Crafting items in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is an integral part of the gameplay, as players will mainly have to rely upon themselves to create every item they need as they serve the Galaxy Team Survey Corps. Ingredients for the various recipes are scattered throughout the game, as well as the recipes themselves. By completing certain objectives, such as increasing the Star Rank level in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, players can successfully unlock every recipe in-game to use at either a crafting station or their personal Crafting Kit.
Obtaining every crafting recipe in Pokémon Legends: Arceus will take time, but without the recipes, players will be unable to craft every item. New recipes are unlocked as players not only increase their Star Rank with Galaxy Team but also as they complete missions and requests, as well as when they reach certain milestones in the game. Certain milestones in Pokémon Legends: Arceus will unlock new crafting recipes that can be purchased for a certain amount of Poké Dollars. For example, players can purchase the Star Piece recipe, which makes use of all the Stardust farming in Pokémon Legends Arceus to create an even more valuable item to sell.
Additionally, as players select a recipe to craft at a table or their Crafting Kit, the ingredients and amount needed for each will be available next to their desired item in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. This feature can be accessed at any time, which is extremely convenient as players are on the go throughout the entire Hisui region. In particular, the person Crafting Kit is perhaps the most valuable item in any player's bag, as it allows them to craft whichever item is needed at the given time. Players can even craft Revives and Potions on the spot in the event that their entire team gets knocked out by an Alpha Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Every Craftable Item In Pokémon Legends: Arceus
In order to save more items, players will need to make sure they frequently deposit unused items in a chest that can be accessed either from a campsite or their own quarters. If a player themselves takes too much damage in the field, they'll be the ones to blackout, and they'll end up losing a plethora of items from their inventory if they aren't careful. Additionally, unlike other Pokémon games, each player has a limited inventory space available to hold their items. In order to increase the total inventory size of the item bag, players will need to purchase "inventory space lessons" from an NPC in the Galaxy Team headquarters in Pokémon Legends: Arceus' Jubilife Village. Players can pay Poké Dollars for these lessons, but the price increases steadily from hundreds to thousands of Poké Dollars per lesson.
