Blacksmithing (Crafting) | Kingdoms of Amalur Wiki

In order to craft Weapons and Armor, players need to spend points on the Blacksmithing Skill, the higher the skill level, the more components the player can use to forge equipment. With each new Component unlocked, another attribute can be added to a Weapon or Armor piece, limited in application only by one's supplies of Components. Once players have reached level 7 on Blacksmithing, they can also use Gems as components to craft gear, granting a stat boost to forged equipment. Gems can be crafted with Sagecraft.

Players can use up to four Components and one Gem to craft Weapons or Armor. How many Components players can use are related to your Blacksmithing Skill level, the higher the skill, the more Components can be used to craft a single piece of equipment. Components vary depending on the type of equipment you are crafting. For example, crafting an Iron Longsword requires different Components than an Ebony Longbow. Furthermore, you also need to interact with a Blacksmith Forge to use as a Crafting station to create the desire Weapon or Armor.
