About

Crafted Element Dust is a resource produced by processing Element Shards through a crafting recipe. It serves as a refined intermediate material in end-game crafting chains, particularly for tek-tier equipment and structures.

Admins grant this item via its GFI code when testing recipes, balancing progression, or restocking a player's materials after server changes. Since it has no numeric item ID, use the GFI spawn method rather than GiveItem.
