Blacksmithing Compendium
The art of the forge: weapons, plate armor, colored ingots, exceptional craft formulas, repair, and Bulk Order Deeds.

Blacksmithing

Jump to Section:

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 Mining.
  • Smelting raw ore at a forge converts ore into ingots. Double-click ore, target the forge, and retrieve your ingots.

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:

Metal Type Mining Skill Full Plate AR AR Bonus Durability Bonus
Iron 0.0 46 AR Baseline Baseline
Dull Copper 65.0 48 AR +2 AR +50 Durability
Shadow Iron 70.0 49 AR +3 AR +100 Durability
Copper 75.0 50 AR +4 AR +150 Durability
Bronze 80.0 51 AR +5 AR +200 Durability
Gold 85.0 52 AR +6 AR +250 Durability
Agapite 90.0 53 AR +7 AR +300 Durability
Verite 95.0 54 AR +8 AR +350 Durability
Valorite 99.0 55 AR +9 AR +400 Durability

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]`.

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!

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)!
