Crafting

Crafting allows players to create brand new Items out of raw materials. To craft an item you may need to have the necessary crafting profession, the required resources, sometimes a specific tool, and in many cases the appropriate Blueprints. You can craft some:

• Armor, including Combat Armor
• Weapons, and Ammo
• Explosives like various grenades, Dynamite, and Plastic Explosives
• Drugs, including Buffout, Nuka-Cola, Psycho, Super Stimpaks and the rest
• ...and a limited selection of Food items

There is almost 50% chance that a crafted item will have at least 1 bonus stat. Moreover, all bonuses other than N/L/F/P/E Res/Thr (and possibly -crit chance/power) will still apply even if the equipped armor is fully broken.

Item Enchanting

Player can improve his Weapon/Armor with crafting bonuses in following NPCs:

* Flick in Den - Small Guns
* Marcus in Broken Hills - Big Guns
* Skeeter in Gecko - Energy Weapons
* Sulik in Klamath - Melee and Throwing weapons
* Balthas in Modoc - Armors

It costs 10k Caps and you have to keep an item you want to enchant in main hand slot.

Possible results:

* 25% - adding 1 additional crafting bonus (can be added to items that already have them but won't go over max number of bonuses)
* 35% - item will be destroyed, player will get some junk depending on item type
* 10% - item will be fixed - current and maximum condition will be increased by 10 (won't go over 100)
* 30% - nothing happens
