'''Note about trivials!''' ''The kunark era pages at eqtraders.com list the trivials in the "Classic Trivial".

Blacksmithing is an ancient craft.  Through its teachings you will learn to forge the primal elements of our lands into useful tools, as well as arms and armor.  Those highly skilled in the trade are even known to be able to create magical items.

== Overview ==

To forge an item, you must collect all the components required, and then place them within a [[forge]].  Once this is completed, you simply combine them (click the combine button on the forge) and you will either create the item, or fail. It is important to note that items must not be stacked when attempting to combine them (Hold CTRL when you click a stack to take just one item from the stack).  Either way you will lose the base components.

When you first enter the learning cycle of smithing, you have two options available to you:

1) You can go to your guildmaster and ask them to train you.  By saving up the training points given to you, you can achieve an elementary skill (21 points) without ever seeing a forge.

2) Learn on your own and not waste those precious training points.  I suggest this route.  Why? Because while smithing is an expensive craft to master, learning its basics is very inexpensive.  Simply find a merchant selling sharpening stones and buy a few packs full.  Then park your behind at the forge of choice, and offer to sharpen the rusty weapons of those adventurers around you.  This alone will progress your skill beyond that which your guildmaster can teach you.

Many of the components required for your smithing, will be purchased either from various Merchants (NPCs), or from other Craftsmen.  However, as you progress in skill and start making the more difficult items, you will find that many things you need can only be found by adventuring, or by purchasing them from others who have adventured.  Your search for these more elusive components will literally span the known lands, but fret not, as the results of your trials will be worth it.   Imagine holding that magical war hammer in your hand, knowing that you forged it yourself with sweat and tears!

=== Quests ===

Blacksmithing can be used to produce [[Banded Armor]], which is required for the various [[Totemic Armor Quests]] ([[Shaman]]).  It is also used in the [[The Spirit of Garzicor]] quest, where smithing can be used to create the {{:Finished Naginata Blade}} (trivial 206) needed in that quest.

On live the 8th of the [[Coldain Prayer Shawl Quests]] required blacksmithing.

== Blacksmithing Leveling Guide ==
'''Strength or Intelligence or Wisdom, whichever is higher governs your chance to gain skill increases.'''
=== Getting Started (Up to 68) ===
* '''0 to 21:''' [[Metal Bits]] and [[File]] 
** Buy 3 [[File Mold]], 53 [[Water Flask]], 100 [[Small Piece of Ore]] (~20pp). 
*** Do ~50 [[Metal Bits]] combines, and then 3 [[File]]. (Keep 1, sell extras)
*** You will want ~40 metal bits left after making your file.
* '''21 to 31:''' [[Sheet Metal]] (How much?  Need a ton for banded later...)
* '''41 to 68:''' [[Large Lantern]]
** Need to buy 40 [[Lantern Casing Mold]] and 40 [[Bottle|Bottles]] (~6pp). 
** Around forty combines will use up your metal bits from earlier and get you to around 68. Sell Lanterns after to get some money back. 
=== Banded Armor (Up to 115) ===
You will need to do about 60-70 combines to go from 68 to 115. If you intend to wear the banded armor, you may want to do a couple of each slot at each tier, and combine extras before focusing on the cheapest to move up. The list below groups by trivial level, and gives the cheapest option if you just care about skill points.

* '''69 to 90:''' [[Banded Belt]], [[Banded Boots]], [[Banded Bracers]], [[Banded Gorget]], [[Banded Mantle]], [[Banded Mask]]
** Gorget, followed by Bracers are the cheapest. The others are substantially more expensive.
** If you do 3 Masks, 8 Gorgets, 6 Bracers, 3 Belts, 3 Boots, and 3 Mantles you should get above 90 skill
*** Sheet Metal: 35 total
*** Estimated Cost: 55pp


OLD:
* '''135 to 168:''' [[Banded Mantle]]/[[Banded Leggings]]/[[Banded Gauntlets]]  - (Banded Gauntlets are the cheapest to produce due to the Sheet Metal requirement and Sectional Mold cost, but only become craftable in October 1999 era.)
* '''168 to 175:''' [[Banded Cloak]]

=== ??? ===
The stuff below here is based on out of date trivials and available recipes.

