Blacksmithy
Contents
Whether sweating over a fiery forge to create a masterpiece or hammering dents and polishing scratches from a favored piece of plate mail, the blacksmith of Britannia is a skilled craftsman who often finds his, or her, services in high demand.
To create an item using the Blacksmithy skill:
- Stand near a forge and anvil (either, alone is insufficient).
- Double-click a smith’s hammer, tongs, or sledgehammer that is located in your backpack.
- A menu will appear displaying the different categories of items you can craft.
- Select a category and click on the button next to the item you wish to craft.
If successful, the crafted item will appear in your backpack. If successful and lucky, the crafted item will be exceptional. A Blacksmith can opt to include his or her maker’s mark on such exceptional items. The crafting menu contains a toggle in the lower right-hand corner to turn the maker’s mark option on or off.

- It takes about five days of non-stop game play and over 100,000 ingots to gain 120 Blacksmithy skill points using this technique, so take a break from time to time. You're not a machine! Items produced during training are smelted, or recycled, into ingots for further training.
- Mining of over 50.0 will help cut costs a lot because it allows you to smelt and mine your own ore.
- A modicum of Tinkering will allow you to craft your own Blacksmithy tools.
