Players can follow a comprehensive fantasy smithing workflow, starting with mining raw materials, then smelting, forging, assembling, grinding, and finally rune-crafting their weapons. Each step of this process tangibly impacts the appearance, quality, damage, and value of the final product. Players express enjoyment in being able to customize and craft their own specialized armaments.

The game offers a wide variety of weapon classes, including daggers, swords, axes, hammers, and more. With thousands of possible shape variations, along with different materials that alter the weapon's durability and damage, players can create a vast array of unique and personalized armaments.

Using a trusty cart to store and transport resources adds an additional layer of logistical challenge and immersion.
