Divinity: Original Sin 2 includes some big changes to the series in terms of races, classes, spells, and stats. While some of the recipes will look familiar to those who played the first game, others have been tweaked considerably throughout Early Access. In this guide, we’ve broken out each and every recipe and its base ingredients from arrows to grenades to weapons.
All Divinity: Original Sin 2 Crafting Recipes
Note that many of the recipes included below are interconnected, and a player will be rewarded for trying out new combinations. For instance, you need to be manufacturing certain types of potions if you want to reliably produce elemental arrows.
Arrow Recipes
Although frequently lacking the area affect possibilities of grenades (well, unless you place something flammable on the ground first), many of the elemental and magical arrow effects can be just as useful, with knockdown and charming arrows in particular offering plenty of tactical options.
Note that you actually have to combine the base arrow shaft with the head for each type of arrow to get the final product (such as arrow shaft + slowdown arrowhead for a functional slowdown arrow).
Armor Recipes
These are all pretty basic armor recipes, and not too many have been discovered – so it seems like a good bet there will be more of these to find through trial and error.
Cooking and Food Recipes
I can’t stop laughing about making tomato sauce with a tomato and a hammer. But hey – I guess when you don’t have an immersion blender or a food processor, that’s one way to get the job done. Note that some items, such as the pies, require the mobile kitchen to be properly cooked after the ingredients are combined.
Grenade Recipes
You usually want a steady supply of these on hand, both for straight damage and for causing effects on the ground, and they are cheaper to make than to buy.
Rune Recipes
Each type of rune can be used to enchant weapons or armor to add various effects. Keep in mind that each type of rune can also be upgraded by combining them together (such as two small thunder runes becoming a medium thunder rune, two medium thunder runes becoming a large thunder rune, and so on).
How to actually enchant is super clear from the inventory. You have to switch to the crafting screen, then tab over to the Enchant section. Not all items are able to be enchanted either, as you need equipment with rune sockets, which don’t become available until later in the game.
Potion Recipes
As with the runes, remember that you can get the next grade up of a potion by combining two of the previous types. For a medium healing potion, combine two minor healing potions, and so on.
Scroll Recipes
Yep, you can craft your own scrolls to cast spells, just like in the previous game. Here’s all the scroll formulas we’ve found so far, but there’s bound to be more added in the near future!
Tools and Miscellaneous Recipes
From lock picks to pixie dust, these are all the random items you need that don’t quite fit it any category but are essential throughout the game.
Weapon Recipes
Need an extra weapon but nowhere near a merchant? You can make some on your own, with stats tied to the level of the character performing the crafting.
Those are all the Divinity Original Sin 2 recipes we’ve discovered so far! Have you found any others, or noticed any changes to the ingredients post-launch from their Early Access counterparts? Let us know in the comments section below!
