Smithing

Smithing is done simple and oldschool style in Silverpath.

There are 3 slots on smithing panel, top left is for upgrading dust, which is required for upgrading and varies depending on the equipment's theme, for beginners until they reach Holy Sanctuary, upgrading dust is simply "Copper Dust".

Bottom left slot is for your equipment, you can upgrade an equipment until it reaches +5 (V). You can no longer put an equipment on smithing table if it is +5. If you don't have any upgrading dust, you can just put your equipment on smithing table and DESTROY it. Yes you heard it right, there is a chance of getting some upgrading dust based on equipment's theme by destroying them. Becareful, do not destory your gear accidentally, first put upgrading dust so that destroy option won't appear.

Finally top right slot is for upgrade protection dust. Now now, thats some premium stuff right there but don't worry, if you grind enough you can get some for free by doing quests and opening boss chests. Protection dust prevents your item to be completely destroyed in case upgrading fails.

If you don't have any protection dust, once your upgrade fails, your item will be lost and blacksmith will drop some upgrading dust. ( Ex. when upgrading from +4 to +5 fails, you are likely to get 1-5 upgrading dust for your loss. )
