Crafting

As you level up each hero you'll learn recipes to craft their Equipment. Crafting an item costs 10 scrap, and the results appear to be random. Crafting a specific type of Equipment requires additional materials. The Power of an item is based on your level when it is crafted.

You can use the crafting tab to do the following:

Smelting
Smelting allows a player to destroy items in exchange for materials. This can be done on up to 9 items at once, and only unequipped items can be smelted.

All items grant scrap, and higher rarity items grant shards corresponding to the rarity.

Crafting
A player pays materials to receive a new item of random rarity. The amount needed varies based on the desired item. The resulting hero power is based off the average hero power the character would have if the highest hero power items were equipped.
