How to craft weapons at the Forge Bench

Quick Beginner Path

If you are new, follow this simple route:

Get a basic Axe / Lumberjack Tool.
Harvest trees near Prontera Field for early materials.
Start the mining safety quest in Payon Dungeon.
Get a Safety Helmet and Old Picks.
Mine beginner ore nodes for crafting materials.
Visit the Forge Bench to craft basic weapons.
Check your passive skill progress often.

Passive Skills

Harvesting, Mining, and Crafting are connected to the Passive Skills system.

You can check your passive skill progress at the:

Passive Skills Journal
Map: memory
Coordinates: 116,44

The journal lets you review:

Mining
Fishing
Harvesting
Crafting

Each skill gains EXP as you use it.

Useful Passive Bonuses

Passive Skill	What It Improves
Harvesting	Better harvest results, bonus drops, and fail-safe chances
Mining	Chance to preserve Old Picks and chance for extra mining drops
Crafting	Better success chance, material save chance, and masterwork/quality chance

Harvesting Trees

Harvesting is one of the easiest ways for beginners to start gathering useful materials.

Requirements

To harvest a tree, you must have your lumberjack equipment equipped.

Required tool: Axe / Lumberjack Tool
Tool item ID used by the script: 1301
The tool may be equipped in either hand

If you do not have the correct tool equipped, you will receive this message:

[Harvest] Your lumberjack equipment is not equipped.

Where to Harvest

Starter harvest trees are located on:

Map: prt_fild08

Known starting tree locations include:

Node	Location
Tree Node 1	`prt_fild08 181,360`
Tree Node 2	`prt_fild08 145,301`
Tree Node 3	`prt_fild08 272,278`

After a tree is harvested, it disappears and later respawns in a new random valid location.

Harvest Cooldown

Each character has a short cooldown between harvest attempts.

Cooldown Type	Duration
Character harvest cooldown	20 seconds
Tree node lock	25 seconds
Tree respawn	20 minutes

The node lock prevents multiple players from harvesting the same tree at the same time.

Harvesting Rewards

Harvesting can give different materials depending on your Harvesting passive tier.

Common beginner rewards include:

Fruit / Apples
Basic natural materials
Wood-like or plant-based crafting materials
Occasional better materials at higher Harvesting tiers

Every completed harvest attempt also gives a small amount of fruit.

Harvesting Failure Chance

Your chance to fail decreases as your Harvesting tier increases.

Harvesting Tier	Approximate Failure Chance
Tier 0	30%
Tier 1	25%
Tier 2	20%
Tier 3	15%
Tier 4	10%

Higher Harvesting levels can also give:

Bonus harvest rewards
Fail-safe rewards when an attempt would normally fail

Mining Materials

Mining is one of the most important ways to gather materials for equipment crafting.

You will need mining materials for many progression systems, including beginner equipment, ores, and later crafting recipes.

Starting Mining

Before you can mine, you need:

Safety Helmet
Old Picks
Enough passive Mining level for the mine type

Required Mining Gear

Item	Purpose
Safety Helmet	Must be equipped in the top headgear slot to mine
Old Pick	Required in inventory; usually consumed when mining

Higher Mining passive levels can give a chance to preserve your Old Pick instead of consuming it.

Safety Helmet Quest

To begin mining safely, speak to the Mining Foreman.

NPC: Mining Foreman
Map: pay_dun00
Coordinates: 25,163

First-Time Helmet Requirements

To receive your Safety Helmet, bring:

Requirement	Amount
Stone	20
Stone Heart	10
Iron Ore	5
Coal	5
Zeny	5,000

After completing the quest, you receive:

Safety Helmet
5 Old Picks

Equip the Safety Helmet in your top headgear slot before mining.

Replacement Helmet

If you lose your Safety Helmet after completing the quest, the Mining Foreman can issue a replacement.

Replacement cost:

Requirement	Amount
Stone	10
Stone Heart	5
Zeny	15,000

Injured Miner Helper Quest

There is also a helpful beginner quest for players who need materials for the Safety Helmet.

