Crafting in Legend of YMIR: What It Does and Why It Matters

Crafting is the system that lets you convert materials into progress on demand. Instead of waiting for one perfect drop, you craft what your build needs right now: cards, weapons, equipment, upgrade components, and more. It also creates a “loop” with other systems:

• You farm materials (mobs, nodes, dungeons, tasks, offline time).
• You craft items (gear upgrades, cards, upgrade components).
• You enhance or enchant (Forge) to push Combat Power.
• You unlock higher areas and better farms.
• Better farms feed better crafting, and the snowball continues.

If you want faster early progress, crafting is one of the best investments because it makes your progress predictable.

How to Unlock Crafting and Open the Craft Menu

Crafting is unlocked through Main Quest progression and becomes available after you complete the required chapter step (so don’t detour too hard before you unlock it). Once available, you access it from the menu:

• Menu → Craft
• Inside the Craft screen, you can browse item types, see craftable lists, check required materials and currency, and view crafting success rates.
• You can also “favorite” recipes so you don’t have to search for them every time.

Beginner rule: the moment Craft unlocks, favorite your “core recipes” (the ones you will craft again and again). This one habit saves time every day.

Craft Screen Basics: The 4 Things You Should Always Check

Before you craft anything, check these four details:

• Required materials: don’t craft if it empties a material you’ll need for a bigger upgrade in the next hour.
• Required currency: crafting drains silver quickly if you spam it.
• Crafting success rate: some crafts aren’t guaranteed, so plan your material stock accordingly.
• Favorites tab: set up your “daily crafts” and “upgrade crafts” list once and reuse it.

The fastest crafters don’t craft the most—they craft the right things at the right times.

Crafting Priorities: What to Craft First

If you craft randomly, you’ll run out of the exact materials you need for progress gates. Use this priority order instead.

Craft Priority #1: Anything That Unlocks Progress or Breaks a Gate

Craft these first when you’re stuck behind:

• a Main Quest Combat Power requirement,
• a dungeon entry requirement,
• a farming difficulty requirement (Offline Mode or Valhalla).

If a craft immediately helps you enter better content, it’s high value.

Craft Priority #2: Core Upgrade Components You Use Daily

Most players progress fastest when they craft components that support:

• skill upgrades (tomes or upgrade items),
• stable enhancement flow,
• and repeatable improvements that keep their clear speed rising.

If your crafting helps you kill faster and die less, your material farming becomes easier automatically.

Craft Priority #3: Cards and Account Power Systems

Cards matter because they feed long-term systems (Valkyrie/Disir/Companion progress and Story Deck effects). If you only chase gear, your account power falls behind. If you invest a bit into card progression consistently, you become stronger over time without needing perfect luck.

Craft Priority #4: “Nice to Have” Items

These are crafts that feel good but don’t change your progress speed:

• cosmetic-adjacent items,
• low-impact side recipes,
• anything that doesn’t help you clear faster or qualify for better content.

Craft these later, when your daily material engines are stable.

The Golden Rule: Craft for Outcomes, Not for “Completion”

Ask one question before you craft:

“What will this let me do immediately after I craft it?”

Good answers:

• “Enter the next Valhalla floor and farm better.”
• “Upgrade my main weapon safely and clear faster.”
• “Craft skill upgrade materials so my rotation kills packs quicker.”

Bad answers:

• “I just wanted to use my materials.”
• “I’m bored and crafting feels productive.”

This rule alone cuts most wasted crafting.

Material Types: Where Crafting Materials Come From

You farm materials through multiple channels. The key to farming faster is not doing one source forever—it’s rotating the best sources as your day and reset timers progress.

Most material sources fall into these categories:

• Monster drops: steady, scalable, best for long sessions and AFK-style farming.
• Gathering and resource nodes: targeted materials, best when you need specific inputs.
• Tasks and Requests: structured rewards that often include useful crafting items and materials.
• Dungeons and time-based content: high value per minute if you use your daily/weekly time consistently.
• Dismantling: converts extra gear into materials reliably (and helps inventory).
• Trade Station: converts “extras” into Diamonds so you can buy what you’re missing instead of farming forever.

You don’t need every source every day. You need the right mix for your current bottleneck.

Farming Faster Starts With Settings: Auto Gather and Range Control

If your character “wanders” while farming or wastes time swapping targets, your material per hour collapses.

Use Quick Combat Settings to improve efficiency:

• Enable Auto Combat / Auto Gathering as needed.
• Set a reasonable auto attack/gather range so your character stays on route instead of chasing distant targets.
• Use Power Save Mode for long sessions (especially on mobile) to reduce device stress and keep performance stable.

Practical range tip:

• Too large a range = wasted movement and messy pulls.
• Too small a range = idle gaps and slow flow.
• Aim for a range that keeps you constantly working without roaming off the path.

Inventory Discipline: Bag Management Is Material Farming

A full bag is the hidden enemy of efficient farming. If your bag is full, you lose drops, stop your flow, and waste time sorting every few minutes.

Build this routine:

• Sort your bag regularly.
• Dismantle low-value gear in batches.
• Keep tradable items separate until you decide to sell.
• Don’t let weight and penalties ruin your farm session.

