post a comment with a quick reply. Thank you. b:thanks

Also Please have a look at my other guide. It shows all the

Color using actual clothing.

You can find the post Here. Perfect World Guide to Clothing Dye Pigments.


This is a guide written to help people within the game of
perfectworld have an enjoyable experience while learning
Trade skills within the game.

The first thing you need to begin crafting in perfectworld
is to reach level 5. Until then you cannot craft any items
period. You can begin gathering before level 5, but you
will need the pickaxe bought at one of the merchants
listed in this guide to begin doing so.

Once you reach level 5 you need to go see the Elder in your
town. He will give you the following quests. The quests are
the same for each of the starting towns, although the
location of the Elder and the Merchants are different for
each town. Look for the appropriate location for the town
you are in.

Basically for these quests you must go out and gather
materials. Now this is where some people have a hard
time. Without knowledge of where to look for the materials
and a good plan for getting the materials, most people
really have a hard time with this. So I decided to present
this guide to finding materials and gathering productively.
__________________________________________________
__________________________________________________

Ok, Gathering Materials means you must first Buy a Pickaxe.
You can purchase a pickaxe at the following merchants.
__________________________________________________

For the City of the Lost - Merchant Fu (261 636)
For the City of Plume - Merchant Lo (327 436)
For the Town of Etherblade - Merchant Mu (445 901)
__________________________________________________

Now that you have a pickaxe you need to find the appropriate
places to gather your raw materials. This is very frustrating
unless you know how to do it. First of all let me say that all
the raw material gathering resources de spawn after you use them
1 time. Now let me say that each resource spawns after a time
in the same spot it was just at. So basically you need to make
a list of the resource spawn locations for the materials you
are trying to find.

__________________________________________________

-=-Note-=-

For gathering materials each tier item has a level requirement
to be able to gather them. Materials used to create lvl 1 and 2 items
can be gathered by anyone with a pickaxe in their inventory. For the
Lvl 3 items you must gather the next tier of items. These items cannot
be gathered until your character is level 20. Crafting skill does not
matter here. This is your characters level. There are other materials
with higher level requirements, however this is a new players guide
so we will leave those out for now.
__________________________________________________


I will be posting some known spawn locations for you to use.

Before I post the spawn locations I would like to show you how
to use these location numbers.

First I have heard some people say they cannot see arrows
floating at the edge of their screen when they track quests.
If you cannot you need to fix this. Anyhow if this next step
does not show you arrows, then this trick will not help and
you will just have to manually walk to the locations. The
location numbers can be found on the mini map in the top
right corner of your screen. If you cannot see the mini map,
then you need to click the button in the top right corner
of your screen.

Now for the next step. On your mini map there is an icon that
when hovered over, it says coordinates assistant. click on
this and you should get a box pops up that shows a list of
location names in the left, and a set of coordinates in the
input field for the right side. What you will do here is
to add the coordinates for the type of material you are
looking for in the input window, When you input them,
Do NOT use a comma. Input it as ### ###
then click enter, then type a name for it and hit enter. It should
add a new entry with the name you typed in showing in the
right hand box now.

Close the coordinates window by clicking the same button on
the mini map that you used to open it. Now on your screen
you should see a new arrow on the edge, That is guiding you
to the location you inputted into the coordinates assistant.
Follow that arrow till you get to the spot. When you get
close. on the minimap, you will see a little colored circle
on the ground, the same color as the arrow. thats your
location spot where the harvest spot spawns. If it is there
great, if not look around as these are not always 100% right
on target. But they will be close (By close I mean no more
than a 20 foot circle around the dot.)

Ok now you can add up to 5 coordinates to track at one time
in the coordinate assistant. So that should help you find them.
add 4 - 5 locations and run a pattern and if you time them
right you will have no problem locating your materials for both
the crafting quests and for the crafting itself.

-=-Note-=-

Certain crafting materials are dropped from monsters
or bought in the boutique (Example: Cotton Thread, Rough
Fur, Grease,etc.). If you do not wish to purchase the items
and wish to get them yourself you will be required to kill the
monsters. To find a list of what monsters drop what crafting
material here is a good website link to go check out.

http://www.pwdatabase.com/my/

【goto】 → 【Items】 → 【Materials】 → 【Basic Materials】

And for the Crafted Items Like Copper Bars

【goto】 → 【Items】 → 【Materials】 → 【Crafted Materials】
__________________________________________________
__________________________________________________

-=-Note-=-

When you craft, Certain items you make require you to use
gems when crafting them. Examples are Red Jade, Yellow
Jade, etc. These items can purchased from a Merchant
at a reasonable cost. Certain creatures drop these, but
the drop rates are very slow in comparison to just
purchasing them at a merchant.

Also certain items you craft at the apothocary will need
ingredients called Yiyuan stones. These items are made
from taking armor, weapons, or ornaments and bringing
them to the appropriate NPC (Blacksmith for Weapons,
Tailor for Armor, etc.) and picking the option to Decompose
Weapon, Ornament, etc.

Use the appropriate level item to decompose for the
different quality stones. Yinyuan are the lowest so use
lower level items to get them.

(Note) The higher the quality, the more stones you get
back. ☆ items give a lot less than ☆☆ items.

☆☆☆ items seem to always give mirage stones back.

__________________________________________________
__________________________________________________

Ok now you got your materials and want to start crafting. Now
go finish the 4 quests by returning to the corresponding NPC, then
each one will give you a book. Once you have all 4 books, go to the
elder and choose the option learn manufacturing skill Click each
skill and click yes to learn them. (Note the book must be in your
inventory when you talk to the Elder)

Ok so now you are level 1 skilled in all 4 professions and want
to craft, so what do you do. Well you goto your corresponding
Craft type merchant (Tailor for tailoring, Blacksmith for Blacksmithing,
etc) and choose one of the following:

Manufacture Weapons (For Blacksmithing)
Remedy Manufacturing (For Alchemy)
Manufacture Equipment (For Tailor)
Manufacture Ornaments (For Craftsman)

Now when the window opens, you pick the item you wish to make
and you will see a list of the materials needed. They must be
in your inventory in order to craft the item. Also note when
you choose the item it will say under the list of ingredients
(Requires whichever Skill 1 or 2, etc) That is the required
skill you need to make the item. Since you are just starting
out, make the skill level 1 items. As you make the items,
there is a bar on the top right of the window that fills up
as you make items. Once that fills up, you can then go see
the Elder and train the skill to advance to the next skill level.

You can do this all the way up until skill level 3. Once you get
skill level 3. You are stuck here until you obtain level 50 on
your character. and once you do that, you will then be offered
quests to advance to skill level 4 and beyond, just like you
did for getting skill 1 unlocked.

You CAN gather beginning materials (pig iron, ageratum, nectar, golden herb, logs, coal dust, sandstone) from level 1; I'd reccommend it since you can gather more crafting materials starting from level 1 instead of level 5.
