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 via Cooking

Each item with buffs has a prefix, based on the number of buffs
- 1 - Quality (25% chance)
- 2 - Improved (12% chance from Crafting)
- 3 - Superior (7% chance from Crafting)
- 4 - Advanced (3% chance from Crafting)
- 5 - Unique (1% chance from Crafting)
There is almost 50% chance that a crafted item will have at least 1 bonus stat. SPECIAL and Skills have no influence on the outcome.
Moreover, all bonuses other than Normal/Laser/Fire/Plasma/Electrical Resistance/Threshold (and possibly -critical chance/power) will still apply even if the equipped armor is fully broken.
