Crafting
Like cooking, crafting can only be done by a campfire. It can either be your own, the one found in the Van der Linde Gang camp or any other found on the field.
With crafting, you can create a variety of different items, including tonics, special ammo types, weapons, hunting items, and horse care items. Many of the items available for crafting can also be purchased in stores, but crafting them will allow you to save some money, which is extremely important at the beginning of the game when funds are almost always lacking.

Unlike cooking recipes, crafting recipes are not all available as soon as you have the required ingredients. Several of them need to be learned first by reading pamphlets, which are obtained in a variety of ways in the story mode and by ranking up and purchasing them in Red Dead Online.
