To become a [**Cosmetic Collectible**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) crafter, a player must acquire [**SPACE**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/space) and either an [**Armory**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/armories) or a [**Forge**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/forges).

After connecting their [**Armory**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/armories) or [**Forge**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/forges) to their [**SPACE**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/space)**,** the player can craft and upgrade [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles) by using the required crafting materials.

Once a player finishes crafting their collectible, they can list it for sale on the [**Open Loot Marketplace**](https://openloot.com/explore).
