Crafting weapons is a very detailed process that requires items produced by Wood Crafting, Mining, Smelting and Tinkering. The base items that all weapons require are ingots and a casing mold (these come in small, medium and large sizes). Some weapons also require wood shafts. The player must have a Smiths Hammer equipped in order to use the Weapon Crafting Anvil. To create a weapon, place the required recipe items into the anvil’s inventory. If successful, the selected weapon will be placed in the player’s inventory. If unsuccessful, the items will be destroyed, however some amount of “mangled” metal may be returned to you. Weapons and mangled metals can be recycled at the Ingot Recycler to obtain a portion of the recipe’s base ingot back.

There are also two additional things a weapon crafter can create. These are Silver Coated Weapons that do increased damage against undead foes and Titanium Tipped weapons, which do +2 damage. Silver coated weapons are made by coating a bronze weapon with silver using the Silver Coating Brazier. Enchanted silver ingots, holy water and the bronze weapon are placed in the device. If successful, a silver coated weapon will be placed in the player’s inventory. If unsuccessful, the items will be destroyed and some amount of mangled bronze may be placed in the player’s inventory. Titanium tipped weapons are made by coating an iron weapon with titanium using the Titanium Tipping Brazier. Enchanted titanium ingots, essence of power and the iron weapon are placed in the device. If successful, a titanium tipped weapon will be placed in the player’s inventory. If unsuccessful, the items will be destroyed and mangled iron may be placed in the player’s inventory.

Strength (70%) and Dexterity (30%) are key abilities for Weapon Crafting.
