Crafting items requires materials that are gathered in the open-world through the five gathering professions: Logging, Mining, Fishing, Harvesting, and Skinning. After a player has gathered materials in the open-world, many of the materials must then be refined at one of the corresponding refining stations in order to be used in crafting. Refining stations include: the Smelter, Woodshop, Tannery, Loom, and the Stonecutting Table. At these refining stations, players will turn raw materials like green wood into intermediate and refined goods like timber, which will then enter crafting stations in order to be turned into a finished good like a Treated Wood Bow or Iron Logging Axe.
