What is Crafting in Evony

Crafting is the process of creating equipment for your Evony Generals. These pieces of equipment possess powerful buffs. Evony Crafting is undertaken in the Forge building and will require you to collect many materials to be consumed when crafting.

Depending on the level of the equipment you are crafting, it can take a long time to complete. Once they have been completed you are able to refine, upgrade and improve the star level of each piece of equipment. This will improve their buffs even further.

When attached to a General, the Evony General Equipment will apply many powerful buffs to that General. This can include buffs to Gathering, against Boss Monsters, and to different Troop Types.

Keep reading this Evony Equipment Crafting Guide for all you need to know about getting the most out of Crafting in Evony.

Evony Equipment Types

There are several different types of equipment that can be crafted from the forge building. Most pieces of equipment are useful for all troop-type marches.

However, the type of weapon you want to craft will depend upon the General’s main troop type. Each piece of equipment and its main use is outlined below.

Equipment	Use
Helmet	All Troops
Armor	All Troops
Leg Armor	All Troops
Boots	All Troops
Ring	All Troops Monster Hunting
Bow	Ranged Troops
Spear	Mounted Troops
Axe	Siege Troops
Sword	Ground Troops
Staff	Duty Generals
Toga	Duty Generals
Robe	Duty Generals

Evony Equipment Crafting Requirements

There are 3 key requirements that must be met when crafting equipment in Evony. These are: having enough materials, your forge being a high enough level, and having the correct equipment scroll.

The better the equipment that you are crafting, the higher the requirements for each of these things will be. Indeed, the number of materials required starts to increase very rapidly as you work your way up the equipment tiers.

There are currently 11 different tiers of Evony Equipment that can be crafted in the forge. These are outlined below along with their scroll and forge level requirements. Please note, that equipment within the same tier can have a different name depending on its type as seen below.

Tier	Forge	Scroll
Agility Inferior Wolfskin Iron	1	None
Edge Solidity Vagrant Buckskin	1	None
Transcendence Cloth	5	None
Elite Standard Leather	9	None
Champion Fighter	13	None
Mithril Light General	17	Mithril Light General
King	21	King
Dragon	27	Dragon
Ares	30	Dragon Equipment
Achaemenidae	33	Achaemenidae
Imperial	30	Ares Equipment
Parthian	30	Achaemenidae Equipment
Staff	33	Staff
Toga	33	Toga

Please note that Ares, Parthian, and Imperial equipment have further requirements such as Shrine level and already possessing other equipment. This is covered in the Evony Upgrading Equipment section further down in this Evony Equipment Crafting Guide.

How to Speed up Evony Equipment Crafting

As you start to craft higher tier levels of Evony Equipment, the time taken to complete will increase significantly. Luckily, there are several ways to decrease the time that crafting takes. This includes:

• Switching your Monarch Equipment Crown to the Agile Crown.
• Improving and activating your VIP level.
• Assigning a Duty Officer to the Forge building.
• Switching your Evony Culture to Japan.
• Upgrading the Blacksmith research in the Defense Research Tree at the Academy building.

Evony Equipment Sets

Evony Equipment Sets are combinations of certain types of equipment attached to a General which will give you even more buffs. Lining these up correctly can be a great way of cheaply improving the buffs from equipment.

All the different Evony Equipment Sets currently available are outlined below. This includes details on what equipment the General must wear to gain the buff and what the buff is.

Evony Equipment Refining

Crafted Evony equipment can be improved even further by refining it. This is done by clicking on the Forge building, selecting the Craft option, and then navigating to the Refine tab. Here you can select the equipment you wish to refine.

Refining equipment costs refining stones and gold. The higher the tier of the equipment, the more it will cost for each of these resources. When refined, the equipment will have 4 additional buffs added to it. The buffs added depend on the equipment type as outlined below.

Equipment	Buffs
Helmet	Troop HP Gathering Speed Sub-city Gold Production Speed Sub-city Construction Speed Sub-city Training Speed
Armor	Troop Defense Troop Load Sub-city Gold Production Speed Sub-city Construction Speed Sub-city Training Speed
Leg Armor	Troop HP Gathering Speed Sub-city Gold Production Speed Sub-city Construction Speed Sub-city Training Speed
Boots	Troop Defense Troop Load March Speed March Speed to Monsters Sub-city Troop Capacity
Ring	Troop Attack Troop Load Sub-city Gold Production Speed Sub-city Construction Speed Sub-city Training Speed
Weapon	Troop Attack Gathering Speed March Speed March Speed to Monsters Sub-city Troop Capacity

Each time you refine a piece of equipment, the buffs will be a random selection from the possibilities in the table above. In addition, the value of this buff will change. You should refine many times until you get the buff you want with a high value.

Once you are happy with one or more of the buffs, you can lock them in so they do not change the next time you refine the equipment. This is done by selecting the little padlock icon next to the buff. This will add an additional Gem cost to the refining process.