* '''175 to 182:''' [[Small Ornate Chain Mantle]] or [[Ornate Chain Mantle]] or  [[Large Ornate Chain Mantle]] (Made with High Quality Ore that is dropped by goblins in SolA or Permafrost and maybe Runnyeye.  Easiest to farm SolA and takes about 40-55 attempts with a HE Cleric with 198 WIS.  This takes time but may be less time and money than getting materials and beginning Fine Plate before you must.)
* '''175 to 182:''' [[Fine Plate Collar]]
* '''182 to 195:''' [[Fine Plate Visor]]
* '''195 to 208:''' [[Fine Plate Bracer]]
* '''208 to 228:''' [[Fine Plate Girdle]]
* '''228 to 232:''' [[Fine Plate Gauntlets]]
* '''233 to 242:''' [[Fine Splinted Cloak]]

== Skilling up Recommendations ==
The following recommendations are designed to strike a solid balance between saving time and saving money.

=== Basics ===

* Bypass [[Scaler]] in favor of [[Studs]], and then on to [[Skewers]]. This path avoids making multiple trips between merchants for molds <s>and eventually bottles</s> because you only require [[Metal Bits]] and [[Water Flask]] until you hit [[Skewers]] (which still use the supply of bits you will have acquired, as well as a single mold), but will cost a little more. Total cost to get from 1 to 100 skill (only 1 point put into it) using this method was approximately 100 plat (50 CHA, 161 WIS). '''~~NOTE~~''': Studs are trivial at 41, so you still need to do Large Lanterns (or similar i.e. Forged Javelins). Studs are a good stand-in for Scaler, though. 

* You CAN bypass ornate chain armors in favor of fine plate, or alternate between ornate and fine plate visors as you get in supplies for either. Getting your tailoring skills up high enough to make your own leather padding will save lots of money in the long run, and people often have silks and skins to sell-you can also reliable farm your own in newbie zones (There's a decent spot in Eastern Commons near the tunnel to farm spiderlings and random bear/wolf/cat skins for padding while you buy/sell with players). By making your own leather padding and selling your wares to merchants (if you can't find buyers), you will make back most of what you spend. Ornate chain requires more trips between the farming locale and bank/forge, but may be cheaper overall.

=== Banded ===

* For banded armor, if you are continuing from around 115 skill after [[Skewers]], go on with:[[Banded Mask]] or [[Banded Boots]] to 135, [[Banded Gauntlets]] to 168, and [[Banded Cloak]] to 175. That path uses the fewest [[Sheet Metal]] and cheapest molds. Total cost to get from 113 to 161 using this method cost approximately 130 plat (50 CHA, 161 WIS).

* When working on banded armor, work in [[East Freeport]], [[Toxxulia Forest]], [[Qeynos Hills]], [[Greater Faydark]], or [[East Cabilis]]. These areas have [[Sheet Metal]] pre-made, which reduces your time spent as well as your losses due to sub-combine failure. I suggest Greater Faydark or East Freeport for most people. Trolls, Ogres, and Dark Elves have nowhere to buy it and must make their own.'''

=== Ornate Chain (Mantle, Boots, or Gloves) ===
* Banded covers you to 175 but there is a path to go from 175 -182 where you can make Ornate Chain.  

* It takes about 40-55 attempts with a HE Cleric having 198 WIS to go from 175 to 182 trivial.

*Ornate Chain is made with an unenchanted silver bar and High Quality Ore dropped by goblins in SolA or Permafrost and maybe Runnyeye. 

* It is easiest to farm SolA. Why SolA? There is a Gnome vendor (if you aren't KOS) in zone you can sell FS weapons and gems that drop off the goblins so you don't have to leave the zone.  If you can do the tricks to sell to the [[Goblin Merchant]] that is an option too.  Often either/both merchants will have HQ ore you can buy if you just want to spend the plat.  This is handy after making good coin selling FS weapons, gems, and jewelry the goblins like to drop.

* This takes time but may be less time and money than getting materials and beginning Fine Plate before you absolutely must do plate.

* 2025 Green, the vendor in Freeport listed to sell the medium sized chain mold patterns does not exist at this time, use a different city. Felwithe and Neriak are good options because they sell patterns and silver bars.

* the HQ ore can frequently be found on merchants in Highkeep, and there is a forge in Highpass Hold just outside of Highkeep and to the left.

* High Quality Rings are not stackable, and 1 large brick of HQ ore turns in to 2 rings, so plan your bag space around this.  A good option is to pre purchase the stackable silver bars and patterns and convert bricks and immediately use the 2 rings to make an attempt at a mantle.

