Crafting Materials & Locations

Gather Iron Shards, Leather Scraps, and Silver Dust throughout 1384 Ex Voto. Find crafting materials in crypts, forests, and from spectral enemies.

The brutal quest Aeta undertakes in 1384 Ex Voto is not solely about combat prowess; it also demands resourcefulness. Crafting is a vital mechanic that allows you to create essential items, upgrade your gear, and prepare for the myriad dangers that lurk in Medieval Italy. Gathering the right Crafting Materials is as important as mastering combat techniques. These materials are scattered throughout the game world, often found in specific locations or dropped by particular enemy types.

Common materials like Iron Shards and Leather Scraps can be found in abundance in most populated areas, such as the outskirts of villages like Oakhaven or within the ruins of abandoned farmsteads. These are typically found in chests, barrels, or as loot from defeated common enemies like bandits or stray wolves. For more specialized components, such as Silver Dust or Petrified Wood, you will need to venture into more dangerous and remote locations. Silver Dust, for example, is often found in the desecrated crypts beneath the old monastery or dropped by spectral enemies like the Whispering Specters. Petrified Wood, essential for crafting certain alchemical items, is primarily located in ancient, overgrown forests or near areas touched by dark magic, such as the cursed grove near the Whispering Falls.

Specific enemy types are also reliable sources for certain materials. Defeating the heavily armored Legionaries might yield Steel Plates, crucial for upgrading Aeta's armor. The agile Stalkers, often found in dense woodlands, may drop potent Venom Sacs, used in crafting poisoned ammunition or consumables. Even the grotesque Ghouls, found in plague-ridden areas, can sometimes drop Rotten Flesh, a key ingredient for certain restorative items. Pay close attention to the loot tables of enemies you encounter, as this will inform your material gathering strategies. For example, if you are aiming to craft a specific alchemical concoction that requires a high quantity of Sunpetal Blooms, you will know to focus your efforts on the sun-drenched meadows surrounding the town of Bellavista, where these rare herbs are known to grow in abundance.
