# Smithing 🛠

See [smithing](https://athlaeos.gitbook.io/wiki/de/player-info/indepth-skills/smithing "mention")\
\
**Description**\
Smithing is your proficiency in tool/armor making. The higher quality equipment you make, the better their properties.\
These properties can include armor value, durability, damage, attack speed, and projectile velocity. Potentially others if your server has configured it so.

**How to gain EXP**\
Crafting any tool or equipment. The more expensive the material and the more of it spent, the more EXP you get.

**Special Notes**\
Crafting tools with materials far above your level will decrease the experience gained from it, as well as crafting with materials too far below your level.\
❗ For each "tier" apart, EXP is halved. (e.g. at level 40(iron/gold tier), stone and diamond are halved, wood and netherite are quartered)\
The only exception to this rule is that at level 80(netherite tier), diamond equipment does NOT halve in value.

**Tips**\
Smithing is a resource-expensive skill to level up, but the first levels go by fast. To reach level 40 (iron/gold tier) you need approximately 1 stack of logs and 3 stacks of cobblestone, spent on crafting tools. (Lite configuration)

**Perks**\
In the Lite configuration Smithing only offers generic quality improvements for your crafted equipment, as well as a couple new recipes. Leveling Smithing allows you to craft your own Tridents and Elytras.

#### ❗ Classic, Plus, and Immersive

These configuration presets also allow you to tinker your tools further by improving its stats or adding certain upgrades to them.\
Tinkering also grants more Smithing EXP based on the expensiveness of the ingredient