=== Fine Plate ===
* When working on fine plate armor, work in [[Highkeep]], or [[Qeynos]]. These are the only three cities where both the molds, AND the medium quality ores can be bought for 20pp each.
* Folded MQ sheets are stackable
* 2025 Green, get stacks and stacks and stacks of spiderling silks and make stacks and stacks of silk thread.  This is the most difficult part of doing fine steel besides having a couple thousand platinum to hit it hard (which you don't burn through too fast with reselling to vendor what you make, it just takes a good chunk of plat to start with).
* Once you have stacks and stacks and stacks (12-20 stacks) of [[Silk Thread]] made from spiderling silks take a [[Large Sewing Kit]], a [[Skinning Knife]], and all your stacks of silk thread to [[Stonebrunt Mountains]] to farm cat pelts.  The leopards almost always drop a LQ or MQ cat pelt.  You need the skinning knife to down grade MQ pelts to LQ.  Out of 200 pelts I just farmed I received 5 HQ pelts so don't expect many HQ if needing for other purposes.  As you get a pelt immediately turn it into stackable [[Leather Padding]].  Why do it this way?  Stonebrunt is far from everything and the pelts drop on almost every kill but do not stack.  It is only efficient to go here if you bring everything to convert the pelts into leather padding so you can walk in with stacks of silk thread and walk out with stacks of leather padding for fine plate smithing.

<span>''A note on the velium ores: This ore is a loot drop in Velious only. Common sources for it are: orc miners in crystal caverns, various mobs in Tower of Frozen Shadow (5th floor, especially), sentries and such in Skyshrine, and various spider and golem-type creatures in other zones (Velketor's Labyrinth, underneath Icewell Keep, etc.)''</span>

===  Other Basics ===
Use a [[Smithing Chisel]] to break apart bricks. '''(Green - No longer usable to break down bricks or blocks of velium as of 10/23/2024 patch.)'''

===  Enchanted Components === 

Note: In general, enchanted ore or metals are created by having an enchanter enchant the ore ''before'' forging. Enchanted components are sometimes for Human Cultural.

=== Fine Plate Dyes ===

[[File:Dwarfsmallpalebluefineplatearmor.png|200px|thumb|Small Pale (Light) Blue Fine Plate armor set on female dwarf model]]
[[File:bile_dyes01.png|200px|thumb|Three different dyes on a male troll - pale green breastplate, normal green legs/arms/wrists, and normal yellow helm/gloves/boots.]]

Armor dyes are used on fine steel plate armor only (no other armor will accept a dye). The color of the armor can be changed, while the stats are unmodified. The extracts needed for the dyes are made by either a [[Shaman]] using [[Alchemy]] or a [[Rogue]] using [[Make Poison]]. These extracts are then usable by anyone (no skill check) to be combined into dyes. There is an in game book [[How to Dye and Stain]] that describes part of this.

;The general process involves three steps:

;1. Make the Extract

Extracts can be combined in either an alchemist's [[Medicine Bag]], or in a rogue's [[Mortar and Pestle]] (trivial of 36 for both shaman and rogue). The [[Empty Vial]] needed is sold by the dye supply merchants, and is combined with a water flask and the main extract ingredient. While this step can be done by anyone, for a higher success rate it is better to have a shaman or a rogue perform this combine.

;2. Make the Dye

Can be made by anyone (no-fail), using the above extracts, and combining them in a [[Medium Clay Jar]] with some [[Resin]] (made by [[pottery]], this is a combineable container. You lose the jar on combine)

* dark color  - [[resin]] x1, extract x1.  (e.g. [[Dark Green Dye]])
* base color  - [[resin]] x2, extract x1.  (e.g. [[Green Dye]])
* light color - [[resin]] x3, extract x1.  (e.g. [[Light Green Dye]])

;3. Dye the Armor

Take a completed piece of fine steel plate armor, place it in the forge along with 1 dye, 1 [[Jar of Acid]], 1 [[Jar of Lacquer]] and hit combine. Once dyed, the color cannot be removed. You CAN fail on this part of the process (it's a skill check versus your smithing skill), read your combine message carefully. On a failure, the armor will be returned to you, undyed, and you lose the dye, lacquer and acid.

== Cultural Smithing ==

Cultural smithing involves several sets of armor unique to each race. This includes the use of tempers, imbued gems, and [[Forge|cultural forges (see for locations)]].

All cultural armor requires smithing by the race listed, and must be forged within the race-specific forge located in their home city.

