All blueprints are weightless and look the same. Mousing over them will display their details. A character uses a blueprint, and the blueprint will disappear. From then on, that character can craft that item.

NOTE: Blueprints are only one requirement to crafting high-end items; you need sufficient skill and professions too, a proper workbench, sometimes a Tool, and of course materials.

Obtaining Blueprints

• You can occasionally find Footlockers in random encounters on city ruins terrain, some of which can be trapped. Opening these usually requires a high Lockpick skill and may contain items ranging from a worthless Junk to blueprints. Some of them are more difficult to pick open than others.
• There are quests that may give blueprints as reward for your efforts.
• Trade with other players.
• Blueprints can now be purchased from certain NPC Merchants via dialogue.

Uses

Blueprints are required to craft most higher-tier equipment. Consuming them will permanently add those items to your Fix-Boy, provided you have the second level of the required professions. A blueprint is a single use item and will disappear after use.
