Crafting

Crafting is how you convert between points in Skulliance. It revolves around DIAMOND - forming it, breaking it apart, and minting it from CARBON. The Crafting panel lives in the sidebar of the Dashboard and Store pages.

Craft (Core Points → DIAMOND)

Members who hold all six core artist projects can craft DIAMOND by burning equal parts of all six core points. The ratio is 1:1 per point type - crafting 1 DIAMOND consumes 1 of each core point (CRYPT, CYBER, SINDER, HYPE, DREAD, STAR).

Shatter (DIAMOND → Core Points)

Crafting is reversible. Shattering DIAMOND converts it back into equal parts of all six core points - 1 DIAMOND becomes 1 of each core point. This is the key move for Realms players: shatter DIAMOND into the exact core points you need to upgrade locations.

Burn (CARBON → DIAMOND)

CARBON is converted to DIAMOND by burning in multiples of 100, at a rate of 100 CARBON = 1 DIAMOND. CARBON comes from Missions, Realms (your Mine and the raid/faction leaderboards), and Diamond Skull delegation.

The Crafting Loop

These three operations form the economic engine of the platform:

1. Earn CARBON from Missions, Realms, and delegation.
2. Burn CARBON into DIAMOND (100:1).
3. Shatter DIAMOND into equal parts core points.
4. Spend core points on Realms upgrades - or save DIAMOND to claim premium store items.

Because DIAMOND can be both crafted from and shattered into core points, it acts as a universal reserve: convert surplus core points into DIAMOND for storage or store claims, and shatter DIAMOND back whenever you need specific core points. See Points and Carbon Emissions.
