# Schematics

A **Schematic** is a piece of crafting *knowledge* you find out in the World. Consuming one **permanently unlocks a recipe** on your account, adding it to the list of things you can craft. Schematics are in-game items that live in your **Backpack** until you learn them.

{% hint style="info" %}
📍 **Jump in:** Open the [Cooking Station](https://pawtato.gg/?ck=1\&move=4543:1568) or [Fisherman's Hut](https://pawtato.gg/?mb=1\&move=5590:795) in Pawtato Land.
{% endhint %}

"Schematic" is the umbrella term. Each schematic is one of three sub-types:

<table><thead><tr><th width="200">Sub-type</th><th>Unlocks</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Recipe</strong></td><td>Cooking recipes made at the <a href="/pages/fbtPxi7xPfw1ygFmHFCE">Cooking Station</a></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Blueprint</strong></td><td>Epic <strong>weapon</strong> recipes, learned at the <a href="/pages/fbtPxi7xPfw1ygFmHFCE">equipment craftsman</a> that forges the weapon, and <strong>material</strong> recipes such as Flaxen Twine at the Tailor — see <a href="/pages/ia8aPhJeGTp96P0k00fj">Blueprints</a></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Formula</strong></td><td>Alchemy recipes, learned at the <a href="/pages/fbtPxi7xPfw1ygFmHFCE">Alchemist</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
All three sub-types exist today — Recipes unlock cooking at the [Cooking Station](/pawtato-land/gameplay/buildings/crafting-stations.md), [Blueprints](/pawtato-land/gameplay/consumables/blueprints.md) unlock an epic weapon at its equipment craftsman or a material at the **Tailor**, and Formulas unlock potion brewing at the [Alchemist](/pawtato-land/gameplay/buildings/crafting-stations.md).
{% endhint %}

## Current Recipes

Recipe schematics are shown in your Backpack as **Recipe:&#x20;*****\<Dish>***. Learning one lets the [Cooking Station](/pawtato-land/gameplay/buildings/crafting-stations.md) cook that dish, which grants your Heroes a **24-hour effect buff** when eaten.

<table><thead><tr><th width="230">Recipe</th><th width="200">Cooks</th><th>Effect (24 hours)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Recipe: Taterfin Stew</strong></td><td>Taterfin Stew</td><td>+20% Combat XP Gain</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Recipe: Spicy Spudscale</strong></td><td>Spicy Spudscale</td><td>+20% Stamina Regeneration</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Recipe: Fried Hashibut</strong></td><td>Fried Hashibut</td><td>+3 Vitality</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Finding Schematics

Schematics are earned through play, not crafted. You can come across them as **loot** out in the World, from **events**, **tournaments** and the [Arena](/pawtato-land/gameplay/player-vs.-player/arena.md) — or buy them at the **Fisherman's Hut**.

At the [Fisherman's Hut](/pawtato-land/gameplay/adventure/fishing.md) the three cooking recipes are sold **for fish** — no TATO — and gated behind your **Shoalkeepers** [Reputation](/pawtato-land/gameplay/the-world/reputation.md):

<table><thead><tr><th width="230">Recipe</th><th width="200">Paid in</th><th>Reputation required</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Recipe: Taterfin Stew</strong></td><td>Taterfin</td><td>Trusted</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Recipe: Spicy Spudscale</strong></td><td>Spudscale</td><td>Trusted</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Recipe: Fried Hashibut</strong></td><td>Hashibut</td><td>Admired</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="warning" %}
Recipe schematics are **soulbound** — *learned, not traded*. You cannot sell them on the [Marketplace](/pawtato-land/gameplay/marketplace-and-exchange/marketplace.md); they are meant to be consumed to unlock the recipe for your own account.
{% endhint %}

## Learning a Recipe

You learn Recipe schematics at the **Cooking Station**, on its **Recipes** tab. Learning **consumes the schematic** and permanently adds the recipe to your Cooking Station — a recipe only ever needs to be learned **once**.

* A schematic for a recipe you don't yet have is marked **(available)** with a green **Learn Recipe** button.
* A schematic for a recipe you already know is marked **(already known)**, and its **Already Known** button is disabled — you can't learn the same recipe twice, and the game won't consume a duplicate.
* Until you've learned any recipes, the Cooking Station's **Crafting** tab is empty and prompts you to venture out into the World to find some.

{% hint style="info" %}
A schematic that is currently **listed on the Marketplace** can't be learned until you delist it.
{% endhint %}

### How to learn a Recipe (step by step)

1. On the world map, open the [**Cooking Station**](https://pawtato.gg/?ck=1\&move=4543:1568).
2. Select the **Recipes** tab. It lists every recipe schematic in your Backpack, each tagged **(available)** or **(already known)**.
3. Pick an **(available)** schematic to open it.
4. Click **Learn Recipe** and confirm. The schematic is consumed and you'll see a **"*****\<Recipe>*****&#x20;learned!"** confirmation.
5. Switch to the **Crafting** tab — the new dish is now available to cook whenever you have the fish it calls for.
