Antiquities/Jewelry Crafting

Antiquities

Antiquities are ancient items of Altis like gold and silver doubloons that can be excavated from shipwrecks around the island. See the Wreck Excavating Guide for more information. They can then be sold for profit at the commodities trader. While this is a legal way of making money, you may also melt this antiquities down into rolled silver or rolled gold to sell at a Wong's Dealer for more money, or use this rolled silver and gold to craft highly coveted, and highly illegal, jewelry to sell to the African Warlord.

Antiquity Forge

• The first step to this process is to take your silver and gold doubloons to an antiquity forge. Once at this location, make sure the amount of doubloons you have on hand to process is divisible by 3! Any leftover during a process outside of this will be lost!
• Once you have processed any doubloons you have into rolled silver or rolled gold, you have two options from here. The first is to sell your rolled precious metals at a Wong's Dealer, located in any of the major cities; or, alternatively, you could further process them into illegal jewelry for more profit.
• Be aware! Because you are defacing valuable Altisian antiquities, the APD has declared this act illegal, and if caught with these rolled metals, you may be arrested and charged with Possession of Illegal Antiquities, giving you a $7,500 bounty.

Jewelry Crafting

• Once you have processed your silver and gold doubloons into rolled sheets, you can then take these sheets to one of the Illicit Fabricator. These processors are located and marked on the map at each of the black markets on the island. Once at this location, you can craft any of the following jewels/items using the following recipes:
  • Rolex Watch: 2 Rolled Silver, 2 Rolled Gold, 2 Cut Diamonds
  • AP Watch: 2 Rolled Silver, 2 Rolled Gold, 2 Glass
  • Engagement Ring: 2 Rolled Gold, 2 Flawless Diamonds
  • Cuban Link: 2 Rolled Silver, 2 Rolled Gold, 2 Flawless Diamonds
• After processing all your resources into these various items, you can then take and sell them to the African Warlord.
• Be aware! Because you are supplying these illegal jewels made with illegal antiquities to the African Warlord, the APD may try to stop and arrest you, charging you with Possession of Illegal Jewels, giving you a $10,000 bounty.
