That, in turn, will make the game itself easier as well.

You don’t necessarily have to use everything you craft.
you’re able to also sell the crafter items to merchants.
To unlock a crafting category you need toupgrade its specific skill to at least level 1.
Purchasing a skill may also be required to unlock another.
For example, only after purchasing theammo crafting skillwill you be able to purchase thegrenade crafting skill.

You must find a trainer specializing in the crafting category you want to learn and pay for training.
You must also sufficiently develop Jax’s attributes.
Training will be unavailable if they’re too low.
