### How to Level Up Crafting Players earn Crafting experience by successfully crafting items. Higher skill levels unlock access to more advanced recipes and improve crafting options. ### How Crafting Works * To craft, players must click on a workstation - Forge, Anvil (needs Hammer to operate) or Sawmill. * The Crafting UI shows recipes available at that workstation. Selecting a recipe displays the required materials and skill level. * If all materials and skill requirements are met, crafting can begin. Crafting consumes materials and awards experience. #### Crafting Categories & Workstations * **Forge:** Used to smelt ores into ingots, necessary for many recipes. * **Anvil:** Used to craft weapons, armor, and tools. * **Sawmill:** Processes wood logs into crafting materials. #### Smelting Smelting converts ores from Mining into usable ingots at the Furnace. Players select how many to smelt, and materials are consumed once the smelting animation finishes. #### Materials Materials include ores, wood logs, and processed components. Different wood types can be processed into rods, planks, and trunks at the Sawmill.

#### Craftable Items * **Armor:** Craft wearable armor sets that provide combat stats. * **Weapons:** Craft hand and off-hand weapons with damage stats. * **Tools:** Craft gathering tools like pickaxes and hammers needed for other skills.

#### Crafting Tools A Hammer is required for crafting at the Anvil and must be in the player’s inventory or equipped. Players can acquire Hammer during Crooked, But Standing quest.
