Equipment upgrades and transfer

Learn Smithing Table slots, tier materials, effective-level limits and which equipment transfer consumes.

Upgrade equipment one tier at a time

Craft the next upgrade material tier from hunting materials. Different permitted materials from the same tier can be combined.
At a smithing table, place the required mineral in the template slot, the previous-tier equipment in the equipment slot, and 1 next-tier upgrade material in the addition slot.
Check and take the result. Tier 1 starts from unupgraded equipment; tiers cannot be skipped.

Next tier	Mineral in template slot	Hunting materials to craft the upgrade item
1	Copper Ingot	Tier 1 × 2
2	Iron Ingot	Tier 2 × 2
3	Gold Ingot	Tier 3 × 3
4	Iron Ingot	Tier 4 × 4
5	Gold Ingot	Tier 5 × 5
6	Diamond	Tier 6 × 6
7	Diamond	Tier 7 × 8
8	Diamond	Tier 8 × 9

Stored tier versus effective tier

Player level does not prevent using vanilla equipment itself. Even if an item stores a high upgrade tier, only the tier permitted by your player level takes effect. As you level up, more of the stored upgrade becomes effective.

Player level	Maximum effective tier
1–20	1
21–40	2
41–60	3
61–80	4
81–100	5
101–120	6
121–140	7
141–160	8

Each attack upgrade adds 4% to base attack stats. It does not increase final damage by 4% each time; actual damage depends on the target's defense and the skill used.

Each focus tier adds 4% to base spell stats. Upgrading all 4 armor pieces to tier 8 increases base survivability by up to 20%. This does not mean all incoming damage is reduced by 20%.

Transfer an upgrade to new equipment

Prepare two items from the same equipment family. The donor must have a higher upgrade tier than the receiving item.
Put 1 Copper Ingot in the Smithing Template slot, the receiving equipment in the equipment slot, and the higher-tier donor in the additional material slot.
Check the result's name, upgrade tier, enchantments, and durability before taking it.

The higher-tier donor is consumed entirely. Its tier replaces the receiver's tier; the two tiers are not added together. The receiver keeps its name, enchantments, and durability.

Transfer sword to sword, axe to axe, bow to bow, Crossbow to Crossbow, and armor to the same armor slot. A donor of the same or a lower tier cannot be used.

Craft focuses at a crafting table

Focuses follow their own crafting progression rather than normal smithing upgrades. Start with Stick, then combine the previous focus with upgrade material, the required mineral, and glass. Follow the layout on each focus's detail page.
