There's going to be a number of different types of selectables that you can incorporate as part of the crafting process; each of them having unique results as part of the stat block for the weapon, but also increasing the quality, predicated on the quality of the selectable that you're contributing.^[2] – Steven Sharif

Crafting stations (also referred to as Crafting benches) are workstations located on freeholds or within nodes.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]

Recipes have slots for required and selectable crafting materials. Adding higher rarity selectable materials increases the rarity of the crafted item.^[9]^[1]^[10] Choosing different selectable items can also result in crafted items with different statblocks and unique properties.^[2]

Different tiers of crafting stations represent the quality of the items that can be crafted.^[7]
- Higher tier crafting stations are unlocked with node progression.^[11]
  - עיר (שלב 5) nodes may have one Grandmaster crafting station.^[12]
  - מטרופולין (שלב 6) nodes may have two Grandmaster crafting stations.^[12]
- Players can only craft up to journeyman level on freeholds.^[13]
- Upper-tier crafting benches within a node are accessible by its citizens.^[14]
- Top tier crafting stations are present at all node types, however Academic nodes offer additional bonuses to crafting performed there.^[15]

Crafting stations can pull inventory from a player's personal storage and warehouse storage from the node that the crafting station is in.^[16]

There is no limit to the number of players that can use a crafting station at the same time.^[17]

Crafting stations are distinct from processing stations, which are used to process raw materials into processed goods (crafting materials) at nodes or on freeholds.^[5]^[6]^[18]^[19]

Q: Can crafting stations be mobilized / moved and can they be placed anywhere in the world?

A: It depends on the crafting station. There are going to be different tiers of crafting stations that represent the quality of item you're looking to create within that specific profession. There's going to be crafting stations that can be utilized by players within their freeholds and then crafting stations that are resigned only to the development of particular nodes, within particular areas, or particular buildings... There's a wide variety of those things to make it a more dynamic experience and something that caveat how players decide to build the world and what the value of those things are.^[7] – Steven Sharif
