Crafted Items & CustomizationCrafted items are objects created and distributed by players from the crafting process. Crafted items usually have a number of unique features and stats. Crafted consumable items are usually used by radial menu or by hot baring them. Other crafted items are used as components for other crafts or are decorative in nature. Some items, in particularly pets, come in the form of deeds and upon being used, will deposit the contents into the user's datapad or into the world such as the case with pets, vehicles, and player structures.
All crafted items come with an identification tag listing the name of the player that crafted the item. This tag is referred simply as the Object Creator. Another feature that distinguishes crafted items from non crafted ones is the use of serial numbers. All crafting related components, schematics and final products are given an 8 digit alphanumeric code upon creation. This makes each item or set of items unique. Looted items do not have serial numbers, with the exception of looted crafting components. In the case of looted crafting components, these inherit the Object Creator attribute but since no player created them, they do not have a name. Looted components are given serial numbers as well so as to prevent making mass production runs of similar components within factories.
When it comes to Looted items, this philosophy remains the same. At times certain objects are looted in which have been given special designations such as (exceptional) and (legendary). For example a player loots Advanced Sword Core (Exceptional). These indicate that the object are unique and has special modifiers or enhancements, however they are all still of the same Type of object. Examining this object will indicate the original Base that the item name derives from. These traits are replicated in other base item types as well such as for instance Rancor Tooth components which are their own item type, but of which may also have exceptional, and legendary counterparts. For more information on exceptional and legendary items, see Loot Components.
Another difference between looted and crafted items can be seen in wearable clothing and armors. Looted items do not contain sockets and therefore cannot accept Armor or clothing attachments.
