Artisan
An artisan is a NPC that crafts rare crafting materials in exchange for crafting materials and gold. The rare materials they offer to craft vary from artisan to artisan. They can be identified by the "[Materials]" suffix in their name.
The cost of a rare materials from a rare material trader can be lower or greater than the combined cost of the crafting materials and gold an artisan requires. This can make a great difference in the cost of crafting equipment that requires a large amount of rare crafting materials. For example, Silk requires 10 Cloth, 10 Dust and 250
to craft, but can be purchased from a rare material trader for far less. On the other hand, Parchment requires 5 Wood and 20
to craft, which is often less in total than from the trader.
All artisans are located in explorable areas, except for Shinichiro (in Seitung Harbor) and Xue Yi (in Kaineng Center); remember to bring your cash and materials with you before you exit.
