How to Upgrade Schematics to Legendary at the Drafting Table

Updated 2026-07-23

You don't have to pray to the loot gods for a Legendary schematic — you can build one. The Drafting Table turns duplicate schematics into higher-rarity ones, and the recipe is the same for every weapon and armor line in the game.

A handful of special lines even let you combine five base schematics into their Schematic 1. Each combine is a hefty crafting job, so station a strong Handiwork Pal and let it work.

What to Upgrade First

Combining is expensive at the top of the ladder, so spend your duplicates where the payoff is real:
