Dragonwilds Crafting Progression Guide
Follow Dragonwilds 1.0 crafting from starter facilities through Rune, Black Dragonhide, Ancestral equipment, and Scorned Wilderness processing.

Core production layout
Keep these facilities grouped by workflow:
- ore and stone storage beside smelting and the Blacksmith's Bench;
- logs, planks, thread, hides, and ranged parts near the Fletching Bench;
- cloth, hides, and bars near the Armour Bench;
- runes and magical components near the Rune Altar and Mystic Forge;
- ingredients near cooking, brewing, fermentation, and Farming supplies.
Version 0.12 reorganised equipment crafting around the Blacksmith's Bench, Fletching Bench, Mystic Forge, and Armour Bench. If an older base lost stations on update, the components were intended to be refunded so the new stations could be placed.

Upgrade gathering tools first when a new ore or wood tier becomes available. Faster, broader gathering shortens every later crafting step.
Use the resource locations guide to turn each tier into a regional gathering route, then check the Ascension Core guide before investing rare endgame materials.
Version 1.0 adds the Advanced Spinning Wheel as a separate station, plus new production at the Advanced Tannery, Grindstone, Kiln, Brewing Cauldron, and Loom. Use the Scorned Wilderness Resources guide for confirmed inputs and avoid assuming quantities that the official notes do not state.
