      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Smithing skill

7 posts in this topic

I had some questions about smithing skill and how/when it affects items, especially tools.

 

It is said that smithing skill increases the durability of tools. It is however not stated that you only start to get durability increase for tools at certain points. I have a tool smithing skill of 400 and currently the only tools that get a durability increase (to my knowledge) are chisels, hammers and shovels. I also gain durability increase on knives. My 400 skill translates into 83.9% on the anvil.

 

I still don't get durability increase (afaik) on axes, saws, (prospecter's) picks and scythes. I assume that those should start getting durability increase somewhere between 83.9% and 100%. The thing is, I made 100 bronze tools to go from 80.6 to 83.6%. Clearly, the percentage increase you get per smithed tool is not linear. Now imagine if 100% is needed for durability increase on pickaxes (the main reason I'm leveling my tool smithing), that would be a TON more tools that you need to make. Does anyone have similar experiences like me? On what tools do you get durability increase and at what smithing skill?

 

What does general smithing skill actually do? Does it somehow influence your other smithing skill lvls? Because somehow I have 70+% weapon smithing skill (tested with javelin), even though I have like 2 weapon smithing skill. I also have a red steel knife with 20k+ durability which apparently goes of the weapon smithing %.

 

If you know an answer to my questions, please do reply. If you have some other question related to what smithing skill actually does, please ask.

 

P.S.: In case this is relevant, I have 645 general smithing skill.

I had a similar question, the answer was skills were only added in B78, no guarantee of it working correctly.

As far as I remember, (and yes, knives are weapons) general smithing is increased by any smithing that you do. The idea is that if all you do is make weapons, you're not going to be absolute shit at making armor (you certainly know your way around an anvil) but you're still inexperienced with armor making itself. The general smithing skill represents the skills transferable between different types of blacksmithing.

Like Commiellama said, the skill system was only just added in 78, and is still pretty buggy. We'll be going through it for the next few versions to make sure that everything is working as intended, because as it currently stands, there are a lot of weird bugs.

So I should no longer bother trying to get my smithing skill up in order to get durability increase on pickaxes because you can't get durability increase on them atm? or can you?

 

I've been debating leveling up my smithing skill in creative just to see, but it's still a lot of work :P.

The answer to your question is simply "We don't know." in regards to Build 78. We'll look into it a bit more in Build 79, and then we will have complete answers for these questions.
