Consider saving ores for armor if weapon is good enough

8. Weapon Type Comparison

Boss Fights: Colossal Sword or Hammer (high damage)
Solo/Sustain: Demonite weapons (lifesteal)

9. Cost Optimization Tips

Save Gold on Crafting

Mix Rare + Common Ores

Don't use 4 legendary ores. Use 2 legendary + 2 common/uncommon to save 40-60% cost.
Don't Re-Craft Low Multipliers Early Game

A 2.0x early weapon is fine. Don't burn through ores chasing 3.0x when you'll replace it soon.
Use Dwarf Race for Important Crafts

+10% success rate = fewer failures = saved ores. Worth rerolling for expensive weapons.
Complete ALL Mini-Games

4/4 mini-games = +40% success rate. Skipping saves 30 seconds but wastes thousands in failed crafts.
Check Tier Lists Before Crafting

Some weapons are just better. Don't waste Mithril on a Rapier when Katana is superior.
Farm Ores in Bulk

Dedicate mining sessions to stockpile ores. Don't craft → realize you're out → mine again. Inefficient!

When to Upgrade Weapons

Current Multiplier	Upgrade When You Can Craft	Reason
1.0x - 2.0x	Anything 2.5x+	Significant upgrade
2.0x - 3.0x	3.5x+	Noticeable damage boost
3.0x - 4.0x	4.5x+	Worth the material cost
4.0x - 5.0x	5.5x+	Only upgrade for endgame
5.0x+	6.5x+ (mythical only)	Marginal gains, low priority

10. Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best weapon recipe for beginners?

Iron + Copper + Coal (Medium quality) for your first weapon. Costs ~150g and gets you 1.5-2.5x multiplier. Once you reach 100m depth, upgrade to Gold + Silver + Iron + Platinum for 3.0-4.5x.

Should I always use Heavy quality for maximum damage?

No. Heavy is slower and only worth it for specific builds (tank, burst damage). Medium quality is better for 90% of situations - balanced damage and speed.

How do I get higher multipliers?

Higher multipliers come from:

Using 4 ores instead of 3
Choosing Heavy quality (1.0-7.0x range)
Using rarer ores (Mithril, Demonite, Adamantite)
Completing all 4 mini-games perfectly
Using Dwarf race (+luck bonus)
RNG luck

Is it worth re-crafting a 3.5x weapon to get 5.0x+?

Depends on the cost. If using cheap ores (Gold, Platinum), yes. If using expensive ores (Demonite, Adamantite), only re-craft if you got below 4.0x. A 3.5x Mithril weapon is still very usable.

Can I use the same recipe for armor?

Yes! Armor uses the same ore combinations but outputs defense instead of damage. The crafting process is identical. Check our Best Armor Recipes guide.

What's the highest possible multiplier?

7.0x with Heavy quality. However, rolls above 6.5x are extremely rare (< 3% chance). Most "god rolls" are 6.0-6.5x range.

Should I save Luminite ore?

YES! As of December 2025, Luminite cannot be used in recipes. It's likely for future updates. Sell excess if you need gold, but keep at least 10 for future content.

What weapon is best for PvP?

Katana with 5.0x+ multiplier. Fast attacks, high DPS, good mobility. Light or Medium quality. Alternative: Colossal Sword for one-shot burst builds.

Do mini-games actually affect multiplier?

Indirectly, yes. Mini-games increase success rate, which correlates with slightly higher multiplier chances. Always do 4/4 - it's worth it.

Can I sell crafted weapons for profit?

Only high multipliers (5.0x+). You'll lose gold selling low multipliers to NPCs. High-roll weapons can be sold to other players in trading (if available) for profit.