NPC: Injured Miner
Map: pay_dun01
Coordinates: 31,38
Requirement: Base Level 30+

The Injured Miner asks you to defeat undead enemies.

Kill Requirements

Monster	Amount
Skeleton	20
Soldier Skeleton	30

After completing the request, the Injured Miner gives you the materials needed for the Safety Helmet:

20 Stone
10 Stone Heart
5 Iron Ore
5 Coal

You still need your own Zeny for the Mining Foreman.

How Mining Works

Mining is interactive.

When you click a mining spot:

The system checks your Mining passive level.
It checks for an Old Pick.
It checks that you are wearing a Safety Helmet.
The rock displays HP.
Your pick displays HP.
You choose where to strike the rock.
Finding the weak point damages the rock more effectively.
Breaking the rock gives mining drops and Mining EXP.

If you hit poorly, accidents can happen. Mining can damage you, break your pick, or cause dangerous cave events.

Mining Levels and Mine Types

Different mine types require different passive Mining progress.

Mine Type	Required Mining Rank	General Location
Phracon	Candidate	Payon Dungeon
Emveretarcon	Rookie	Ant Hell
Iron	Apprentice	Einbech Dungeon
Steel	Worker	Juperos
Star	Pitman	Magma Dungeon
Crystal	Expert	Ice Dungeon
Oridecon	Craftsman	Abyss Lake
Elunium	Master	Thor Dungeon
Magic Crystal	Master	North desert of Rachel

Mining Guide NPCs

Mining guide NPCs can explain mining, sell Old Picks, and describe drops.

Mining Rank	Map	Coordinates	Mine Type
Candidate	`pay_dun00`	`149,171`	Phracon
Rookie	`anthell01`	`85,261`	Emveretarcon

Craftsman	`abyss_02`	`247,273`	Oridecon
Master	`thor_v02`	`24,126`	Elunium

Mining Drops

Mining can reward several kinds of materials.

Drop Type	Notes
Common Minerals	Most common mining rewards
Normal Minerals	Less common materials used in crafting
Special Minerals	Rare materials from mining
Unique Mine Drops	Depends on mine type, such as Phracon, Iron, Steel, Oridecon, or Elunium

Higher-tier mines and larger mine sizes can improve your overall reward potential.

Crafting Weapons

Weapon crafting is done at the Forge Bench.

NPC: Forge Bench
Map: memo_in
Coordinates: 256,185

There is also a Forge Bench sign nearby at:

memo_in 255,188

How the Forge Bench Works

The Forge Bench lets you choose an item to craft, then shows the required materials before you attempt the craft.

The bench will show:

Item name
Recipe Item Level
Required Crafting Tier
Your current Crafting Tier
Required materials
How many of each material you currently have

If you do not have the required Crafting Tier or materials, the craft cannot be completed.

Beginner Forge List

The starter Forge Bench list includes:

Item	Type
Sword	Weapon
Falchion	Weapon
Axe	Weapon / Harvesting Tool
Mace	Weapon
Staff	Weapon

The exact material requirements are pulled from the server’s crafting database, so always check the Forge Bench preview before crafting.

Crafting Tiers

Crafting uses passive Crafting tiers.

Crafting Level	Crafting Tier	Recipe Access
Level 0–9	Tier 0	Basic Item Level 1 recipes
Level 10–19	Tier 1	Item Level 1–2 recipes
Level 20–29	Tier 2	Item Level 1–3 recipes
Level 30–39	Tier 3	Item Level 1–3 recipes and any extra enabled categories
Level 40+	Tier 4	Highest listed crafting tier

Crafting Bonuses

As your Crafting passive improves, you can gain:

Bonus	Effect
Success Bonus	Increases crafting success chance
Material Save	Chance to preserve some materials
Masterwork / Quality	Chance to improve the crafted result

Masterwork effects can add random options to crafted equipment.
