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

After connecting their [**Armory**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/armories.md) or [**Forge**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops/forges.md) to their [**SPACE**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/space.md)**,** the player can craft and upgrade [**Cosmetic Collectibles**](/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles.md) 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).
