The normal recipes for swords, bows and armour do not exist in CivCraft. You craft CivCraft gear, in four tiers. Each tier takes better materials and more technology, and is clearly stronger than the one before.
How gear works
- Attack. A weapon deals its attack value as damage. A bow deals its bow damage.
- Defence. Each armour piece you wear subtracts its defence value from each hit. A hit always deals at least half a point of damage.
- Technology. Gear that needs a tech only works at half strength without it. Crafting it needs the tech.
- Leather or metal. Leather armour makes you faster: 5% at tier 1 up to 20% at tier 4. Metal makes you slower by the same amount, but protects better. You cannot use a bow while wearing metal armour.
- Wear. CivCraft gear does not wear from use. Each death does cost each piece 10% of its durability.
- Soulbound. Normally you drop everything when you die. An item carrying the Soulbound enchant from the Library stays.

The Blacksmith
Smelter
The smelter gets more out of ore than a furnace. Only residents of the town can use it.
- Left-click the smelter sign holding iron ore or gold ore. The whole stack goes in.
- Wait 3 hours.
- Left-click the sign to collect. You get 25% more ingots than the ore you put in: 8 ore gives 10 ingots.
Forge
At the forge you improve a weapon or armour piece using a catalyst.
- Left-click the first sign holding the catalyst to put it in the forge.
- Left-click the second sign holding the weapon or armour piece.
- Each attempt costs 2,500 coins.
An Attack Catalyst gives +1 attack, a Defense Catalyst +0.25 defence. The first three improvements of an item always succeed. After that an attempt succeeds at the chance in the table, and on a failure the item is destroyed.
| Catalyst | Bonus per use | Success chance | Works on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Attack Catalyst | +1 attack | 50% | Iron Shortsword, Hunting Bow |
| Common Defense Catalyst | +0.25 defense | 66% | Iron Chestplate, Iron Leggings, Iron Helmet, Iron Boots, Leather Jacket, Leather Moccasins, Leather Pants, Leather Helmet |
| Uncommon Attack Catalyst | +1 attack | 50% | Steel Longsword, Recurve Bow |
| Uncommon Defense Catalyst | +0.25 defense | 66% | Steel Chestplate, Steel Leggings, Steel Helmet, Steel Assault Boots, Refined Leather Cap, Refined Leather Chestplate, Refined Leather Leggings, Refined Leather Moccasins |
| Rare Attack Catalyst | +1 attack | 50% | Carbide Steel sword, Longbow |
| Rare Defense Catalyst | +0.25 defense | 66% | Carbide Steel Chestplate, Carbide Steel leggings, Carbide Steel Helmet, Carbide Steel Boots, Hardened Leather Cap, Hardened Leather Jacket, Hardened Leather Pants, Hardened Leather Moccasins |
| Legendary Attack Catalyst | +1 attack | 50% | Tungsten Broadsword, Marksmen Bow |
