Crafting is an essential part of the Roblox 99 Nights in the Forest game. But what to craft first is the most important decision. The crafting bench is divided into five tiers, starting from the cheapest to costlist items. Each item has a property that can impact your overall gameplay. For example, a simple map can become your guiding star to locate lost children, chests, etc. So this guide will help you to pick from the most important to the least important items to craft first in 99 Nights in the Forest.