Dismantle tips that speed you up:

• The dismantle menu previews what you’ll receive after dismantling.
• Use Batch Select to auto-select items that meet conditions.
• Equipped items cannot be dismantled.
• Be careful with batch selection so you don’t accidentally dismantle important gear.

The fastest farmers treat bag cleanup like a scheduled step—not an emergency.

Dismantling Strategy: Turn Extra Gear Into Crafting Materials

Dismantling is one of the most consistent sources of crafting materials because gear drops are steady. The trick is knowing what to dismantle and what to keep.

What to Dismantle

• Common/Uncommon gear you’ve outgrown.
• Duplicate pieces that don’t help your builds.
• Items you’re sure you won’t sell for Diamonds.

What to Keep

• Gear that upgrades your main slots.
• Pieces you plan to enhance to a stable baseline.
• Items needed for a recipe you’re about to craft.
• Valuable tradables you want to sell.

The “Two Piles” Method

Make your farming easy:

• Pile A: dismantle items (materials now)
• Pile B: tradables or possible keepers (decide later)

This keeps your farm flowing and prevents mistakes when you’re tired.

Tasks and Requests: The Fastest “Targeted Materials” in Early Game

Tasks and Requests are great because they compress reward value into short objectives.

Repeatable Tasks: Daily Material Injection

Repeatable Tasks can be completed up to 10 times per character per day and reset daily. They also support an Auto Progress flow to reduce travel.

How to use Repeatable Tasks for faster materials:

• Do them when you need a specific push (silver, upgrade components, general supplies).
• Use Auto Progress and warp features to reduce downtime.
• Save some runs if you expect to hit a progression wall later the same day.

Requests: Flexible Rewards With Low Setup

Requests are accepted from the Request Board in towns and are ideal for “I need materials but I don’t want to grind mobs for an hour.”

Speed tips:

• Pick Requests that match your current region so you don’t waste travel.
• Finish what you accept—accepting a new Request can replace an in-progress one.
• Use the Warp Scroll: Request Board option if you want to jump straight to the board quickly.

If you want steady materials without boredom, Requests are one of the best tools.

Offline Mode: The Best “Passive Materials” System (Don’t Waste It)

Offline Mode is a farming engine, not a bonus. The base time is limited and resets daily, so treating it casually is expensive.

How to maximize Offline Mode for crafting materials:

• Always set it before logging out.
• Choose the highest difficulty/area your Combat Power can handle reliably.
• Upgrade your Offline Mode target as your character grows—don’t stay in low tiers out of habit.
• Remember: usage time is shared across the account, so it’s a valuable resource.

Offline Mode is how you keep farming materials even on busy days.

Valhalla: Time-Based Dungeons That Feed Your Crafting Loop

Valhalla content matters because it’s time-based and resets. That means if you skip it, you lose potential material value permanently until the next reset.

Efficiency plan:

• Spend your daily default time consistently.
• Choose floors you can clear smoothly (deaths reduce value fast).
• If you’re short on time, prioritize the content that resets daily first.

The big idea: Valhalla doesn’t just give rewards—it keeps your enhancement, crafting, and progression materials flowing so you don’t stall.

Bosses, Expeditions, and Longer Sessions: When to Farm “Big Value” Content

Some content types take longer but can pay off in materials and upgrades that reduce future farming time.

Use them when:

• You have a full play session available (not 10 minutes before logout).
• You can consistently survive and contribute (consistent rewards beat rare “jackpot” thinking).
• You’re farming specific upgrades that improve your crafting loop (better gear means faster material farming everywhere).

If you’re farming with friends or a clan, these sessions become much more efficient because clears are faster and safer.

Trading: The Fastest Way to Get “One Missing Material”

Sometimes the fastest farm is not farming. It’s selling something you don’t need and buying the one item you do.

Trade Station is powerful because:

• You can sell tradable items and settle proceeds in Diamonds.
• When listing, you can view pricing info like recent average unit price and current minimum price.
• If you cancel a listing, the listing fee is non-refundable—so list carefully.

Smart trading rules for crafters:

• Sell duplicates and unused tradables.
• Don’t cancel listings unless you must.
• Use Diamonds to remove bottlenecks (one missing component) rather than constantly buying everything.
• Think like a builder: trade to complete your next upgrade step, not to gamble.

If crafting feels slow, the market often turns “two hours of grinding” into “one good sale.”

Crafting for Skills: Upgrade Materials That Improve Your Farm Speed

Faster farming comes from faster killing and smoother survivability. Skill upgrades are one of the best ways to increase farm speed, and crafting supports them.

Key point:

• Active and Passive skill enhancement tomes can be crafted using Mastering Scrolls (different scroll types for Active vs Passive).

Practical approach:

• Upgrade your main AoE / main clear skill first.
• Upgrade one survivability skill second.
• Upgrade your burst or “big moment” skill third.

This boosts your material per hour because you spend less time per fight and less time healing or dying.

Crafting for Gear: A Simple “Don’t Waste Materials” Plan

Gear crafting can be strong, but it’s also the easiest place to waste materials if you craft too early or too often.

