# Special Servers - Item Crafting

Special Servers - Item Crafting

Item Crafting is a feature introduced in **Reign of Fire**, the 2025 Annual Special. This system allows you to upgrade, break down, and create equipment items using materials. All explanations below follow the original mechanics exactly.

* * *

## **Item Rarity and Materials**

All equipment items have a **rarity level**:

-   **Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic**
    

In addition, there is a new consumable item called **material**, which also comes in all four rarity levels.  
Equipment items still have **quality tiers**, but **materials do not**.

Common, uncommon, and rare items **may** be found on adventures (rarity influences how late in the game they appear).  
**Epic items cannot be found** in adventures — they can only be created via crafting.

## **Refine**

If you have **two identical items**, you can refine them:

-   Both items are consumed.
    
-   One material of the **same rarity** is also required.
    
-   The resulting item keeps the **same type and quality**, but its **rarity increases by one level**.
    
-   **Epic items cannot be refined further.**
    

This process has a **guaranteed result**.

* * *

## **Smelt**

Any equipment item can be smelted into materials:

-   You receive **one material instantly**, or **two materials** if you wait for the smelting process to finish (or use Gold to speed it up).
    
-   Materials received always match the **rarity of the smelted item**.
    
-   Smelting time depends on the **server speed**.

## **Forge**

Forging allows you to **create a new random item**:

-   Requires **3 materials** of any rarity.
    
-   Before confirming, you will see the **chance distribution** for the resulting rarity and quality.
    
-   Higher rarity materials increase the chance of crafting higher rarity equipment.
    

### **Item Type Selection**

The item type is fully random:

-   Equal chance for: **right-hand, left-hand, body, helmet, boots**.
    
-   Within each category, every specific item also has an **equal chance** of appearing.
    

### **Reforge Option (Gold Feature)**

Instead of accepting the first crafted item, you may reforge:

1.  First reforge shows a **second item**.
    
2.  You may choose between the two, or reforge one of them again.
    
3.  Each additional reforge costs **increasing amounts of Gold**.
    
4.  You can always choose only **one final item** at the end.
    

Each reforge generates a new item **using the same random rules**.
