Techniques

Basic Metal Smelting

The concepts of Basic Metal Smelting reduce the difficulty of mixing metals in the crucible.

Proficient Metal Refining

Learning Proficient Metal Refining will reduce material losses sustained in the refining process, from 50% to 20%.

Expert Metal Reclaimation

The technique of Expert Metal Reclamation shall increase yields from smelting down forged goods.

Master Metallurgy

As a Master of Metallurgy, you work around metal impurities and produce higher quality products as a result.

Basic Tool Repair

Those trained in Basic Tool Repair will find a substantial increase to the amount by which they can repair items.

Advanced Tool Repair

Advanced Tool repair not only allows a Blacksmith to repair items, but also to guard them against damage for some time.

Tool Tempering

Applying the technique of Tool Tempering allows a greater increase in tool durability.

Proper Forging Tool Care

Proper Forging Tool Care teaches the blacksmith how to guard a tool against premature wear. Knowledge of this technique will reduce chance for tools taking damage, and totally prevent damage on newly repaired tools for several anlaen of use.

Basic Forging Tool Design

Tools commonly used in the Forge can be created with ease once you know the Basic Forging Design principles.

Proficient Forging Tool Design

The Proficient Forging Design makes the process of forging secondary tools used in the forging process much easier.

Basic Engineering Tool Design

Proficient Engineering Tool Design

Basic Outfitting Tool Design

Proficient Outfitting Tool Design

Basic Alchemy Tool Design

Proficient Alchemy Tool Design

Expert Tool Design

Requires all basic and proficient tool design techniques.

Some rare tools can be used across two disciplines, and those designs are made easier when you know about Expert Tool Design.

Master Tool Design

Exotic tools that double as weapons, or that can perform across multiple disciplines are taught with Master Tool Design.

Utility Forging

Forged goods that serve a wide range of utility purposes are made easier by knowing the Utility Forging technique.

Decorative Forging

Designing worn forged goods becomes easier when taught the Decorative Forging technique.

Furniture Forging

Learning the Furniture Forging technique improves your ability with making items for the home.

Container Forging

Advanced knowledge of forging containers will bonus your ability to make them.

Maker Mark Design

Tools for marking crafted works become easier to create with knowledge of the Maker Mark Design technique.
