Issue

All crafting recipes currently only use materials from within a single zone. There are no recipes that combine materials from multiple zones, which misses an opportunity to make endgame crafting more interesting and to give earlier-zone materials ongoing relevance in later play.

Expected Behaviour

Some higher-tier recipes should require materials from multiple zones, encouraging players to revisit earlier exploration areas and creating a sense of interconnected world-building through the crafting system.

Steps to Reproduce

Open apps/api/src/data/recipes.ts
For each recipe, check the zone origin of each required material
Confirm that no recipe spans more than one zone

Suggested Fix

Add a handful of cross-zone recipes (especially for endgame or prestige-tier equipment) that require materials from 2–3 different zones.

Priority

🟢 Low — a missed design opportunity, not a balance-breaking issue
