Most of the recipes you learn during Story Mode become unlocked in Free Play when you complete a chapter. Some are unlocked from completing challenges in chapters. Eventually, every recipe that isn’t tied directly to the story (e.g. Sunstone, Staff of Rain) becomes available for Free Play.
Recipes Unlocked via Chapter Challenge
The recipes unlocked through chapter challenges provide access to Material (listed in Appendix II), Decorations (listed in Appendix III), and Equipment (listed in Appendix IV). There are a handful of recipes in Free Play that allow you to create equipment that doesn’t appear anywhere in Story Mode.
The new clothing unlocked from the Cantlin challenge provides nostalgic wardrobe options. Fire blades add a fireball to your spinning attack technique. The fireball acts the same as a thrown item (such as Sizz shot), but you still follow through with the spinning attack. Kaboom shot acts like a shot from a cannon without the wait for recharge.
The item with the biggest impact to your building choices is the Hammer of the Builder. The Hammer of the Builder is powerful enough to remove any type of block from the environment and keep it intact, which means you can now build with veins. You could build a home from zenithium blocks with orichalcum accents!
