How do you turn raw materials into ingots, lumber and other components?

Raw gathering materials and finished crafting components are not interchangeable. The processing tutorial sends players to Seaglass Harbor to make Standard Ingot and Standard Lumber. Use the recipe's exact output name to decide which processing step you need.

Find the relevant processing station

RaidDex's profession database associates Smelting with a Smelting Furnace, Wildcraft with a Spagyric Table, Cloth with an Atelier and Refining with a Refinery. Start with the station associated with your component, then inspect its actual recipe list.

The extracted processing tutorial is dated October 24; database entries can also include locations outside currently accessible regions. You do not need to travel to a future region merely because it appears in a station list.

Work backward from the final recipe

Read the final item's required component and quality. If it asks for Standard Lumber, count that processed component separately from Logs. Open the component's recipe, compare owned ingredients with required ingredients, and prepare the missing inputs before crafting.

Do not process all raw materials automatically. A different quest or recipe may ask for the raw form. Keep the amount required for your active objectives and process only the amount you have planned to use.

Check the complete cost before confirming

Inspect the output quantity, ingredient quantities and displayed fee together. A cost for one crafting action is not automatically the cost for your full project. Recalculate after choosing the desired quantity.

If a recipe is unavailable, check whether the selected station, recipe knowledge and profession requirement match. Buying more of the same ingredient will not resolve the wrong station or an unlearned recipe. Exact material ratios and prices should come from the current recipe window, not an older housing cost table.