Evony Equipment Star Level

Each piece of equipment can be improved further by upgrading its star level. The maximum star level for equipment is 5 stars. It costs gold to upgrade the star level, with the amount increasing for each additional star added.

In addition, each time a star is added, it will improve the basic buff attributes for the piece of equipment. Indeed, it will also improve the power of the General that it is equipped to.

To improve the Star Level of your Evony Equipment, navigate to the Forge Building, click on the Craft option and then select the Star tab. Here you simply need to select the equipment you wish to improve the Star level of and click Upgrade Star.

Upgrading Evony Equipment

The Evony Equipment Upgrade function is used to craft Ares, Imperial, and Parthian Equipment. To get each of these Equipment you must upgrade a piece that you already have. These requirements are as below:

• Ares – must upgrade a piece of Dragon Equipment.
• Imperial – must upgrade a piece of Ares Equipment.
• Parthian – must upgrade a piece of Achaemenidae Equipment.

As well as the above, you must also meet some building and tech requirements. First off, you must be at Forge Level 30 for each upgradable piece of Equipment. For Parthian Equipment, you will also need 50 Forge Master Certificates and for Imperial Equipment you will need 25 Forge Master Certificates. Lastly, there are further building requirements for each one as outlined in the table below.

Equipment	Building	Tech
Helmet	N/A	Ares: Super Defending Troop Defense L25 Parthian: Adv Rally Horn L10 Majestic Imperial: Super in City Attack L3 Dominant Imperial: Adv in City Attack L3
Armor	Ares: Wonder L1 Parthian: Rally L33 Imperial: Rally L32	N/A

Axe	Ares: Workshop L30 Parthian: Workshop L33 Imperial: Workshop L32	N/A
Sword	Ares: Barracks L30 Parthian: Barracks L33 Imperial: Barracks L32	N/A

Please note, that in addition to the above, you must also have the Dragon Master Glory achievement to upgrade the Ares Boots, and the King of Generals Glory achievement to upgrade the Ares Ring. The current requirements for these 2 Evony Glory Achievements can be seen below:

Glory	Requirement
Dragon Master	One 500k Power Dragon
King of Generals	Six 3.5M Power Generals

Upgrading each of these pieces of equipment will cost 800 Badges and 30M Gold. For more information on this check out our Evony Wonder Glory Guide.

How to get Forge Master Certificates

As mentioned in the previous section, Forge Master Certificates are required for Parthian and Imperial Equipment. Indeed, 50 are needed for Parthian Equipment and 25 for Imperial Equipment. Forge Master Certificate can be gained from the Gather Troops event and the Viking Challenge event.

Evony Equipment Scrolls

Equipment Scrolls are a key ingredient in crafting higher-tier equipment as outlined further up in this Evony Equipment Crafting Guide. In ascending order, the equipment scrolls available are:

• Mithril, Light, and General
• King
• Dragon
• Achaemenidae
• Staff
• Toga
• Robe

The easiest way to get these scrolls is by killing Boss Monsters. Please read our Boss Monster Guide and Event Monster Guide for details on which monsters drop which equipment scrolls.

Please note, that the only way to currently get Evony Staff, Robe, and Toga Scrolls is by reaching level 8 in the Party Cake event. This is achieved by buying packs in the game and is only attainable by heavy spenders.

Evony Equipment Materials

Materials are the final key ingredient required in order to craft equipment and as such are a hugely important aspect in this Evony Guide. Though they are quite easy to find, in numerous ways, the number required increases rapidly as you craft better gear. A full list of the different material types is shown below.

• Purple Crystal
• Blue Stone
• Red Agate
• Silver Pearl
• Meteorolite
• Iron
• Bronze
• Wood
• Animal Bone
• Leather
• Feather
• Dragon Scale

Each material can range from level 1 to level 7. You can compose together 3 of the same material and level to increase its level by 1.

The most efficient ways to collect materials are:

• Killing Vikings during the Viking Challenge Event.
• Killing Event Monsters.
• Killing Boss Monsters.
• Opening chests in the Lucky Composing Event.
• Increasing the level of your Sub-cities to improve their material production.
• Gaining rewards in the Evony Server War.
• Exploring Relics and Relic Chambers.
• Taking part in the Consuming Return Event.
• Dissembling equipment scrolls you do not need.
• Dissembling low-level equipment.
• Produce materials in the Research Factory building.

It is also a good idea not to waste materials by crafting equipment that you do not need or will become redundant very quickly. Indeed, it is recommended not to craft much equipment below the Dragon tier if you can avoid it.

Evony Civilization Equipment

Civilization Equipment is slightly different from the equipment that you craft in the Forge and is crafted in the Wonder building. In addition, owning a complete set will give buffs to your Generals even if it is not equipped. Check out our detailed Evony Civilization Equipment Guide for full details on this feature.
