The Smithing skill in Beyond Ragnarok is both a mundane and magical orientated process.

This section will explain what your characters will already know about Smithing in this manner.

All smiths can make mundane items such as Locks & Keys, and Repair Kits

The Three Professions

When you purchase ‘Smithing’ as a profession, you choose one of three crafting paths at Apprentice level.

The following links will take you to the skill pages for these different paths, where the skills of those paths can be found.

NOTE: Characters are not restricted to only one, so you may spend XP points at a later date to purchase the other paths if you wish to.

Basic Mechanics

The following table is the basic mechanics around where to go, what to do, and who to get your item from.

Below the table are more details about the OC process for Runes, and Runic items

For the IC processes, and resource requirements see Making the Runes and Making Runic Items which are also linked at the bottom of the page.

The Runes

The crafting of Runes is not a process that requires a forge, so 'crafting' roleplay of a rune can occur anywhere.

Crafting Runes only take a few minutes, so there is no waiting when you go to GOD, you will get your cards immediately.

Runic Items

The crafting of any Runic Item should either take place in your own camp if you have your own forge physreps, or you can use the crafting physreps in the longhall by asking a Folkvargr referee.

There is a wooden set of drawers on the table with crafting order envelopes in. Once filled in and resources are inside, do not seal it. The crafting Referees: The Valkyries will check the content, and seal it for you.

Crafting a Runic item takes 1 hour! (unless you have Quick Shaping - Armour and/or Quick Shaping - Weapons which reduces crafting time).

Come back to the desk once the hour is up and pick up your item. On occassion, one of the NPC's may be going down to the camps and will bring your item to you, but do not rely on this if you want your item at the hour mark.

If you want to craft a Runic item outside of the desks main opening hours (see bottom of page) and the order is not urgent, there will be a 'out of hours' draw to put crafting orders in, which will then be collectible the next day, by 12:00.

NOTE: A lot of things can happen in a game, and so if your item lammie is not ready, please be patient. If your request is time sensitive, let a ref know. This also applies in out of hours crafting, if you need your item at before 12:00 the next day, talk to a Folkvargr referee (there will always be one in the longhall during time in) when you put your crafting order in.

Forge physreps

Beyond Ragnarok is not enforcing a system where a ‘forge’ or ‘workshop’ has to be obtained through IC means in order to perform crafting. It is expected that any character who has this skill will bring with them from their homes; crafting implements, tools and equipment in order to accomplish what they need to.

We ask that wherever possible an effort is made by our players to create an IC space where ‘crafting’ can be roleplayed. This not only adds to the look and feel of the camp you are in, but makes the roleplay surrounding crafting that much more immersive. If you do not have these menas, and you want to be a crafter, you can come and use the Forge physreps in the longhall, by asking a Folkvargr Referees: The Valkyries.

Beyond Ragnarok is happy with players bringing OC anvils, hammers and tools in order to create the sounds of forging, if they wish to, though fake 'larp safe' versions are preferred. It is the responsibility of the player to ensure that these are kept within the crafting area, used in a safe manner, and NOT mistaken for LARP safe weaponry.

Crafting Opening Hours
