In Hogwarts Legacy, crafting is a big part of the game, however, not all the stations you will find in the Room of Requirement can actually be considered Crafting Stations. In this guide we will specifically focus on those that are. Crafting Stations are the workbenches that do not merely serve as decor — instead, they will allow you to grow resources and craft or improve items, to prepare for the adventures headed your way!
Crafting in Hogwarts Legacy is pretty simple and easy to grasp, but becomes quite engaging and addictive once you get into it: you will likely find yourself spending a considerable amount of time nurturing rare Plants, creating Fertilizer, chopping and refining Moonstones, brewing unusual Potions, as well as enchanting your Gear.
Just like any other construct in your Room of Requirement, every Crafting Station will be created with the Conjuring Spell. It is worth mentioning that you can’t use the Conjuring Spell outside of the Room of Requirement! (It would be crazy to see a student conjuring a Potion Station above a Dark Wizard’s head, wouldn’t it?)
(Note that you will need to complete The Room of Requirement quest before you can get access to the Room of Requirement.)
How to Unlock: Complete the Room of Requirement Quest
Materials Required: 2x Moonstone
The Potion Station is one of the first Spellcrafts given to you when you first visit Hogsmeade. Once you complete the Room of Requirement quest, it will be the first Crafting Station that you will place in the Room of Requirement, aside from the already existing Desk of Description.
The Potion Station allows you to brew up to 6 types of potions (7 if you Pre-Order the game).
Potion Stations come in different variants, ranging from Small Potion Stations, Medium Potion Stations, and up to T-Shapped Potion Stations.
Each Potion takes a certain amount of time to brew, and the duration varies from Potion to Potion.
You can only have one Potion Station in your Room of Requirement.
How to Unlock: Complete the Room of Requirement Quest
Materials Required: 2x Moonstone
The Potting Table is one of the first Spellcrafts given to you when you first visit Hogsmeade. Once you complete the Room of Requirement quest, it will be the second Crafting Station that you will place. The Potting Table allows you to grow useful Plants, required for brewing Potions or of the type that can be used in Combat.
Each Plant has a different growth duration depending on whether it is a basic plant or an advanced one. The typical duration for basic plants is 10 minutes while the duration for advanced ones is 15 minutes. You do not have to wait in the Room of Requirement for the Plants to grow.
Potting Tables come in different variants, ranging from Potting Tables with Small Pots, Potting Tables with Medium Pots, and Potting Tables with Large Pots. You will want to buy recipes for a Potting Table with more pots as soon as possible to increase Plant production.
You can have only one Potting Table in the Room of Requirement.
Dung Composter

How to Unlock: Recipe Bought in Hogsmeade (Tomes and Scrolls Shop)

The Dung Composter is a Crafting Station that can be immediately acquired from the Tomes and Scrolls Shop in Hogsmeade. The Composter will periodically produce a Fertiliser that can be used to increase the yield of Plants in your Potting Table.
Since Plants will take between 10-15 minutes to grow, using the Dung Composter will maximize the efficiency of your Potting Table.
The periodic duration is fixed for all Composters.

Hopping Pots
Purpose: Periodically Creates A Random Potion
How to Unlock: Recipe Bought in Hogsmeade (Tomes and Scrolls Shop)

The Hopping Pots Spellcraft is available to purchase immediately upon reaching Hogsmeade — like other Spellcrafts, you can buy it from the Tomes and Scrolls shop.
The brewing Duration is fixed for all Pots.

Even though the Desk of Description comes with the Room of Requirement, you can still freely move it wherever you want.
You can only have a single Desk of Description in your Room of Requirement.
How to Unlock: Finish The Elf, The Nab-Sack, And The Loom Quest
Materials Required: 8x Moonstone
The Enchanted Loom will allow you to Upgrade your Gear and add special Traits to it. It’s unlocked later in the game by completing The Elf, The Nab-Sack, And The Loomquest. However, keep in mind that the Enchanted Loom requires plenty of materials from Magical Beasts, so attending to your Vivarium will be crucial to make use of it.
