God of War Ragnarok: Crafting – Guide
God of War Ragnarok continues with the events that happened in the 9 Realms and Kratos and Atreus have to face many enemies and Gods to face. They must prepare for the fights and one of the things that you can do to prepare them for the fight is to craft useful items that will increase the strength and defense of Kratos and Atreus.
In this guide, we’ll tell you how to craft in God of War Ragnarok.
Crafting
Crafting is used to make different Armor Sets for Kratos as well as Atreus and you can craft attachable items of weapons as well that’ll increase the strength and defense of those weapons. For Crafting, players will need to gather the resources in their adventure in the Realms. They will get different sots of resources that will be used to craft armor sets, items, consumables, and much more. However, the same resources are also used to upgrade the weapons and Armor sets of Kratos and Atreus.
The first time players will get to use the crafting option is when they get to Sindri’s house. Brok will be waiting for us in the house and you can interact with him to craft a couple of Armor Sets of Kratos as well as Atreus. Crafting will consume Hacksilver which is the in-game currency with some resources that you’ll find from killing enemies, looting chests, breaking barrels, etc.
Usually, for level 1 items whether it’s weapons or armor, you’ll be going to craft it only with Hacksilver then for the next level, you’ll upgrade those items with Hacksilver as well as the resources. Upgrading things will require more resources so you do want to get the resources because they’ll be going to use in crafting and upgrading your weapons, armor sets, and consumables.
