In Windrose, you aren’t going to be able to accomplish much if you aren’t crafting. In fact, crafting is basically the core element of this game, as you won’t have weapons, armor, food, or even a functioning ship without the ability to craft. The hard part is figuring out every recipe currently available, which will likely change over time since Windrose is in early access, because recipes are learned through discoveries and station upgrades.

How to Craft Healing Potions in Windrose
Healing Potions are necessary for boss battles in Windrose.
Depending on your play style, you might prefer sailing the seas over crafting. However, you can at least set most crafting stations to start working on a recipe if you need many of that item, and it requires time to craft it, as once you queue up the craft, you can leave the station and come back later.
Workbench Recipes

The workbench is the station that lets you start building your base. This is where you’ll craft items like coarse fabric, nails, bullets, tools, and other materials that are required for more complex recipes.

If you want to be more durable in combat, then you’ll need to craft your own gear. The nice part with this station is that you’ll automatically get the recipe for any rare piece of gear you pick up, and when you upgrade the station, you can craft the same items at higher levels.
