Crafter Class Guide — Tier 4, 10,000 Cores, All 4 Levels

What Crafter actually does

Crafter is a Tier 4 Academy class at 10,000 Cores. Like every class in the game, it hands you starter gear (Crafter Armor Set, Resource Scanner, Wrench, Furnace) and then scales through four levels - three personal upgrades and a team bonus at the end.

The Level 1 passive is the identity: Crafting Shack prices are reduced by 10%. Everything after that builds on the same idea rather than switching lanes.

Level by level

Level 4 is the team bonus - it applies to the whole 30-player server and gates on career total depth, not on anything you do in one run.

Is Crafter worth 10,000 Cores?

Crafter sits in the mid-tier band, which is usually the best value in the Academy: expensive enough to matter, cheap enough to reach without a dedicated grind. If its passive matches your bottleneck, it is a reasonable buy before any Tier 5.

Where it fits in a team

The team bonus is what makes Crafter show up in multiplayer lobbies: Crafting Shack prices are reduced by 5%. In a 30-player server that is a bonus nobody has to spend their own Cores on, which is why team-first classes get picked even by players who main something else.

Drill Boost stacks with the upgrade cards covered in the drill upgrades guide.
