How it Works:

  1. Defeat Shadows: Shadows in dungeons drop various 'material' items (e.g., Lead Plate, Silver Lump, Fine Steel).
  2. Sell Materials: Visit Daidara Metalworks and choose the 'Sell' option. Sell all the material items you've collected.
  3. Unlock New Gear: Selling specific combinations or quantities of materials will unlock new weapons and armor for purchase in the 'Buy' menu. The shopkeeper will often hint at what materials are needed for new items.

Tips for Efficient Crafting:

  • Sell Regularly: Make it a habit to sell your materials after every dungeon run.
  • Hoard Materials: Don't sell all your materials if you know a powerful weapon requires a large quantity of a specific rare material.
  • Check the 'Buy' Menu: After selling, always check the 'Buy' menu to see what new gear has become available.
  • Prioritize: Focus on unlocking the best weapons for your main damage dealers and the best armor for your entire active party.

The weapon crafting system is crucial for keeping your party well-equipped. The stronger the Shadows you defeat, the better materials you'll find, leading to more powerful gear. Don't neglect this aspect of the game!
