Elden Ring crafting guide

Like many open-world games, Elden Ring has crafting. You're going to want to know how to make your own Elden Ring weapons, poison darts, and snacks for Torrent on the road, after all. And thankfully, getting into crafting is pretty simple. All you're going to need is an Elden Ring Crafting Kit and then the various Cookbooks dotted around the world. Your trusty steed won't want for anything ever again when you're done.

First, get used to picking up materials wherever you see them. From the very beginning of the game, you're going to see lots of flowers, mushrooms, and odd shiny objects to pick up. Get in the habit of picking up everything you see: you never know what you may need later on. 

This guide shows all the Elden Ring Cookbooks I've found so far and their locations. I'll be updating this list as we discover more. 

Getting a Crafting Kit

How to get a Crafting Kit in Elden Ring

You can do this really early on. After exiting the Cave of Knowledge, you'll find The First Step Site of Grace. Travel north and you'll see a dilapidated building, containing the Church of Elleh. Here you'll find the very first merchant of the game, who offers the kit for 300 runes. You should also purchase the Nomadic Warrior's and the Missionary Cookbooks.

Head into your menu and you'll find an "Item Crafting" option. You can create items on the go. Handy.
