The humble Shaft is a crafting component that can be used to make a wide variety of items in Nightingale. Although you won’t find many uses for this item early on, you’ll gradually start to realize just how versatile it is as you progress through the game.
Nightingale doesn’t like to hold the player’s hand and expects them to figure out by themselves how most things work in this game. That’s one of the aspects we appreciate about the game, however, sometimes you do need a bit of help to steer you in the right direction. That’s what we’re here for. Keep reading to find out how to craft Shafts and what to do with them.
How To Craft A Shaft In Nightingale
As with most things in this game, you’ll need a specific crafting station along with a few resources before you’re able to start crafting Shafts. The crafting station in question is the Simple Smelter, the very same station where you can also craftGlass and Ingots. If you don’t have the recipe for it already, you can buy it from theAbeyance Essence Traderfor 55Essence Dust.
Once you’ve set up your Simple Smelter, you’ll need to process two Ingots for every Shaft you want to make. As mentioned earlier, Ingots can be created at the very same station. You’ll need x2 Ore per Ingot, so it’s time to start mining some Tin or other mineral deposits. You can use other types of Ores to make Shafts but if you’re still in the early game you’ll almost always want to use Tin.