''Note: [[Erudite]]s and [[Halfling]]s do not have any cultural smithing armor sets since they are instead [[Tailoring|cultural tailoring]] races. [[Wood Elf]]s have smithed weapons, though their primary cultural tradeskills are [[tailoring]] and [[fletching]]. [[Half-Elves]] do not have any unique cultural tradeskills for their race, though they can use some of the items made by others.''

'''Imbued Gems:''' Are converted from normal gems by an "Imbue Gem" spell. Each imbued gem gives different bonuses to the resulting armor, and restricts it to a particular deity. Healers (cleric, druid, shaman) can call down the blessing of their deity upon a gem with the use of a level 29 spell. (For Solusek Ro, it is a wizard spell.) Each healer can only scribe and cast the imbue spell for the gem specific to their deity, after which a tradesperson can use the imbued gem in crafting deity-specific items. (The tradesperson does not need to worship a specific deity in order to craft items for that deity.)

== Finding Materials ==

Most blacksmithing materials can be purchased from vendors, but a few require killing stuff.

=== Fine Plate: Leather Padding === 

Leather Paddings are one of the most frustrating aspects of mastering blacksmithing: they require farming several different items ''and'' doing multiple combines, just to produce a single padding ... and they're not even Blacksmithing combines (they're [[Tailoring]])!

Fortunately, there are a few key locations in Norath that can at least make the farming part easier.

==== Leather Padding: Spiderling Silk ====

By far the best place to collect {{:Spiderling Silk}} is the [[Field of Bone]].  Other newbie zones might have a few spiderlings to kill, but Field of Bone features a "secret" crypt full of colorfully named ones (eg. [[A bonebinder]]), perhaps twenty in total.

Field of Bone can be easily reached by heading west from the zone-in location in [[Emerald Jungle]].  Once in the zone the crypt entrance is on the opposite side, at {{Loc | Field of Bone| 210, 2500}}.

Because it's a newbie zone, the respawn timer is short, only 6:40.  This means that after you finish clearing the crypt, you have just enough time to buff a few newbies or take a bathroom break, before the whole place respawns again.

==== Leather Padding: Low Quality Pelts ====

By far the best place to farm pelts is [[Stonebrunt Mountains]].  Elsewhere in Norath animals only drop pelts infrequently, and many are ruined.  In Stonebrunt though the leopards almost always have a drop, it's never ruined, and usually it's a pelt (≈20% have a skin instead).  You can easily spend an evening here and grind out 200 pelt drops for making leather padding.

Unfortunately, many of the pelts you get won't be low quality, but you can easily fix that by combining them with a [[Skinning Knife]].

'''Also, bring your stacks of [[Silk Thread]] with you so you can convert the unstackable pelts directly into stackable [[Leather Padding]]!!!!  Stonebrunt is way out of the way so this is the only efficient way to make the trips here count.'''

There are two main areas to hunt.  

'''First Path'''
The best technique is to go from the zone entrance to the First red X location just running straight out along the ground that looks like jungle until you start getting towards the sea, they wont spawn by the sea.
This is (roughly {{Loc | Stonebrunt Mountains| -4000, -500}}), and it contains approximately ten+ leopards and they like to bunch up so searching is not difficult.  There are also kobolds, wisps, and snakes in the valley, but they're all low level and shouldn't bother you.  Being a high level pet class makes this very easy.

'''Second Path'''
From the zone entrance travel north along the left zone wall into the mountains where the ground turns forest like and you see snow covered trees all the way to roughly {{Loc | Stonebrunt Mountains| 200, 2600}}. You'll find leopards all along this area in the trees and then again when when the ground changes to rock.  At least a similar number leopards or more that also like to path together.  There are slightly higher level mobs here, but again nothing to worry about unless you are low level. Again being a high level pet class makes this a cake walk to kill it all

'''Additional Areas'''
After the first 2 pathing areas you can run all around the rock colored floor areas to the other side of the zone and see tigers and more leopards.  The tigers are higher level and fewer of them.  But you can easily just run from leopard to leopard in the rocky areas of the zone and then just back track the first pathing area or second pathing area.  This zone is filled to the brim with leopards and again you can grind out 200 pelt drops in an evening if you want.

'''There is no need to be a tracking class''' with the high number of leopards in this zone but [[Tracking]] (especially from a Ranger) is highly recommended if you want to really have nonstop killing, but non-trackers will still find plenty leopards just by wandering around; they spawn together and are packed fairly densely.

