Description:
Blacksmithing is used to create or repair various types of weapons and armor. These items or services can be used for yourself, or can be sold to other players.

Crafting an item:
You must be near a forge to create or repair an item. Double clicking on the tongs or smiths hammer will bring up a window displaying the different types of items you can make depending on your skill level. Simply double-click on the category you desire, double-click the item you wish to make, target the ingots you wish to use, and if you are successful the item will appear in your pack. As your skill level increases, the number and types of items available to you will increase.

Repairing an item:
You can also repair items with the blacksmithy skill. Again double-click on the tongs or hammer and select the anvil in this menu. Then place the targeting cursor over the item you wish to repair. Click on the item and if you are successful the item will be repaired. Keep in mind that a failed attempt can damage the item further.

Exceptional items and colored ore:
A Grand Master Smith has the chance to make 'Exceptional' items. These items will be more 'powerful' in their respective uses, and will carry a 'makers mark' to identify the smith that crafted the item. There are various types of ore in the world including the more rarely found colored ore. The colored ore requires a higher level of skill to be able to mine, smelt, and smith. Mining and smelting this colored ore requires a higher level of skill in mining, and crafting the colored ore requires a higher level of blacksmithy skill. The skill level required varies directly with the rarity of the ore. (please see the mining skill section for additional information on colored ore)
