# Crafting
{% hint style="warning" %}
NOTE: Crafting is coming in a future update to Voxie Tactics and will not be available in the initial 1.0 release.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="danger" %}
NOTE: Crafting is still being designed and lots of details and specifics are under review and subject to change.
{% endhint %}
Crafting in Voxie Tactics will consist of combining elemental materials with items or weapons, and also combining with a special item called **Crystals** to create a new enhanced NFT weapon or item, with new damage types, elemental effects and/or abilities.
### **Crystals**
Crystals are the fuel required to complete any infusion or crafting resulting in a newly minted weapon, item or Voxie *(see* [*Recruiting New Voxies*](/tokenomics/recruiting-new-voxies.md)*)*. **Crystals Shards** can only be created through destroying items, weapons or elements in the game. Doing so will result in the player acquiring a certain amount of crystals shards depending on the item destroyed and it's properties (rarity, weapon class, power, etc.).
Crystal Shards will be a virtual commodities only and will be the same rarity tier as the weapon/item that was destroyed. Once the player has acquired enough crystal shards, they will be able to combine a certain number of them to produce a Crystal, that can be used for crafting.
{% hint style="success" %}
The Crystal that is created when combining crystal shards will be represented by an NFT item that the player can then sell and/or trade on the open Marketplace.
{% endhint %}
**Crafting Example:** A player wants to infuse **fire damage** into a rare tier Cutlass Sword weapon, to infuse it with a fire elemental attack. To do this a player will require 3 things:
* A Cutlass Sword weapon
* An Ember Stone elemental item
* A crafting Crystal
One the player possesses these items, they can see the in-game blacksmith (or use the browser marketplace) to combine these items and burn the consumables to create (mint) a new cutlass weapon NFT that has the **fire** elemental attack.
