Vanadinite is a basic crafting material that’s used to create Ilmenite Ingots by Armorers and Blacksmiths. These Ilmenite Ingots can further be used to craft the ilvl 610 Rinascita armor and weapon sets for Disciples of War and Magic, as well as the ilvl 620 Indagator gear and tool sets for Disciples of the Hand and Land. The ingots are also used in other random creations, like minions and furnishings.

It’s safe to say that if you’re a serious crafter, you’ll probably be using a lot of Vanadinite, so stock up on those tomestones of Astronomy as best you can.
