Weapon Crafting

Weapon Crafting is a feature introduced with The Witch Queen expansion which allows players to make, upgrade, and customize their own weapons. It can be accessed by interacting with the Relic found in The Enclave in Savathûn's Throne World near the left-hand side of the map. The Relic where weapon crafting is preformed is found behind large black doors down the steps in The Enclave.

In order to unlock weapon crafting, players need to complete the first mission of the Witch Queen Campaign, after which they will be tasked with crafting The Enigma.

Deepsight Resonance
Deepsight Resonance is a new weapon feature also added with the Witch Queen expansion. Weapons will occasionally drop with Deepsight Resonance, marked by red borders around the icon of the gun. In order to extract the resonance, players need to use the gun in activities and get kills with it which will fill up the bar labeled Attunement Progress. After this bar is filled, players can extract the resonance from within the gun to gain 300 Resonant Elements. If the gun is able to be crafted, extracting the resonance will also unlock a portion of the pattern for that weapon.

Patterns
Patterns are needed to craft weapons and are unlocked by extracting Deepsight Resonance from a certain amount of the same gun. For example, in order to craft an Austringer, you will need to extract the resonance of five Deepsight Austringers in order to unlock the pattern. Your progress for patterns can be seen by going to Patterns & Catalysts under the Triumphs page. Some weapons require more Deepsight Resonance extractions than others in order to unlock their pattern.

Resonant Alloys/Drowned Alloys
Resonant Alloys are a random material drop from dismantled Legendary weapons. These alloys are needed to select between different intrinsic traits. Drowned Alloys are needed to craft weapons from the Vow of the Disciple raid and drop from dismantled weapons from that raid.

Ascendant Alloys
Ascendant Alloys are needed to craft weapons with Enhanced Perks. They can be obtained from Master Rahool, Nightmare Containment, the weekly Witch Queen campaign mission, and the Master version of The Wellspring.

Weapon Upgrading
Weapons can have their perks changed and upgraded by going to the Reshape tab when interacting with the crafting relic. Note that you cannot reshape weapons that are locked and/or that are currently equipped.

Leveling Up
Newly crafted weapons will only start off with a handful of perks and intrinsic traits. In order to unlock all the available perks from your weapon, you must level up the weapon by getting kills or completing activities with the weapon. You can track your progress by checking the "Weapon Level" progress bar beneath the weapon's Power Level. Your perk options will increase per level and all perks and their enhanced versions will be unlocked by level 16.

When a weapon reaches level 7, it can be reshaped to have an enhanced intrinsic trait, giving it bonuses like a Legendary weapon's Masterwork. When a weapon reaches level 20, this intrinsic trait will have its value increased. Intrinsic traits cost Resonant Alloys, or Drowned Alloys for weapons from the Vow of the Disciple raid.

Enhanced Perks
Enhanced Perks are upgraded perks that are slightly better than their non-enhanced counterparts. In order to reshape a weapon with Enhanced Perks, you will need Ascendant Alloys to do so.

A weapon with an enhanced intrinsic trait and an two enhanced perks will gain a golden border, like fully upgraded Masterwork weapons.

Mementos
Mementos are rare drops that can be obtained from the core playlists activities Crucible, Gambit, and Strikes as well as Nightfalls and Trials of Osiris. Applying a Memento to your weapon unlocks a kill tracker, weapon title, and unique shader. Mementos can also be upgraded, unlocking the aforementioned perks with more leveling.
 * Level 10 - Kill Tracker
 * Level 20 - Weapon Title
 * Level 30 - Shader

Exotics
Some Exotic weapons can be crafted. Exotics will not have enhanced perks, but will unlock their Exotic catalyst upon reaching Level 10. Mementos cannot be inserted in Exotic weapons.
