<span id="tools"></span>
== Tools & Smelting ==
To forge equipment, a blacksmith must stand within range of an '''Anvil''' and '''Forge''', wielding a '''Smith's Hammer''' or '''Sledgehammer''' (crafted via Tinkering).

=== Raw Materials ===
* '''Iron Ore''': Harvested through [[Resource Gathering#Mining|Mining]].
* Smelting raw ore at a forge converts ore into ingots. Double-click ore, target the forge, and retrieve your ingots.

<span id="ore_tiers"></span>
== Colored Ore Tiers & Armor Ratings ==
In addition to basic Iron, Britannia features eight colored ores. Each metal grants increased Armor Rating (AR) to protective plate and shields, and extra durability to weapons:

|}

<span id="exceptional"></span>
== Exceptional Quality & Arms Lore ==
When your blacksmithing skill is high, items have a chance to be crafted with '''Exceptional Quality''':
* '''Exceptional Armor''': Grants a flat '''+4 AR bonus''' across the board. An exceptional Iron Platemail tunic surpasses standard Agapite plate!
* '''Exceptional Weapons''': Grants a flat '''+4 damage bonus''' to minimum and maximum damage ranges.
* '''The Arms Lore Synergy''': For every 20 points of Arms Lore your character possesses, you gain a passive bonus to your chance of crafting exceptional items (+5% at Grandmaster Arms Lore).
* '''Maker's Mark''': Grandmaster smiths stamp their items with: `[Item Name] crafted by [Your Name]`.

<span id="repair"></span>
== Equipment Repair & Durability ==
Combat slowly degrades weapon and armor durability:
* To repair gear, double-click a smith hammer and target the damaged item.
* Repairing an item permanently reduces its maximum durability by 1 point (unless repaired by a grandmaster smith with high skill, which minimizes loss).
* '''Powder of Fortifying''': Obtained through Bulk Order Deeds, this rare powder can be applied to weapons and armor to restore maximum durability up to a cap of 255!

<span id="bods"></span>
== Bulk Order Deeds & Runic Hammers ==
Grandmaster smiths can obtain Bulk Order Deeds (BODs) from NPC blacksmiths:
* Fill orders for specific quantities of armor or weapons (e.g. 20 Exceptional Valorite Plate Tunics).
* Turn in completed deeds to receive gold, fame, and prestigious rewards including colored anvils, gargoyle pickaxes, powder of fortifying, and legendary '''Runic Hammers'''!
* Equipment crafted with Runic Hammers inherits powerful magical item bonuses (Ruin, Might, Force, Power, Vanquishing)!
