Revision 1

Overview

Workbenches are the core crafting stations in Starsand Island. They come in three tiers (I → II → III), and upgrading them unlocks access to more advanced tools, vehicles, processing stations, and building items. Upgrades are gated behind Crafting profession certifications from Zerine.

Workbench types

• Worktable: The primary crafting station. Handles tools, furniture, building materials, and most items. Available from the start of the game.

• Furnace: Smelts ores into ingots and processes raw materials. Unlocked early through the Crafting questline.

• Cutter: Cuts wood into planks, stone into bricks, and other material processing. Unlocked alongside the Furnace.

Tier progression

Tier I (Apprentice)

Available from the start. Covers basic tools (Stone Hoe, Wooden Watering Can), starter furniture, basic building materials, and the Bamboo Raft. Most early-game crafting happens at Tier I stations.

Tier II (Intermediate)

Unlocked by reaching Intermediate Crafter certification. Tier II opens up significantly:

• Tools: Chainsaw (fast tree cutting), Electric Drill (fast mining)

• Vehicles: Jet Ski, more motorbike variants

• Processing: Gear Smith station for metal components

• Storage: Storage Box II (36 slots, up from 18)

• Special: Realm Box (shared inventory system)

Tier III (Expert)

Unlocked by reaching Expert Crafter certification. The final tier includes:

• Advanced tools: Impact Hammer (mines gold and primorite), highest-tier equipment

• Vehicles: Speedboat, Lightning Car, flight vehicles

• Buildings: Alpaca barns, advanced animal housing, complex furniture

• Processing: Source Corestal crafting (222 coins each, from primorite)

How to upgrade

1. Advance your Crafting profession to the required tier by completing certification quests from Zerine

2. Purchase the upgraded workbench blueprint from Zerine's General Store

3. Gather the materials listed in the blueprint

4. Craft the upgraded station (replaces the old one)

Tips

• Prioritize Crafting profession advancement — nearly every other profession depends on crafted tools and stations.

• The jump from Tier I to Tier II is the biggest power spike. Chainsaw and Electric Drill alone save enormous amounts of time.

• Zerine's General Store is open 24 hours, so you can buy blueprints at any time of day.

• The Realm Box (unlocked at Tier II) is worth building immediately — shared inventory across multiple locations is a huge convenience.
