Crafting after obtaining Armorer's Cookbook [1]

Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Agheel Lake North

Before you go

• Crafting Kit
• Armorer's Cookbook [1]
• Ingredients per batch: 1 Root Resin and 1 Smoldering Butterfly

1. From the grace, ride northeast toward the camp with tents and mounted Kaiden warriors.
2. Approach the camp carefully so the riders do not surround you. Search the corpses among the tents.
3. Loot the cookbook from the camp. You do not need to clear every enemy before taking it.
4. Buy the Crafting Kit from Kalé at Church of Elleh for 300 runes if Item Crafting is unavailable. With the book and kit owned, open Item Crafting outside combat.
5. Collect 1 Root Resin and 1 Smoldering Butterfly, then open Item Crafting outside combat and select Fire Grease. One batch makes 1.

Notes

• Adds 85 Fire attack power to a compatible weapon for 60 seconds. This is an attack-power addition, so enemy defenses and the attack used determine the extra HP damage.
• Adds Fire damage without changing the weapon's affinity. The added amount does not scale with Faith or Strength just because Fire weapons can use those attributes.
• Fire hits can clear an active Frostbite effect. That allows another Frostbite buildup cycle, but also removes the damage-taken penalty from the existing Frostbite, so it is a deliberate tradeoff.
• Messmerfire Grease adds 120 Fire attack power instead, using different materials. It replaces this coating rather than stacking on top of it.
• Use a weapon that allows coatings. Standard, Heavy, Keen and Quality are the usual compatible affinities; elemental and status affinities normally prevent grease, with separate restrictions for unique weapons.
• Uses the weapon-buff slot. Another grease or a weapon enchantment replaces the coating, rather than stacking a second coating on top.
• Applying it spends one prepared item and costs no FP. Carry up to ten, with another 600 in storage; switching away from the coated weapon can remove the effect.
• Each batch uses 1 Root Resin and 1 Smoldering Butterfly. Applying the grease spends one prepared item; it does not consume the cookbook.
