Crafting



Crafting is a feature that allows players to create new cosmetic items by combining other cosmetic items. Crafting requires Recipes, consumable tools that indicate the items needed to craft the new item.

Acquiring Recipes
Recipes can be obtained by:


 * Chance from opening the Ancient Scroll Case and Treasure of Heroic Bounty.
 * Chance as a drop after playing matches.
 * Players can receive both a cosmetic item and a recipe in one game.
 * Playing the Diretide 2013 game mode.
 * Through trade or purchase on the Steam Market.

How to craft
To craft, right click on the Recipe in the Armory menu. The materials needed are outlined in the Recipe's tooltip. Fill in the slots with the requested items and you are ready to craft.
