Aside from Poke Balls, one of the most important items in every Pokemon game is healing items. Healing items are used for exactly what they are called: healing Pokemon! Healing items are no different in Pokemon Legends: Arceus as the main goal of the game is to capture every Pokemon in Hisui Region, and, to do this, the player would have to battle some Pokemon to catch them, which would mean your Pokemon would need some healing.
The release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus introduced a new mechanic called Crafting. With this new mechanic, players can craft various items such as Poke Balls, healing items, and more using ingredients found all over Hisui. With Crafting, you can craft items yourself instead of buying them. In this guide, you will learn how to craft healing items and find the crafting requirements.
Unlock Crafting
We should mention that you can not craft straight from the start of the game. However, the feature does become available early on. After completing the Galaxy Team’s Entry Trial, players will be able to start the Basics of Crafting mission, the third mission of the game.
For the Basics of Crafting mission, Akari or Rei will have you visit the Craftworks, where a Workbench will be available for crafting items. You can find a Workbench in the Craftworks in Jubilife Village or at the campsite.
After that, you will have another mission to work on Research Tasks. Just keep on trying to finish this mission. You will get to a part where Akari or Rei will instruct you to catch a Buizel, which you would have to battle first before you can catch it, and Akari or Rei will teach you that you will need to see a Pokemon perform a specific move-in battle to complete some research task. Finish these tasks, and Akari or Rei will reward you with a Crafting Kit for meeting the challenges so far.
So, what is the difference between a Workbench in the Craftworks or at the campsite and the Crafting Kit? The main difference is that with the workbench, you can craft items using the items you have in your satchel and the items you have kept in storage. Again, you can only access the workbench in the Craftworks and the campsite. On the other hand, with the Crafting Kit, aside from being able to use it anywhere, you can only craft using only the items you have in your satchel.
