In our Dragon Shelter Crafting and Unlocks Guide, we'll tell you what you need to craft items and how to unlock new crafting recipes!

You'll be notified when a new crafting recipe or purchasable item is made available, usually after completing a quest.
How Crafting Works in Dragon ShelterDragon Shelter crafting does not work like most games where you craft in your inventory or build a workbench. Rather, you take items to an NPC, and they can craft the item for you.
A handful of crafting recipes are unlocked when you start the game. However, the majority are unlocked by completing quests and progressing the story. Below, you'll find the crafting recipes we've discovered, along with how to unlock them (and other items at merchants).
Here are all of the Dragon Shelter crafting recipes we've discovered thus far.
