The Art Of Crafting

Crafting is a vital part of the world, without it nothing can be created.

Advanced Crafting is a progression aspect within the world of Shinseina that allows characters to create and refine equipment, tools, weapons, and armor through skill, effort, and meaningful roleplay. It is not about shop purchases or simple acquisitions; it is about the growth of the crafter, the evolution of their craft, and the narrative journey they walk.

​

In this aspect, crafting becomes an art of creation and innovation, not merely production. Whether shaping a sword to carry into battle, forging armor infused with mana, or embedding rare runes into relics, the process showcases the creator's skill, vision, and history.

​

In Shinseina, many adventurers wield rare or powerful gear, but few understand the journey of those who make such tools. Advanced Crafting gives a spotlight to artisans, those who build, temper, and elevate the world through knowledge and dedication, not just brute strength.

​

As time passes, crafters may:

  • Gain reputation and renown as skilled creators.

  • Develop signature items known across the world.

  • Become highly sought after for their legendary-level craftsmanship.

​

This system encourages a long-term non-combat growth path that is immersive, rewarding, and deeply tied to character development.

Crafting is organized into tiers, which reflect a crafter’s experience and development. These tiers are earned not by mass production, but through in-depth crafting, teaching, research, and participation in workshop-style activities.

​

Crafting Tiers don’t strictly define what you can make, but they do unlock enhancements, bonuses, and item quality boosts.

  • Crafting Tier Progression: Earned through roleplay and judged by the RP team.

  • Item Quality & Bonuses: Based on effort, material synergy, and IC context.

  • Tempering & Evolution: Items grow with their user or change through reforging.

  • Rune & Mod Slotting: High-tier gear allows powerful enhancements and multiple rune integrations.

​

Beyond just crafting, there is tempering, which is the act of reforging or enhancing an object with new materials or components. It is the primary way to boost stats, change properties, or add functionality without creating something new from scratch.


Naturally, items themselves can evolve through milestones or events, and crafted items may evolve in form and function.

  • Slaying a legendary beast.

  • Surviving a sacred trial.

  • Completing a saga-altering roleplay arc.

​

These transformations reflect the user's journey and may grant traits, appearances, or abilities tied to that experience. All item evolutions must be submitted for approval and may require rare materials or triggers.
