Iron Forging skill is used to make items out of iron ingots. You can sell the items you make to stores or players.�
To create an iron item you must have a Blacksmith Hammer in your backpack. Double-click on the hammer, and then select the stack of iron ingots you want to work on.�
This brings up a menu of the iron items you have enough material to make (in the stack you selected and any other stacks at the same inventory level), and that you have a high enough level in Iron Forging skill to make.�
The menu is sub-Categorized into weapons, armor, ammunition and tools. The number of iron ingots required is listed for each item. Double-click the item you want to try to create.�
Each item takes a different amount of time and has a different base chance of success. After the requisite time period, you�ll be told whether you�ve successfully created the item or wasted those resources.�
The odds of success are (Base %) plus 1 /2 of your skill level plus 1 /6 of your Strength. Iron Forging eventually wears out your blacksmith hammer. Single-click on the hammer to see what kind of shape it�s in: new, slightly used, worn out, etc. A new blacksmith hammer costs 200 at a Blacksmith Shop, and lasts an average of 200 uses before breaking (unless it gets repaired with the Iron Repair skill).
