Smithing

Flux, tempering oil, whetstones, armour and the gatherers' tools.

A making trade. The guild is in Einbroch . At Master it becomes Toolsmith or Foundryman.

A Blacksmith at the anvil in the Smithing guild, Einbroch.
A Blacksmith at the anvil in the Smithing guild, Einbroch.

Smithing works ore into metal. It makes Phracon, Emveretarcon, Oridecon and Elunium from what Miners bring, Flux that helps a refine and Tempering Oil that saves a piece from breaking, whetstones and polish, plain armour, and the better tools every gathering trade wants.

A Master Smith makes Wrought Steel Bars and slotted armour.

Getting started

Find the Smithing Guildmaster in Einbroch and ask to join. Your first making trade is free. The guildmaster hands you a Smith's Hammer and puts it in your profession equipment.

Your work skill sits at the top of your trade's skill tab. Use it anywhere you can sit, pick a recipe and how many to make, and stay seated until the batch is done. Walking off stops the batch, and nothing you had not started on is lost.

How the work goes

Every recipe shows its chance, the time a piece takes and the EXP it pays, all worked out for you: your level, skills and tool are already counted. Each level you stand above a recipe adds 1% to its chance, up to 10%.

Before a batch you choose a bench action. Normal is the usual chance and time. Steady is 15% surer and a quarter slower. Careful keeps three quarters of the materials when an attempt fails, but a failure then teaches nothing and the work is 40% slower. Rush is 35% faster and 10% less sure, and a failure teaches nothing.

Each item in a batch also rolls a bench condition as it starts: now and then it goes 30% faster, or with steadier hands for +10%, or through a dull stretch 20% slower. The progress bar tells you which.

Every recipe needs at least one guild ingredient, marked in the list below. That ingredient must come from a profession, gathered, caught, grown or made. The same item bought from a shop or dropped by a monster will not count for it, though it still works for the recipe's other ingredients.

Recipes

All 42 recipes. The chance shown is before your skills and level, the EXP is for one made, and the gold ingredient is the guild ingredient that must come from a profession.

Equipment

Each trade has four slots of its own in the Equipment window's Professions tab, beside your normal gear: a tool, an outfit, a charm and a supply. Better pieces come from tasks, the Mark shop and other trades.

    A plain hammer. A Smith cannot forge without one.

    Given by the guildmaster when you join.

  2. Fine Hammer

    Work 5% faster.

    Reward for the Apprentice 20 task. Mark shop, 250 Marks at 1 heart.

  3. Guild Hammer

Levels and tasks

The first time you make anything pays three times its EXP, so a new recipe is always worth one batch. A recipe pays its full EXP until you are ten levels past it, half until twenty levels past, and then nothing, so keep moving up the list.

Make 25 of a recipe and its batches can run to 99 at once.

Guild orders

The five guild clients order goods from every trade. These are what they ask a Smithing hand for, and the level at which each order starts to appear. A delivery pays Guild Marks and trade EXP and wins the client's regard. You can deliver 12 orders a week, and each guildmaster has one request a day on top.

Questions

Tips

  • Gathering tools sell to every new gatherer. Iron Pickaxes, Sickles and Hatchets are early recipes.
  • A Blacksmith who smiths forges weapons more surely with Forge Hand.
Does Flux work on any refine?

Each Flux names the refine levels it helps. It lasts a few minutes or until your next attempt.

Can I hold two trades?

You hold one gathering trade and one making trade at the same time. Smithing takes your making place.

What happens if I change trade?

Your first trade of each kind is free. Changing later costs 100,000 zeny, and the trade you leave keeps its level, skills and log, so you can come back to it.

How do I become a Master?

Reach Apprentice 40 and deliver your guildmaster's masterpiece. You then choose Toolsmith or Foundryman, and your levels start again from Master 1 with your skill points kept. A guildmaster changes your mastery later for 300 Guild Marks and 300,000 zeny.

Can I reset my skills?

Yes. Your guildmaster resets every skill in their trade for 200,000 zeny and gives all the points back to spend, Apprentice and mastery skills alike. Your level and mastery stay. Changing mastery also refunds that mastery's skills.

Why do shops only pay 1 zeny?

What a trade gathers or makes is guild goods. It works in every recipe and quest and trades freely between players, but shops pay 1 zeny for it, so professions never print zeny. Sell to other players or deliver it to the guild clients for Marks.

Can Hardcore characters take a trade?

Yes. Their goods and Marks stay inside the Hardcore economy.

Is there a reward at the top?

The Professions achievements are kept on the account, and reaching Master 50 earns this trade's title.
