then focusing on building your Javelin from scratch.