Use this safe plan:

• Early: craft only if it fills a weak slot or breaks a gate.
• Mid: craft to build a stable baseline set you can enhance safely.
• Later: craft as part of a longer-term plan (Epic optimization, seasonal gear goals, or refinement paths).

If you’re crafting gear you’ll replace immediately, you’re converting materials into regret.

Utility Equipment and Gathering Tools: What They Mean for Material Farming

Legend of YMIR includes utility equipment and tool-style items (you’ll see them referenced as gear categories and in drop/probability info). Practically, this means your farming can be supported by gear choices beyond pure combat.

How to use this idea without overcomplicating:

• If you farm resource nodes often, invest in setups that help gathering efficiency.
• If you farm mobs mostly, focus on combat gear and only adjust gathering settings when you need specific node materials.

The best players don’t over-invest in every tool category early. They build what matches their farm style.

Advanced Crafting Path: Refinement, Coins, and Seasonal Materials

As you progress, crafting and materials connect to refinement systems and seasonal crafting goals.

What this means for farming strategy:

• Some valuable crafts require coins and refining stones.
• Certain season systems introduce special crafting materials and limited-time gear rules.
• Tradable rare-grade or higher equipment can become part of refinement inputs in some systems.

Practical rule:

• Don’t jump into advanced crafting paths until your basic loop is stable (daily engines running, bag under control, gear baseline solid).
• When you do start advanced crafting, track materials like you would track a budget: spend only toward a clear milestone.

Advanced crafting rewards planning. Random crafting here is expensive.

The Fastest Material Farming Routine (15, 30, 60 Minutes)

Use this to stay consistent without burnout.

15-minute “busy day” routine

• Quick bag cleanup (dismantle batch + sort)
• Do 1–2 short structured objectives (a Request or a quick Task)
• Set Offline Mode before logging out

30-minute routine

• Daily structured content first (whatever resets soonest for you)
• Repeatable Tasks batch (a few runs)
• Bag cleanup + craft one planned upgrade (only if it breaks a gate)

60-minute routine

• Repeatable Tasks (use enough runs to feel a real material bump)
• One longer-value activity (dungeon time or a focused farm route)
• Trade Station listing (sell duplicates)
• Craft and enhance in one “workshop block” (craft → upgrade → stop)

The secret is batching: do farming, then do crafting, then do upgrading—separately. It keeps you faster and prevents mistakes.

Common Crafting Mistakes (And the Fix)

• Crafting everything the moment it unlocks
• Fix: craft only for gates or planned upgrades.
• Burning rare materials on temporary gear
• Fix: build a stable baseline first; invest big only in keepers.
• Farming with a full bag
• Fix: clean bag before long sessions; dismantle in batches.
• Auto-gather range set too wide
• Fix: tighten range so your character doesn’t wander and waste time.
• Cancelling Trade Station listings repeatedly
• Fix: price carefully, because listing fees don’t return.
• No favorites list in Craft menu
• Fix: favorite your daily crafts and critical recipes once.
• Doing one farming method forever
• Fix: rotate: tasks/requests/offline time/dungeon time/mob farming, based on what your bottleneck is.

Fix these and your crafting feels faster immediately—even if your playtime stays the same.

BoostRoom: Craft Faster, Waste Less, Upgrade Sooner

If you want your crafting and material farming to feel “solved” instead of confusing, BoostRoom can help you build a clear plan around your class, schedule, and goals.

BoostRoom can help you with:

• a personalized “craft first” priority list (what to craft now vs later),
• a material farming route that fits your daily time (15/30/60 minutes),
• bag and dismantle strategy to keep farming smooth,
• Trade Station decisions (what to sell, what to keep, what to buy to remove bottlenecks),
• and a clean upgrade plan that turns materials into Combat Power efficiently instead of randomly.

The goal is simple: more progress per hour, fewer wasted materials, and faster access to the content you actually want.

FAQ

What should I craft first as a beginner?

Craft items that immediately break a gate (Combat Power requirements, missing slot upgrades, or upgrade components you use daily). Avoid “nice to have” crafts until your progression is stable.

How do I farm crafting materials faster without grinding forever?

Combine structured rewards (Tasks and Requests), time-based systems (Valhalla), passive gains (Offline Mode), and dismantling. Use trading to fix bottlenecks instead of farming one missing item for hours.

Is Offline Mode good for materials or only XP?

It’s good for steady progress overall, including the kinds of drops and resources that feed your upgrade loop. The key is choosing the best difficulty you can reliably handle.

How do I stop my character from wandering while farming?

Use Auto Gather/Auto Combat range settings so your character works within a controlled area. A range that’s too wide wastes time chasing targets or nodes.

Should I dismantle everything I don’t equip?

Not everything. Dismantle low-value duplicates and outdated gear, but keep items you plan to sell, items needed for your next craft, or upgrades you might enhance.

Is the Trade Station worth using for crafting progress?

Yes—when used smartly. Sell duplicates and buy missing bottleneck items. Just avoid cancelling listings because listing fees don’t come back.

Does crafting always succeed?

Not always. Some crafts show a success rate. Plan your materials so a failure doesn’t stop your entire upgrade path.
