Blacksmithing

For Blacksmith Repair Rates, see Repairing#Blacksmith Repairs.

For Blacksmith Hammer, see Blacksmith Hammer.

Description

This skill is required when creating an item by using metal ingots. It involves melting ingots and pouring the ore into a mold, then hammering, heating, and cooling it. Once you thoroughly learn this skill, you can make weapons. But, in order to use this skill, you will need an Anvil to beat the heated metal.

Details

Allows the player to forge Armor, Weapons, and Tools. See the Blacksmithing List for a list of all items that can be forged through Blacksmithing.
Requires the player to stand near an Anvil and equip both a Blacksmith Hammer and Blacksmith Manual.
At Rank 9 and above, items created by the player have the opportunity to bear their signature.
Unfinished items dropped on the ground cannot be picked up by other players. However, unfinished items can be traded between players.

Blacksmithing Minigame

To forge an item through Blacksmithing, the player must first complete the item up to 99.9% by repeatedly using the skill and supplying materials for that item. Then they must supply the finishing materials and complete the Blacksmithing Minigame.

Successes will increase the completion percentage, while failures will decrease the completion percentage. Huge Successes or Huge Failures will amplify these effects.
Once an item has reached 99.9%, the player is then prompted to finish the Last Stage of the item by using specific finishing materials. This step requires a player to complete the Blacksmithing Minigame.
- After pressing Start, five red Xs with hammer icons above them will float around for approximately ten seconds. Once they stop, each one must be hit by clicking on them with the cursor.
- The cursor becomes a small diamond with a hammer icon to its top right.
  - The diamond should be centered on the middle of each X.
  - The size of the diamond is decreased at ranks C and 8, increasing the accuracy of the hit.
- A gauge will fill up over the course of about 4-7 seconds. For a hit to be considered successful, the click must register while it is in in the green region.
  - One of two different sound effects will play depending on if the hit was performed successfully, or if it was missed/not clicked entirely.
- After five hits, you will be prompted to click anywhere to finalize the minigame.
- The text command /logout may be used at anytime to cancel the minigame if the results are unsatisfactory.
  - (Warning) Finishing Materials used will be consumed.
- The Production Quality resulting from the minigame is solely determined by the distance between the hits and their target.
  - The timing and order of hits does not matter as long as it is was performed somewhere within the green region of the gauge.
- The actual pixel of each hit is randomly determined at the time of clicking. It's spread is determined by the size of the cursor's diamond.
  - Therefore, the final Production Quality is probabilistic and will vary even with pixel-perfect hits.

Finishing Color

The colors of items forged through Blacksmithing are random.
- The item's final colors are determined at the time of its first completion percentage.
The player may alternatively choose to finish with a Copper, Silver, or Gold Ingot to produce items of a Red, Silver, or Gold Color, respectively. This overrides the predetermined color.

The following is used as an example. The actual color may vary from equipment to equipment.

Copper, Silver and Gold Finish
Copper ( #773333)	Silver ( #AAAAAA)	Gold ( #BB9955)

Blacksmithing Equipment Grades

Production Quality is based on the results of the Blacksmithing Minigame and Production Quality bonuses.
- Blacksmithing Minigame Production Quality is calculated as floor(100 - 3 * penalty).
  - penalty is the sum distance of error between all five hits, measured in pixels.
    - For example, a hit that is 2 pixels away from the target on the x axis and 1 pixel away from the target on the y axis would contribute sqrt(2^2 + 1^2) = 2.236068 penalty.
  - Hits that are not performed within the green section of the bar gauge or are too far from their target count as 15 penalty.
- Production Quality bonuses may come from the Monday production bonus, enchants, and titles.
  - Monday grants Production Quality +3.
  - See Product Quality Modifiers for a list of enchants that increase Production Quality.
  - See Titles for titles that affect Production Quality.
    - Special Luminous Cosmos Milky Way 2nd title adds Production Quality +4.
    - Crazy Crafter 2nd title adds Production Quality +3.
    - Edern 2nd title adds Production Quality +2.
  - Unlike Tailoring, there is no Blacksmithing Production Bonus Reforge.

After finishing an item, the game display a message based on the quality of the item (incomplete list), and any applied stat bonuses (incomplete table).
- ?: "Your item isn't really fit for use. Maybe you could get some decent scrap wood out of it."
- ?: "Your creation is just as good as anything you can get from a store."
- ?: "Your creation is far superior to anything you can get from a store."
- B: "Your efforts created an above-average item!"
- B+ (81?): "Your hard work produced a very nice item!"
- 100: "You created a godly item! Excellent work!"
A Production Quality of 80 or above is required for the crafter's signature to be placed onto the item.
The following table shows how much the stats of the equipment increases at which grade.

*Blacksmithing does not add to Skill Combat Power.

Obtaining the Skill

Complete the quest The Basics of Smithing.

Or,

Equip a Blacksmith Hammer and talk to Edern in Bangor, Meles in Filia, or Taunes in Vales with the Skills Keyword.

Training Method

"Achieve a good result forging a tool or a weapon." requires the manual's rank to be no more than one rank below the player's Blacksmithing rank.
To "Achieve a great result forging a tool or a weapon.", the manual must be at least 2 ranks higher than the player's skill rank.

Tips

Part-time Jobs offered by Edern can help ease training as he provides a manual and its materials.
- If your blacksmithing rank is under Rank 9, Edern will always assign a part-time job that gives you skill experience if you have access to those jobs For example, if you are rank B and have access to his intermediate part-time jobs, you will always be given a job to make boots.
  - If your Part-time Job is not high enough (e.g. less than 51 (Basic) will only get you as far as helmets), you will be given random jobs from the part-time job status you currently hold until you obtain a higher number/percent of successfully completed jobs.
  - After you reach rank 9, Edern will always give you random jobs, no longer providing you with specific jobs that give skill experience regardless of the number of successful part-time jobs you have done as your rank is now higher than that of Advanced.
It is recommended to use a Blacksmith Hammer that has a blacksmith exp bonus. This can be acquired with a Reforging Tool and a blacksmith hammer.
