Blacksmiths
Blacksmiths are locations found at various islands. To see which islands have a Blacksmith, check the POI section for each island in the Island Guide.
Blacksmiths have a Forge Block that is interactive. Every Forge has 5 functions: Upgrade, Repair, Salvage, Roll, and Construct. The Mythical Forge found at the Black Market adds a 6th function for Runes.
Upgrading
To upgrade gear, you need Belly, Damage Dealt/Received, and the Required Orb. The interface shows exact requirements when you place an item inside.
- Regular Forge: upgrades up to Legendary Tier
- Mythical Forge: upgrades up to Mythical Tier
See detailed requirements:
Repairing
Costs 1 Belly per 10 durability (rounds up). Gear never breaks so at zero durability it simply stops working (weapons deal 0 damage, armor provides 0 protection).
- Regular Forge: 1 Belly for every 10 durability
- Mythical Forge: 1 Belly for every 20 durability (half cost)
See detailed durability tables:
Salvaging
Payout is based on Tier, Remaining Durability, and Damage Dealt/Received. Each durability point below max subtracts 1 Belly. Each 100 Damage Dealt/Received adds 1 Belly.
| Gear Tier | Forge Payout | Mythical Forge Payout (×1.2) |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 100 Belly | 120 Belly |
| Uncommon | 500 Belly | 600 Belly |
| Rare | 2,000 Belly | 2,500 Belly |
| Epic | 10,000 Belly | 12,000 Belly |
| Legendary | 50,000 Belly | 60,000 Belly |
| Mythical | 250,000 Belly | 300,000 Belly |
Rolling
Insert an orb to roll for a random gear piece of the matching tier. Skin Orbs will give you an Armorer's workshop skin to drip out your character.
- Regular Forge: Common Orbs and Skin Orbs only
- Mythical Forge: Any orb tier for gear of that tier
Constructing
Combine shards into orbs of the same tier, or orbs into a higher tier orb. Skin Shards can only make Skin Orbs.
| Orb | Forge Shards | Forge Orbs | Mythical Forge Shards | Mythical Forge Orbs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 10 Common | — | 8 Common | — |
| Uncommon | 10 Uncommon | 5 Common | 8 Uncommon | 4 Common |
| Rare | 10 Rare | 5 Uncommon | 8 Rare | 4 Uncommon |
| Epic | 10 Epic | 5 Rare | 8 Epic | 4 Rare |
| Legendary | 10 Legendary | 5 Epic | 8 Legendary | 4 Epic |

Runes
Runes are Mythical-Tier set bonuses that can be purchased on the Black Market and applied to Mythical armor pieces. Each rune adds an extra set bonus, for up to 5 total bonuses (1 original + 4 runes on each individual armor piece). See the Set Bonus Page for available bonuses. The restrictions for runes are below:
- Mythical Set Required: Must have at least 3 Mythical armor pieces equipped to your character to apply a rune.
- No Duplicate Bonus: Can't apply a rune matching the armor's base set bonus.
- No Duplicate Runes: Can't equip two armor pieces with the same rune bonus.
- Unique Set: All 4 rune bonuses and the original set bonus must be different.
