'''Forging''' allows an individual to use [[commodities]] to craft [[armour]], shields, and [[weapons|weaponry]], and it is available to those of the three knight [[:category:classes|classes]]: [[Paladin]], [[Infernal]], and [[Runewarden]].
:''The skill of Forging has been replaced with the skills of [[Weaponsmithing]] and [[Armoursmithing]].''


To begin the forging of a new item, a vacant forge must first be located, and these can be found in all major [[city|cities]], as well as a few [[:category:villages|villages]]. A single piece of coal must be placed in the forge and lit in order to generate enough heat for crafting. The necessary commodities must then be placed into the forge before crafting can begin. Forging proceeds in two stages. First, the mass of commodities is formed into a crude weapon, shield, or set of armour; the second step is then refinement of the crude item. All forged items of the same type possess equivalent statistics prior to refinement. Each refinement will randomly increase one statistic until the item has been fully crafted, at which point no further refinement is possible.

Use of the [[Hammer of Forging]] [[artefact]] allows a smith to create fully crafted items with fewer refinement steps and with greater potential for above-average statistics.

===[[:Category:Abilities|Abilities]] in Forging===
The '''Forging''' skill was available to to members of the three knight classes: [[Infernal]], [[Paladin]], and [[Runewarden]]. With the advent of trade skills forging was split into [[Weaponsmithing]] and [[Armoursmithing]] and knights gained the new skill of [[Weaponmastery]].
