Crafting is still done through the Resource Tool. Basically costs 100 gold to craft any item and 100 CP for +1, an extra 100 CP per +1 after cumulative (formula is N(N+1) / 2 *100) so that a +1 is 100 CP but a +5 is 1500.
Each item has a 5% chance to get a trait, this % can be raised by 1% for every extra 10 gold AND 10 CP invested. If you manage to get a trait, you have a 1% chance to get a unique item (unless all have been found). If you do get a unique item, CP and gold are not used.
Max item for no skill is a +6 item. In order to craft a +7 item, you must have the corresponding level 2 skill (Jewelry-Craftsman, Carriage-Breeder, etc). In order to craft a +8 item, you must have the corresponding level 3 skill.
You can have several pieces of equipment for each slot and inter change them through the OI interface.
