Smelting

Smelting is the Refining Trade Skill used to convert mined ore and metal resources into ingots at a Smelter. Metal is required by a wide range of crafting professions, making Smelting one of the most important processing skills in Aeternum’s economy.

Quick Facts

Smelting Progression

Smelting progresses from early metals into increasingly advanced ingots. Higher-tier recipes often require previously refined metals in addition to newly gathered ore, creating continuing demand for materials from earlier tiers.

At level 205, Smelters can produce Mythril Ingots. At level 250, they can create Prismatic Ingots, the profession’s premium Prismatic material.

Refining Efficiency

Smelting can generate bonus output from eligible recipes. Profession level contributes to refining efficiency, while Smelting equipment and other refining bonuses can improve the amount of finished material produced from a given stockpile of resources.

Connected Trade Skills

Smelting is supplied primarily by Mining. Its ingots are heavily used by Weaponsmithing, Armoring, Engineering, Jewelcrafting, and Furnishing.
