Recipes list the ingredients required to engage the various artisans in crafting in Diablo III.
Recipes are a way to make potentially very good items, using raw materials obtained by salvaging items in the Salvage Cube. Unwanted items must be broken down in this fashion, and the materials used for crafting. Whether a player will gain more from salvaging items, or selling them for gold, depends on the item and the needs of your character.
Crafting Items
To craft items, click on one of the three Artisans and select the crafting interface. A long list of recipes will appear. Select the one you want to make, and the recipe will appear. The materials required are listed below, while the item to be made appears off to the right.
The recipe is seen here on the left, with the resulting item to the right. This one would make an Empowered Long Axe; a decent weapon for a low level Barbarian. Crafting items requires the right materials; in this case 6 metal, 1 bone, and 200 gold. Materials are obtained from materials, the raw ingredients obtained by salvaging items in the salvage cube.
All crafting recipes are semi-random in Diablo III; the base item is known, but there are always some random properties, as shown on this axe. Higher quality recipes have some preset modifiers, plus several random ones.
The end game mixture of items is intended to include some rares, some legendary items (uniques) and some crafted items, so the best crafting recipes will have the potential to create truly uber items. It will take many, many tries to get one, of course, with the numerous random properties turning this into a form of semi-directed gambling.
Finding Recipes
Many recipes are inherently known to the Artisans. They know some to start with, and add more each time they level up.
Other recipes though, the ones that can make the best items in the game, must be learned from special scrolls which are found from monster drops. These scrolls, when given to the appropriate Artisan, will teach them how to make that new recipe.

Blizzard has released a number of images of crafting recipes, giving us more visual information about this new game feature.
