Crafting Skill

Crafting Skill is a measure of how fast you  craft items and also which quality they have. Higher crafting skill reduces the amount of time it takes to craft an item, allowing you to craft more items in a shorter amount of time. Since you are slower while crafting, this also reduces the amount of time that you are slowed while crafting on the go. As of the Patch v224.0, crafting speed provides a bonus to the stats of custom food recipes upon cooking them. See Custom Consumable for more details. With a higher crafting skill there's also a higher chance that the crafted item has a higher quality.

Increasing

Putting a point into Crafting Skill will increase your crafting skill by 10%.

Notes

• Crafting speed does not apply to items which you do not craft in your personal inventory. Items such as  Narcotic or  Simple Rifle Ammo do not receive speed increase since they are crafted in other containers.
• For items that are usually crafted in masses, such as  Arrows the bonus from this stat can add up quickly.
• Eating  Focal Chili will temporarily increase your crafting speed.

Changes

• Before v259.0 this skill was called "Crafting Speed" and only increased the crafting speed when crafting in your inventory.
