Use Tinkering to craft and equip with materials gained from Crusades. There are 6 free equipment slots and 1 premium slot that can be purchased with 350 gems. No Tinkering materials, levels, or equipment are lost after Ascending.
Crafting materials are organized into six tiers: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Pearlescent. Higher tier items drop from higher level Crusade bosses and difficulty tiers as represented in the following table:
Crusade

Recipes[]
Recipes are unlocked by gaining levels from crafting equipment and boosters. Higher tier recipes are crafted by using excess crafted items from previous tiers. This works out because it's necessary to create many lower tier items in order to level up Tinkering, so those resources are never lost and end up being used in later tiers.
Once an item is crafted, it will always be available to be equipped, even if all excess items are used later. Recipe costs do not increase after crafting an item. Crusade item bonuses work everywhere in the game.
Later on, in the Tunnel, you are able to unlock a 3rd bonus for each item by constructing the Tink Time building (for Weapons, Helmets and Shirts) and Tinkolicious building (for Pants, Offhands and Pendants)
