Blacksmith Guide (Level 100)

additional stats from equipment will not increase the potential you can get from the skill "create equipment"
equipment with dex stats however, increases your difficulty but still no increase in potential.

 

Thanks! I think this should be emphasized

 

create mage with full int, take wall to 10, go to gobs till you got lv 25, go to shellmask and collect bnut and nisel, take quest bnut and nisel, do this till you reach lv 50, go to zoktzada ruin and kill skell with your wall until you got lv 60. Back to shellmask and collect the quest item again untill you can kill shellmask one hit kill or until you reach 70 and take strom skill. And then, create your own Blacksmith. Level it up to 25, and take bnut quest and nisel.
or,
buy nisel wood and bnut

 

are base stats only the way to increase potentials aside from careful creation ofcourse?

 

You can add minus status wich increase potential a bit. Like mp -x% or such.
And you can gambling to add more stat which decrease success rate in adding status, thats why building 2 kind blacksmith being recommended right now
But still... lack of potential. Probably next update

 

This is an excelent guide!! Now i know what to do with bs character.
But i still i don't understand about one thing. The skill tree.
Say, i'd like to create an armor bs. The guide said that i should pick either knuckle or magic skill tree. What does this mean? Should i put my skill points on these skill too, aside from smithing skill?

 

It's just his personal preference on how he blacksmiths. You just have the knuckles skill tree but only put points into blacksmithing and blacksmithing only.

 

Ohh ok now i get it so i should put all the points into the smith skill. Thanks a lot bro.
I already have a mage, reached the cap too. So i'm ready to take on the hardship of blacksmithing hahaha

 

It's a fun and expensive life

 

I've used 50 tech and pure int for staff bs at level 70 and used to be quite successful. Then I went back to low Tech.. And although the pot was much better, the success rate was quite poor. Good guide though ^^

 

You know everyone trying to be the best and stuff but once you cap out your main stat, you're going to have to put points into a new stat. I honestly don't care for equips atm. More worried on trying to still have fun in the game without getting burnt

 

Yeh I want to max INT then put into tech only hehe. And I can't wait for int+dex once we hit 88+ for me mage

 

Str+crit for me then bs stats + tech

 

I only wish for a boost in spinas atm XD cause i've no luck with farming boss xtal.
I actually take things slowy, as soon as my char reached the safe position. Ready to tackle on the next update ^^

 

You saved my "Toram Life" I did'nt know how to increase potential of my blacksmith. Thanks so much

 

Sorry if its kind of a newbie question but what if i create vit bsmith? Does the gear that i have to equip are still dex or do i have to equip dex gears also? I like ur guide but im planning to make vit bs,should this be ok? 196vit 10tech since my max stat is 206. Then equip myself with +vit gears or +dex gears?thanks.

 

where do you get wood and metal mats?

 

You get them by processing items. Here's a example
You farm bitter nut and you feel like turning them into mat points. What you would do is use a skill or go to either black smith or synthesist to process them. The type of mat the item is would be shown at the bottom of its status.

So far there are
Mana
Metal
Wood
Beast
Cloth
Medicine

Bitter nuts would be in the medicine mat pts.
Places to farm wood are shell masks at Nisel moutain, Kijimu at Athema ruins, or Pova ( forgot there location.)
Place to farm metal would be skeletons at the Zokd Ruins ( close enough ) 2 types of mobs in new moon palace. ( will edit it once I find the name of them)
The mats which they represent is also shown once a item is dropped

Wood: log of wood
Cloth: cloth
Metal: a bar of metal
Mana: a purple orb
Beast: claw
Medicine: can be leaf like items or ones in potions

 

Povas are in Longo Canyon

 

sorry for late reply, i've been out of the game for quite some time now, though i can still give you an answer.
i recommended to equip items with dex stats + dex crystals - this is to increase your difficulty level, so you wont need to put so many points in tech; and you don't need to equip items with vit stats, because this wont give you any additional potential. potential is purely based on the characters stats and the careful creation skill.
