# Crafting Collectible Items

To craft a collectible item, the player needs to do the following:

* Construct an Artifact, which is an additional extension to the corresponding workbench’s back on the home island, this unlocks the option of crafting collectible items. 
* Craft the collectible item using the workbench.

Crafting a collectible item:

* Takes time, but the item is produced in a separate slot, allowing the player to continue crafting common items whilst this process is underway.
* Crafting collectible equipment requires [Catalyst](/game/economy-overview/catolyst.md) and [Gems](/game/economy-overview/gems.md), the amounts of which depend on the item’s level

When using Artifact empowered workbenches, the slot used for crafting collectible items will use the same slot as for increasing their rarity, charging them or processing shards.

When crafting a collectible item, there is a chance to craft an item with a higher rarity, however the possible rarity cannot exceed the rarity of the Artifact linked to the workbench.

Each type of item with a specific rarity has a limited number of such items that can possibly be crafted. If the maximum quantity of an item with a certain rarity has already been crafted, it is no longer possible to craft another.
