Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Item combinations?

I can craft one thing, if I try to craft a second time it crashes.

This is a known bug. My workaround is keep all craftable items in a container and carry it around, leaving inventory with free space and craft items then move them to the container.

Containers ? You can carry them ? put things in them ? Do they all have the same number of carrying spaces ?

Yeah you can carry containers and barrels. I keep 3-4 containers, 2 for craftable items and two for consumable items. I keep 2 barrels, 1 for money (since it doesn't always stack) and sellable items and one for just sellables. You can even place containers and barrels into one another for more inventory space. They have the same number of spaces as they do when you find them. It keeps your inventory looking nice and orderly too. I have such a bad case of OCD that I hate seeing things all over the place in my inventory and no sort button to help out. Keeping things in containers helps reduce clutter.

Sounds cool, thanks

Cool, I'll have to try that.

Some more combinations:
Mush of wood + furnace = Sheet of paper (weird way of making a paper)
Tooth + knife = Arrowhead

I was able to craft a few more times out of a barrel before it crashed. It did not like animal skin + pocket knife.

Potato + mobile kitchen = boiled potato
Potato + hammer = cold mashed potatoes
Cold mashed potatoes + mobile kitchen = mashed potatoes
Dough + tomato paste = pizza dough
Pizza dough + furnace = pizza
Leather Armor + Mobile kitchen = crushing resistance +5% (first time) slashing resistance +5% (second time) (Could be random)
Scale Armor + Anvil = crushing resistance and slashing resistance +5% (2-3 times to apply both)
Mail Armor + Anvil = crushing resistance, slashing resistance and piercing resistance +5% (4-5 times to apply all)

Where did you get a tomato? Can't find it anywhere.

Luck of the random loot.

Thanks to the Quarterstaff crafting recipe and my whopping 0 skill in Crafting, I took two pieces of driftwood and made a quarterstaff that does 25-75 Crushing Damage, has an 8% Critical Chance, an extra +1 Intelligence, and the only requirement was 8 Intelligence (the default starting mage stat).

What crafting skills are there ? What do they improve ?

There's just Crafting under Survivor skills. It probably does nothing at the moment, because all crafting recipes seem to be enabled with 0 points in Crafting. In theory, a lot of formulas should require more points into crafting just to attempt to create, and give you a message complaining otherwise.

Making magical items should require a Talent, and that Talent should require Crafting 7 or more to unlock.

Arrow Head + Arrow Shaft should make an ORDINARY Arrow, not a magical one. That's really weird, and it makes magical arrows too cheap.

Since we don't keep track of bow ammo, this ordinary arrow would be useless on it's own, so it needs to be combined with something else to become useful ammo.

Ordinary Arrow + Earth/Fire/Air/Water Essence = magical arrow of some type.

Elemental Essences should probably have all kinds of uses in crafting, maybe even with each other to make some kind of Essence of Magic.

They should probably be reasonably common in loot, and a store in town should also sell Elemental Essences.

Sounds good, thanks for info Stabbey

The quality and availability of items depends on your Crafting skill obviously, though for simple stuff you don't need the crafting skill at all. There is one type of item that requires Fire/Earth/Water Specialist skill instead of crafting but I won't spoil it for ya :P

Eg. filling a cup with oil doesn't require any skill in crafting
With level 1 crafting, combining two minor healing potions yields a medium healing potion; with level 9 you get a large healing potion.

Oops, ninja'd by Stabbey

Stardust Herb + Minor Healing Potion = Reasoning Potion
Augmentor + Any Potion = Raises Potion Level (minor > medium > large)
Fanny Blossom + minor healing potion = charm potion
Farhangite + minor healing potion = intimidation potion
washboard + washing tub = washing tube with a washboard
Butter Knife + anvil = long dagger or rapier (might make more than the two, all I've gotten)
Red Mushroom with white dots + minor healing potion = losing potion? Could be because it is used to make poison

Thanks for the list ^^

I have a question : are combinations with knife working with any knife or does it have to be named "knife"?

I have a paper knife but I can't do any combinations with it...

Dagger, Butter Knife, and Pocket Knife all function in the realm of "Knife"
EDIT: Found a save with a Paper Knife. It worked fine for crafting.

You can find x4 tomatoes just before the beach right at the start where the orcs attacked - they're just on the corner of the cobbled area.

On this note: I cannot for the life of me find an anvil / furnace. Am I just missing something really obvious?


Also, metal / scale scraps? Can you make these? (Not found a file)
