Crafting with the right material

From UO:PvE Wiki

Recipe requirements, material selection and the two crafting interfaces in the code.

Development source reviewed on 29 October 2026. In-game availability is unverified.

Material skill and recipe skill#

Choosing an expanded material adds a base-skill requirement in the craft’s main skill. This is separate from the recipe’s normal success chance and any other skills or ingredients. Having rare ingots or logs does not bypass those checks.

Blacksmithing registers the expanded metals. Carpentry and Bowcraft/Fletching register the expanded woods. Use the material selector for the craft and check the required recipe ingredients before making the item.

Which crafting interface applies?#

The source contains both the standard crafting gump and an optional T2A-style menu flow. In the inspected configuration, no t 2aCraftMenus override is present. The default follows the server expansion identifier; with identifier 11 (Endless Journey), the standard crafting gump is selected.

The client UOTD feature flag is not the same thing as the server’s Core.UOTD check. Older notes describing T2A menus as the current default should be checked against the actual running configuration.

If the T2A menus are enabled later#

That flow starts by targeting appropriate resources. Targeting logs or boards can select their species for Carpentry or Fletching. Targeting the crafting tool itself repeats the last recipe when one is available. This is conditional documentation for the optional interface, not a claim that it is currently enabled.
