"You'll find many ingredients for bomb recipes scattered throughout the city. So keep your eyes open and your nose to the ground as you move about."

―Yusuf Tazim to Ezio Auditore, 1511^[src]^-[m]

A bomb-crafting station was a location used to craft bombs, both inside Constantinople and other locations. These stations were often used by the Italian Assassin Ezio Auditore during his travels^[1] after he was introduced to them by the Master Assassins Yusuf Tazim and Piri Reis from the Ottoman Brotherhood.^[2]

Description[edit | edit source]

The crafting stations were small, boxlike, and somewhat inconspicuous save for the localized Assassin insignia, set up by the Assassins to enable the crafting and modifying of bombs. There were three inventory pouches inside a station, each holding bombs sorted according to their use, whether lethal, tactical, or diversionary. Up to five bombs could be manufactured with different types, amounts, and combinations of ingredients, for a maximum total of 15 bombs on hand at any given time.^[1]
