Item synthesis is now a pretty common aspect of most RPG's where the player
can craft their own items after acquiring recipes. This plugin enables your
players to be able to do that after acquiring the said recipes. Recipes can
come in the form of items, weapons, and/or armors and transcribed in them
are what items, weapons, and/or armors they can make. These items can be
made from the main menu and/or synthesis locations!
To allow the player the ability to craft a certain item, that item must be
included in a recipe notetag in an item that the player possesses.
Item, Weapon, and Armor Notetags:
<Item Recipe: x>
<Item Recipe: x, x, x>
<Item Recipe: x to y>
This will change this item into a recipe for x item(s). As long as this
item is in possession by the party as a whole, item(s) x can be
synthesized by the player provided that the player has the proper quantity
of ingredients.
* Note: Entries without names will not be included. Entries without both a
synthesis cost and without an ingredient list will not be included.
<Weapon Recipe: x>
<Weapon Recipe: x, x, x>
<Weapon Recipe: x to y>
This will change this item into a recipe for x weapon(s). As long as this
item is in possession by the party as a whole, weapon(s) x can be
synthesized by the player provided that the player has the proper quantity
of ingredients.
* Note: Entries without names will not be included. Entries without both a
synthesis cost and without an ingredient list will not be included.
<Armor Recipe: x>
<Armor Recipe: x, x, x>
<Armor Recipe: x to y>
This will change this item into a recipe for x armor(s). As long as this
item is in possession by the party as a whole, armor(s) x can be
synthesized by the player provided that the player has the proper quantity
of ingredients.
* Note: Entries without names will not be included. Entries without both a
synthesis cost and without an ingredient list will not be included.
<Synthesis Ingredients>
item id
item id: x
weapon id
weapon id: x
armor id
armor id: x
gold: x
named item
named item: x
</Synthesis Ingredients>
Using the above tag in an item will set those items as the ingredients
required for the player to synthesize. Replace "id" with the proper item,
weapon, or armor ID's. If no ":x" is used, the database will register that
as only needing 1 of that item as an ingredient. If "gold: x" is used,
that will be the cost required to synthesize the item.
If you are using named entries, priority will be given to the highest ID
in the order of items, weapons, then armors.
* Note: If you are using Item Core, Independent Items cannot become an
ingredient for a recipe and will therefore be automatically omitted.
<Mask Name: x>
If you are masking unknown items' names, you can change the text shown for
the unknown item with x. This will cause the game to use the mask name
instead of the usual ??? (if that's what you're using) to mask the item.
This can give a player a general idea of what they may be synthesizing
such as "Strange Liquid" or "Weird Crystal".
The following are Plugin Commands you may use with events.

For those who wish to make the player synthesize only specific recipes, you
can use the following command.
OpenSynthesis Item 15 Recipe
- or -
OpenSynthesis Weapon 20 Recipe
- or -
OpenSynthesis Armor 30 Recipe
This will make the synthesis menu, when opened up, only allow the recipes of
the Item 15, Weapon 20, or Armor 30 without needing it and not showing the
recipes of any recipe items within the player's inventory.
