Materials in Avowed can be upgraded using lower quality materials through the Workbench. Learn more about how and where to upgrade materials with this guide!

Materials can be crafted from the Workbench in the Party Camp. Upon interacting with the Workbench, go to the Crafting tab on the top of the screen. From there, you can see all the materials you can craft based on the materials you already have.
To craft a certain material, you need lower-quality materials of the same type. For example, you need 4 Iron Chunks to craft 1 Steel Chunk.
The highest quality of upgrade materials you can craft will depend on the quality of items you own. For example, to unlock Exceptional quality upgrade materials, you will need to own at least one Exceptional weapon or armor piece.
