Tongs are a crafting tool used in Blacksmithing, Weaponsmithing, and Armorsmithing.

See Crafting Tools for details.

Creation and Repair

Tongs can be created using forging techniques that fall under the Blacksmithing discipline.

Likewise, their repair falls under the same skills, with standard processes for metal tool repair.

Templates

Tongs use material thermal resistance to derive their effectiveness.

Type Difficulty Weight Durability Cap** Speed Cap**
Store Bought - 40 2 - very delicate 2 - extremely ineffective
straight <metal> tongs 3 - simple 8 x density 9 - average construction 4 - not very effective
curved <metal> tongs 4 - basic 8 x density 6 - somewhat unsound 5 - sort of effective
flat-bladed <metal> tongs 4 - basic 8 x density 7 - appreciably 4 - not very effective
angular <metal> tongs 5 - s. challenging 8 x density 10 - a bit safeguarded 3 - very ineffective
<metal> bolt tongs 6 - challenging 8 x density 12 - quite guarded 2 - extremely ineffective
segmented <metal> tongs 8 - intricate 8 x density ? 2 - extremely ineffective
<metal> box-jaw tongs 9 - difficult 8 x density ? 6 - rather effective
articulated <metal> tongs 10 - very difficult 8 x density ? 6 - rather effective

** = Cap indicates the best possible score that can be reached using normal metals. It should be noted that it is not possible to reach both caps in the same item.