== Of Smithing and Grime and Sweat... ==

''by Janus Xanathis, Necrobane (Tunare server) ([http://web.archive.org/web/20001206083900/http://www.eqtraders.com/ Dec 2000])''

There are books you can read, and other documents to view that can tell you HOW to use the skill of the hammer and the forge. I am not going to do that today. What I am going to do is tell you WHAT to make when your body is layered in sweat and grime, and the smoke of the bellows is against your face. If you follow this plan, you shall have the skill to create the armor that everyone wants, in only as long as your gold holds true. For once you start selling the armor... gold is not something you need to want for again.

First off, let me tell you this. To walk on the road to become a master of this skill requires much time, and a greater amount of gold. Unlike skills such as baking, or jewelcraft, in which you can start to recoup some of your gold loss at a lower skill, you cannot do that with the hammer and the forge. How many people do you know of walking around town shouting for skewers, or metal bits? Exactly.

But as I said above, once you get the skill to start creating the banded armor that sells so well, you will start to gain your gold back, and you shall get many an order for more. With that said, what is the quickest road to gaining the skill to become an armor-smith, you ask? Well, I shall tell you. The easiest jump, on the road to creating glorious armor, is to save up your trainings for four levels. Once you have all twenty trainings, dump them all into Smithing. Since you won't have the skill to kill the monsters that have the loot that you can sell for the amount of gold you'll need... until you are in the low teens... saving up the trainings shouldn't be a problem. But, if for some reason, you need all of your trainings, there are other ways to get to the twentieth level of skill. Two to be exact.

You '''sharpen rusty weapons''' that are taken from the dead hands of monsters that hold them... or you make the '''metal bits''' that are needed for some of the later items. I don't want to replace the part of the book, but, some basics to know when you are doing anything with the forge. NEVER stack anything in it. If it calls for multiples of something that stacks, put them in different slots. The last item you will always be placing in the forge, is a flask of water. Hunting down madmen in the desert of Ro is a good way to gain the huge amounts of water that you will need for this skill. Whether you are making metal bits, or a banded helm... each step of the way has a single flask of water as the last item to place in the forge.

Also, not matter if you succeed, or fail, when you are using the forge ... All items you place in it will be lost. If you succeeded, you will have the item you were creating. If you failed, you have nothing, but some more skill on the road to becoming a hammer master. Once you have been ranked as having a skill of the twentieth level, you will see the message that making the metal bits, or sharpening the weapons is beneath you. It's quite uppity to tell you this, but what it means is that you will gain no more learning from doing these tasks. So, you now switch over to making a different item....

'''A metal sheet.'''

But can't you buy those, you ask? Why yes, you can, and they are about the same price, if not lower, to buy then they are to make. So when you are making the more difficult items that require the sheets to make, simply buy the sheets, that way you don't have to worry about the random failure in making them. BUT... they are the easiest thing to make to get you up the ladder of skill at this point. Making metal sheets will get you to rank fifty in smithy. Again, you will fail, more then you succeed at first... and you will make a LOT of sheets by the time you get to fifty. But a good note is that you can sell them back to the vendors that you are buying the parts that you need to make them from. You won't get back all of your money... maybe half... maybe three quarters... but it's still something back. Once you get to the level in which the metal sheets are gaining you no skill... what should you make next?

'''Banded Armor?'''

Sadly... not yet. You can try... and you will fail... greatly. And you may be able to make a piece every twenty or thirty tries. But your learning will not go up that fast, and the money you will loose will be insane. So, stick to simpler items, such as Large Lanterns.

If you are at 68... NOW are you going to try to make the banded armor? Aye. You can.

I, so far, have been able to make five banded helms, and two banded shirts. The shirts I did at with my skill of eighty. Two tries per shirt. I know I was lucky to only have a single failure per item. But it goes to show you that having the patience to walk the long road will pay off. With the going rate being about forty plat for a shirt, if not more... You can see that even with a few failures per item, you will be making your gold back, and more. Don't just worry about getting to the skill to make banded, and stopping there. There are rumors around that smiths shall soon have the ability to start to make plate, or a type of plate armor. I have also heard that you are going to need a skill up around one hundred and thirty, if not more, if you want to pull this off.

All I can say is... start making your banded wares... and continue to make them. Also... out of any of the skills... none are as physically rewarding as this one. Having spent hours over the hot coals, pounding away with your hammer... and creating an item that will help save someone from those extra slices and blows... is also a very good feeling to have. Of course, so is feeling the weight of your purse after you just sold off a full suit to someone.
