Forging

Forging is a life skill first introduced to the player in Pingkang City when Yi consults the city blacksmith (i forgot his' name). This skill allows the player to craft weapons that is much more powerful than that dropped by mobs or given to the player by NPCs. The skill can be leveled by forging weapons or by consulting certain NPCs and can only be performed when engaging with a blacksmith
== Blacksmith Locations ==
*NPC name | location (in a table)
== Materials ==
 Ores, gems and wood (might need cloth would have to check later) needed to forge the weapon can be collected, bought, scavenged from weapons/equipment or by robbing sparring NPCs. The player must also find the blueprint of the weapon before they can craft it.
==== Buying Material ====
There are certain merchants that will sell materials for forging. These merchants can be found on the map traveling between certain areas, take note as they take the same paths. The most important material to purchase is Coal. Buy LOTS of it (i think there was a blacksmith that sold coal in Nanyu Village, merchant in Fancheng City sells it as well in the center of the market).
==== Collecting Materials ====
Throughout the game there are resource points that players can mine for material such as ores, gems and wood. The more dangerous the area, the better material it yields. These resource points will respawn after some time but collecting them will burn Stamina. If the player runs out of stamina, the player may not collect any more resources until the player consumes Stamina restoration pills/elixir or until the player has rested. Collecting high quality material will also burn more stamina so plan accordingly if farming.
===== Location of Deposits =====
*ore/gem | location | # of spawns
===== Location of Trees =====
*wood | location | # of spawns
==== Scavenging ====
Players can scrape weapons and equipment for materials at most blacksmiths, however there is a fee. The amount paid is dependent on the class of the item(s) and racks up pretty fast when done in bulk.
== Blueprints == 
Weapon Blueprints are items used to unlock the ability to craft weapons in game. Weapons that are crafted is significantly better than the one dropped by mobs. There are two types of weapon blueprints in the game. There are the ones that can be purchased from town blacksmiths which will teach the player how to make all the types of weapons of a specific class (not as good). Then there are advanced ones found in chests or won from spars (much better). Players will be able to tell which ones they are crafting as the weapons are advanced.
