Blueprints are collectible crafting recipes of varying [Rarity](https://moonfrost.gitbook.io/wiki/~/changes/1/resource-gathering#item-rarity) that allow players to create all manner of in-game items such as [Tools](https://moonfrost.gitbook.io/wiki/~/changes/1/gameplay/crafting/tools) or [Decorations](https://moonfrost.gitbook.io/wiki/~/changes/1/gameplay/crafting/decorations) at specific [Craft Sites](https://moonfrost.gitbook.io/wiki/~/changes/1/gameplay/crafting).

Crafting Blueprints for the first time referred to as Blueprint Activation and also awards [XP](https://moonfrost.gitbook.io/wiki/~/changes/1/basics#xp).

Each Blueprint has:

1. Crafting requirements, the items needed to craft the Blueprint
2. A craft cap, the maximum number of items the Blueprint can produce (which can go up and down)
3. An XP reward the amount of XP that is awarded when the Blueprint is crafted for the first time (referred to as Blueprint Activation)
4. A craft time, the amount of real-world time it takes for the Blueprint to be crafted
