Starting off, you will get your hands on Farren’s old rusted weapon that has been resting in the ground for who knows how long. After dealing with this weapon for a while, you will eventually get your hands on the blueprints to make a new one. Not long after this, you will run into your first forge. These large structures allow you to craft weapons and armor provided you have the blueprints required to make them.
When you interact with a forge, it will bring up the crafting menu. In this menu, you will see all of the weapons and armor blueprints you have picked up during your journey. To craft one of these items, you will need the materials listed at the bottom of the screen. If you have all of them select the craft option and you will make the item you have selected.
