Over your time in Gensokyo, you'll acquire a number of materials. These are used for crafting. Talking to Akyu after getting certain characters, or after clearing stages for extra recipes that are usually useful for upcoming stages. Materials are usually found in treasure chests, and some monsters also drop them, but the rate is low. If you really feel like farming, Sanae as commander allows you to activate Last Words more, and Byakuren's Last Word allows the party to have an increased XP rate, and increased drop change (1 turn only though!).

To actually craft, visit Rinnosuke in Kourindou next to the Forest of Magic. You should be able to access it once you open Stage 3, but a patch might have allowed access earlier.

From left to right, at the top, when you talk to Rinnosuke, are: All, Weapons, Shields, Armor, Accessories, and Materials.

Common Materials

  • つけもの石 (Rock pickles)
  • 竹竿 (Bamboo Pole)
  • 鉄鉱石 (Iron Ore)
  • 魔法のメダル (Magic Medal)
  • 綺麗な鏡 (Beautiful Mirror)
  • 鋼鉄 (Steel)
  • 金塊 (Gold bar)

The first four items can be created by 1 of each of the other 3, in case you need them for some reason. For example, to get one Rock pickle, you need 1 Bamboo Pole, 1 Iron Ore, 1 Magic Medal.

Beautiful Mirrors are needed for all shields. Steel is needed for all armors. They can be converted between each other, but you'll need a gold bar. Accessories require a variety of materials. These material conversions are all on the last page of crafting when you talk to Rinnosuke.

There's a few other items that have the blue potion icon.
