Crafting
Anyone can mine ore and turn it into their own weapons and armour. Crafted gear can come out better than anything the Blacksmith sells, and the best pieces match or beat the Dark Knight set. Here is how it works, start to finish.
- Purer bars, better gear. High-purity bars give high completion.
- A failed try costs nothing. Your materials are only used when it works.
- Skill rises 3× faster than other skills on this server.
- Materials weigh nothing. Carry as much ore as your bag holds.
What completion means
Every crafted piece shows a Completion from 0% to 200% when you hover over it. 100% is exactly the same as the normal item. Above 100% it is stronger; below 100% it is weaker.
Armour and helms
Defence and Absorption both go up by half of what is over 100%. A 150% piece has 1.25× the stats, a 200% piece 1.5×. Durability goes up too, up to double.
Weapons
Above 100% you hit more often (up to much more at 200%) and your weakest hits do more damage. Below 100% you miss more.
Small differences from 100% often change nothing, because the game rounds stats down. An 86% Chain Hose works exactly like a normal one.
Is it worth it?
Move the slider to see how a crafted piece compares with the Blacksmith's best and the Dark Knight set. Longer bars are better.
Recipes
What each item needs, the Manufacturing skill to make it, and how pure your bars and coal must be. gold border = sets the quality, dashed = lowers it a little, plain = just needed.
"Purity for 100%" assumes all your bars and coal have about the same purity and your Manufacturing skill is at least that high. Bars purer than your skill count for less.
Materials
Where to mine
Aresden Dungeon, Elvine Dungeon and the Middleland Dungeon have veins with every kind of ore:
Dungeon L2 and the Middleland Mine have a mix of all vein types, including crystal veins with a small chance of Sapphire, Emerald and Ruby. Higher Mining skill means more successful hits.
Ore, bars and coal
Bar purity
The purity of a bar or coal you smelt comes from your Manufacturing skill: anywhere from half your skill up to your full skill, never above 100%. At skill 100 your bars land between 50% and 100%. Ore you mine has no purity; it is just needed.
Tips
- Keep your purest bars for the items you will actually wear. Use the low ones to train skill on cheap recipes.
- Your skill only rises from recipes that are still a challenge. Each recipe card shows the skill where it stops teaching you.
- Leathers and claws (Orc Leather, Werewolf Leather, Cyclops Hand Edge) are dropped by monsters. Check the drop guide.
- Coming out under 100% is not wasted: sell it, or keep it until you make a better one.
