Crafting after obtaining Glintstone Craftsman's Cookbook [2]

Liurnia of the Lakes

Starting Site of Grace: Laskyar Ruins

Before you go

• Crafting Kit
• Glintstone Craftsman's Cookbook [2]
• Ingredients per batch: 1 Root Resin and 1 Rimed Crystal Bud

1. Follow the southern lakeshore north from Liurnia Lake Shore until you reach Laskyar Ruins.
2. Activate the grace at the southern edge of the ruins.
3. Check the corpse immediately beside the grace and loot the book. You do not need to clear the ruined buildings.
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 Rimed Crystal Bud, then open Item Crafting outside combat and select Freezing Grease. One batch makes 1.

Notes

• Adds 63 Frostbite buildup for 60 seconds. Intelligence and Arcane do not increase the coating's buildup, and applying it does not add Magic attack power.
• Once Frostbite triggers, its damage-taken penalty stays active for a time. You cannot immediately trigger it again by continuing to add buildup while that effect remains.
• Fire damage clears the active Frostbite effect and lets another buildup cycle begin. Doing so also removes the existing damage-taken penalty, rather than letting both benefits run together.
• Cold affinity is a separate option and normally prevents ordinary grease. This coating cannot simply be added on top of a Cold weapon.
• 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 Rimed Crystal Bud. Applying the grease spends one prepared item; it does not consume the cookbook.
