Weaponsmith

Weaponsmithing is all about skilfully crafting metal into the various weapons of war. It is brother to the Armourer skill and related to Tinkering.

Overview

Crafting and repairing metal weapons is performed with a smiths hammer on an anvil with smelted ingots and, occasionally poles and leather.

Raw Materials

Smelting Ingots

Ingots can be smelted from ore by a miner / metallurgist who are also required to dig the ore out of a mountain.

Types of Ingots

There are seven types of metal ingots that can all be smelted by a miner / metallurgist and smithed into weapons:

• ordinary
• copper
• silver
• gold
• vampyric
• venomous
• blackrock

How to make tinted Ingots

Venomous, vampyric and blackrock ingots are made by alchemically treating the raw ore with various ingredients before it gets smelted into ingots. More on treating and alchemy here.

Poles

Poles are made by woodcrafters from logs. They are used in the manufacture of a few weapons that have long wooden shafts, such as spears and halberds.

Leather

Leather is used for a handful of the unarmed class weapons. Sheets of leather can be purchased from the Tailor.

Crafting Items

Use (u) a smiths hammer on an anvil to craft items from available ingots in your inventory. Use a tinted smiths hammer on an anvil to craft tinted items. There is a skill premium required to craft tinted items.

Weaponsmithing can be used to make metal weapons like swords, axes and maces from ingots as well as combined metal and wood items like halberds and spears from ingots and poles and combined metal and leather items like the 'unarmed' neko do.

Weaponsmiths, as well as Armourers? can also make sheets of silver and brass?. Skill requirement is 35% for silver.

Item List

Here is a list of items that can be made from ordinary ingots (plus extras, if required) along with their minimum skill requrements. Weapons made of tinted ingots require a higher skill to manufacture:

How to create tinted smiths hammers

All of the tinted smiths hammers are made by tinkers from a regular ingot and a pole, tinted ingots are not required.

Repairing Metal Weapons

Drop your weapon on an anvil and (shift+u) a smiths hammer of the appropriate type or tint on the item. Artifacts that are weapons can also be repaired in this way.
