Ore to sword

Quarrying with a pickaxe gives ore, a furnace turns ore into bars (that is Forging too), and an anvil with a hammer turns bars into weapons, armour and tools. The better metals are not held back by your Forging level but by their ore: iron needs its own mine, steel coal as well, and so on up.

1. Mine the ore

LevelOreYou need
1Clay Any pickaxe
1Coal Any pickaxe
1Copper ore Any pickaxe
1Iron ore Any pickaxe
1Rough stone Any pickaxe

20Silver ore Any pickaxe
30Blue ore Any pickaxe
40Gold ore Any pickaxe
45Green ore Any pickaxe
60Cyan ore Any pickaxe

2. Smelt it at a furnace

3. Forge it on an anvil

Take a hammer. Every metal makes the same things, each for the same number of bars. In bronze:

What a metal's weapons ask is Precision, and its armour Block, at the level in the last column:

Tree to bow

Forestry with an axe gives logs. A knife carves them into arrow shafts and bows (Bowcraft); a bow needs a bowstring, spun from flax. Logs also make a fire (Kindling), for cooking in the wild.

1. Fell the trees

Sea to supper

Angling needs the right tool for the water and sometimes bait. Raw fish is cooked on a fire or a range (Cookery), and cooked fish heals you. A cook below the level in the last column burns some.
