Smithing adds damage, defense, or skill bonuses to equipment.
You will need:
- A stone anvil (400 stone, 10 silver).
- Any kind of mallet or hammer.
- The correct gems for the enchant you want.
- And the item to be enchanted.
Hit the item and gems on an anvil with with a hammer to enchant it.
- The type of enchant depends on the types of gems used.
- The strength of the enchant depends on the number of gems used.
- Items with multiple enchants can be destroyed by smithing.
- Repeating an enchant will replace the old one even if it's weaker.
Obtaining Gems
Some monsters drop specific gems, but most are from mining in the Underworld. Gems can also be found in chests.
Break Chance
If there are multiple enchants on an item there is a chance that it will break during the smithing process. The chance is reduced with a higher smithing level. The item's chance to break is displayed when you begin the enchanting process, and only applied when the enchant is completed. Broken items are destroyed, but the gems being used will remain.
Smithing Experience
Smithing experience is gained by attempts (hammer swings) rather than from finishing enchants. This means you can remove and replace the same enchant repeatedly before it completes to grind smithing experience indefinitely. The percent of an enchant completed per swing depends on how many gems are being used, and your smithing level.
The least you can complete per swing is 5%, and each swing gives 15 smithing experience before bonuses. The process can also "fail" up to a certain level, resetting to 0% complete (no materials are lost). To maintain a 5% completion rate per swing (to get the most experience between manual resets) you will have to increase the gems you use as you level:
