Crafting Recipes — Gear & Upgrades | Burglin' Gnomes
What materials do you need, what gear do you get, and is it worth crafting before your next run? Every recipe links to material pages and to items or enemies when the output matters for survival.

Recommended crafting order for new players
Crafting should reduce risk before it adds damage. Carry capacity, basic defense, mobility, hand control, and material farming each solve a different route problem.
Backpack
Carry gear reduces repeated trips through human, cat, pest, and hazard routes.
Craft first when the team is farming materials or clearing several small tasks in one route.02Pickaxe
Breaks suitable objects into resources without hauling every heavy item home.
Craft when material farming becomes the goal rather than one-off task completion.03Metal Bat
Basic close-range defense and object hits without depending on random weapon spawns.
Craft when pests or hostile gnomes are repeatedly costing the route.04Spring Shoes
Vertical movement can make windows, furniture, and exterior paths safer.
Craft when the house route clearly rewards height or drop recovery.Crafting recipes worth checking first
