Smithing

Smithing is a crafting skill. It makes bars from the ore Mining brings in, and from the bars it makes tools, weapons, armour and building parts like nails. Many tools and weapons also need a wooden handle from Carpentry. Tools make other skills faster. Construction uses bars and parts, and several places need bars to be rebuilt.

How to train

Start with Forge copper gloves or Smelt copper bar at level 1. New activities open as you level up: see the table below.
132 of the 149 activities can only be done at Broken forge, once it is rebuilt.
1 of the 149 activities opens after your first win in Clear the flooded cellars.
1 of the 149 activities can only be done at the looted arsenal, once it is rebuilt.
Tool: Crucible (+15% speed, made with Smithing). Better ones: Iron tongs (+20%), Cobalt hammer (+30%).
Potion: Smith's potion (10% chance to spare materials, made with Medicine).

"Sells for" is what one action's items sell for, at the level the activity opens, before bonuses. Every skill uses the same XP table: see Levels and XP.

Mastery

Each of the 149 Smithing activities has a mastery level of its own, from 1 to 99. Every completed action gives that activity mastery XP, and higher mastery makes the activity better (table below).

A quarter of that mastery XP (half once Smithing is level 99) also goes into the Smithing mastery pool, which holds up to 74,500,000 XP. You can spend pool XP on any Smithing activity: 1 pool XP gives 1 mastery XP. See Mastery for the exact numbers.

Each activity's own mastery

Activity mastery	Adds to that activity
10	+5% chance to spare materials (or arrows)
20	+5 points high-quality chance
30	+5% chance to spare materials (or arrows)
40	+5 points high-quality chance
50	+5% chance to spare materials (or arrows)
60	+5 points high-quality chance
70	+5% chance to spare materials (or arrows)
80	+5 points high-quality chance
90	+5% chance to spare materials (or arrows)
99	+10% sell price on the items it makes, +10% chance to spare materials (or arrows)

Pool checkpoints

While the pool is filled to a checkpoint or above, its bonus counts for every Smithing activity. If you spend the pool below a checkpoint, that bonus stops until the pool fills up again.

Pool filled	Pool XP	Adds to every activity of the skill
10%	7,450,000	+5% mastery XP
25%	18,625,000	+10% XP
50%	37,250,000	+5% speed
95%	70,775,000	+10% chance to spare materials (or arrows)

Gear for this skill

Forge gauntlets — +8 points high-quality chance, 10% chance to spare materials
Counting charm — +10% XP
Crucible — +15% speed
Beryl clasp — +5 points high-quality chance
Smith's apron — +6 points high-quality chance
The king's measure — +5 points high-quality chance
