# Crafting and Upgrading

## In-game Crafting <a href="#id-2ebb" id="id-2ebb"></a>

You can use your goo and exp to craft shards, 50 Exp NFTs, and Slimos in-game. To get started, simply send the **`/craft`** command and follow the instructions.&#x20;

If you need to deposit ingredients for crafting, issue the **`/deposit`** command and follow the instructions, or see the [section on depositing NFTs](deposit-and-extract-nfts). Note that Slimeys should only be deposited for blending. Once they are deposited, they are not available to train and cannot be refunded. Only deposit the Slimeys you plan on evolving.&#x20;

Once you have crafted the items you want, you can keep them in the game, or [extract them to your wallet](deposit-and-extract-nfts).&#x20;

## Crafting on NeftyBlocks <a href="#id-2ebb" id="id-2ebb"></a>

Slimax, and occasionally also the potions needed to create Slimax, can be [blended on NeftyBlocks](https://neftyblocks.com/c/pixeltycoons/blends). See each blend for the required ingredients.

While Slimo blends are also available on NeftyBlocks, the necessary potions have been discontinued and may be difficult to find. If you do not own the [Catalyst Potion 1](https://www.nfthive.io/collection/pixeltycoons?tab=templates\&term=catalyst%2520potion%25201\&verified=all) used in the blend on Nefty, you can craft the Slimo in-game instead.
