There are a plethora of crafting recipes available to discover. But what are the best items to craft in Dragon’s Dogma 2? Here are some recipes you should learn.
Dragon’s Dogma 2: Best items to craft
There are a few types of items available to craft in Dragon’s Dogma 2, all of which can be quite useful to you and your party. While you can craft Health and Stamina consumables, you can also craft arrows and potions.
Health and Stamina consumables
Certain Health and Stamina items don’t offer you much recovery, but there are others you should strive to craft if you want to stay alive out in the open world. The most common Health consumable you’ll collect is the Salubrious Draught. It only recovers a fair amount of Health, but you can easily create and collect a ton of them. As a reminder, these health items don’t heal you to max HP due to the loss gauge mechanic.
I would also look out for Roborants like Fruit Roborant, Mighty Roborant, Exquisite Roborant, Mincemeat Roborant, Roe Roborant, and Harspud Roborant. These all help you recover a great or astonishing amount of Health and Stamina.
| Item | Description | Recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Salubrious Draught | Recover a fair amount of Health. | Greenwarish x Any fruit Syrupwort Leaf x Any fruit |
| Fruit Roborant | Recover a great deal of Health. | Dried Fruit x Greenwarish Dried Fruit x Morningtide |
| Mighty Roborant | Recover a great deal of Health and Stamina. | Fruit Roborant x Cinnamon Bark Harspud Roborant x Cinnamon Bark |
| Exquisite Roborant | Recover an astonishing amount of Health and Stamina. | Fruit Roborant x Saurian Tail Mincemeat Roborant x Saurian Tail Roe Roborant x Saurian Tail Harspud Roborant x Saurian Tail |
| Mincemeat Roborant | Recover a great deal of Health. | Dried Meat x Greenwarish Dried Meat x Morningtide |
| Roe Roborant | Recover a great deal of Health. | Dried Fish x Greenwarish Dried Fish x Morningtide |
| Harspud Roborant | Recover a great deal of Stamina. | Dried Spud x Greenwarish Dried Spud x Morningtide |
Arrows
While you’re free to purchase new arrow types, there are also unique arrows you can craft using practical crafting ingredients. They can have unique effects against the target, so they’re better than your normal arrows. I’d say the best has to be the Explosive Arrow for the greatest amount of damage.
| Item | Description | Recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Drenching Arrow | Drenches the target. | Withered Branches x Syrupwort Leaf |
| Tarring Arrow | Tares the target. | Withered Branches x Lantern Oil |
| Explosive Arrow | Explodes after a time or if attacked. | Withered Branches x Sunbloom |
Potions
During your travels throughout the open world, you’ll get into many combat situations that leave you with debilitating effects. These debuffs can be countered using a multitude of potions. I often find myself being drenched or asleep, so Waking Powder and Parching Concoction are best to always have on hand.
| Item | Description | Recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Wicking Remedy | Cures tarred debilitation. | Cinnamon Bark x Cinnamon Bark |
| Waking Powder | Cures the sleep debilitation. | Grandpetal x Grandpetal |
| Parching Concoction | Cures drenched debilitation. | Hill Beech Bark x Hill Beech Bark |
| Sobering Tonic | Cures unconscious debilitation. | Grandpetal x Morningtide |
| Warming Salve | Cures the frostbite or ice-bound debilitation. | Cures frostbite or ice-bound debilitation. |
After crafting all these items you’ll eventually realize you’re carrying way too many things, so you should find out ways to increase your carry weight in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
