Crafter
Crafter is classified as an Intermediate career, because it depends on raw materials from Explorers and Warriors. It provides Reagents to Tailors; Equipment for Warriors; and mini-pets and Keepsakes for collection. They are also instrumental in some events!
Your villager starts with an empty screen. Crafters need to learn Recipes in order to work. A villager can learn any recipe from any village or source.
Costume related Blueprints for your village can be found in your village's shop . You have to dip into User Stalls or the Item Sales forum to pick up outside Blueprints. All Blueprints cost 75-125 FC in their respective village shops.
There are some unaffiliated costume parts whose Blueprints are found in all of the villages' crafter shops or at The Fair Exchange.
Mechanical pet related Blueprints are split between Warrior Loot and the Quest Shop.
Equipment Recipes are found in The Fair Exchange, Recycling Shop, Tourney Shop, Cottage Shop, and dropped as Loot.
Crystal Templates are found in the Recycling Shop.
Socket-o-Matic Order Forms are found in The Fair Exchange.
Keepsake Recipes are available in the Recycling Shop, Ye Olde Makeables (OFB's crafter shop), and the Quest Shop.
Once you have your desired recipes, head into your Inventory to teach them to your villager.
Crafting a recipe is as simple as clicking on it and waiting for the allotted time.
Applying one of five costumes decreases crafting time by 30%. Eating a Dragonsmaw Pie can apply a random costume buff.
Outfits and Keepsakes can also decrease crafting time if they are Buffed for this career. Each villager can equip up to 6 of each.
Crafters can use a recipe as many times as they'd like once they have learned it. If you would like your villager to forget a recipe, the Unlearn option is available in the bottom left corner of every recipe window.
Each time your villager crafts a recipe, they gain one Skill point. Skill level affects crafted Equipment. Every time they earn an achievement trophy, your villager will have an increased chance to produce Equipment of better Potency, as well as increased chances for Sockets.
These finished pieces from your Crafter are required by Tailors (and Cooks) to make Costumes.
The Mechanical Brain and Mechanical Heart are used by Crafters themselves to make the Mechanical Animal Blueprints.
The Mechanical Animal colors are granted randomly upon completion.
Reagents can be used by Tailors.
Equipment can be used by Warriors.
Pets can be collected in the Menagerie or attached to Villagers.
By popular demand, Crafters can change the Aquarius Zodiac Plushie into the Aquarius Plushie.

Crafters are an integral part of the annual Oceandome Treasure Hunts. They use materials gathered by Explorers to craft consumable items for the Explorers to then use to collect boat building materials and treasure. They also craft boat components for the player to upgrade their boat to collect more treasure.
The first two rounds of festivals in 2017 and 2018 shared the same crafting recipes. They created a different version of the items during the second year.
For the third iteration of the event in 2019, Crafters made Adventure Wheels instead of Maps, but the event followed a similar pattern.
The 2020 treasure hunt had Crafters creating Magical Sketchbooks for materials and treasure.
Crafters could also make Tropical Sand Dollars which randomly included one of six other Sand Dollars and maybe even a bonus third.
When Shamrock Hunt 2019 ran from March 11-31, Crafters used Shamrocks to make 4 Leaf Clovers. They could do the same in 2020.

During 2019's Olde Foxbury Festival, The Fair Exchange sold DIY recipes for Crafters to learn. Making the recipe yields the named item and occasionally a bonus alternate color.
2020 provided recipes to Crafters in the event shop. Each DIY randomly generates one of five colorations.

Quetzal Palace's Serpent Festival took a different turn in 2020. Crafters had the opportunity to make offerings for the Serpent. Making the recipe drops a basic item with an occasional rarer version as a bonus. These items continue to be Craftable Keepsakes.
