Making weapons

[gobeers]

So how do I make a "long sword"? I have the crafting stuff to make wooden and stone weapons but they give me staffs and polearms. Is it random? thank you!

Its random. Just keep trying until you get what you want.

The game is entended for you to drop most weapons and equipment, just keep trying and you'll get the long sword!

Thanks, Can you copper ore/ingots to make copper weapons?

There is a mod called Yar craft, it adds weapons to craft, so far there apparently is no way to craft ingot or glass equipment.
I'm trying to see if it's possible to transform fragments into ore. I recently found mica ore, which I thought was impossible because I had only found it in fragments.

There are funny ways to get strange material/item combos. One common thing that people do is get metal logs and metal threads

Dude, how do you do that? I've been playing for hours and didn't know that, lol

Use the hammer.... There's a video on youtube about the crafting system.

Yes. Use metal ingots to craft statues in the sculpting table, then disassemble the statues with a hammer. You have a chance to get a log of the corresponding material, then you can make a "wood weapon" from those logs.

It's just a workaround until real equipment crafting is added, it's also largely pointless because the gear you make now will be unenchanted, but it can be decent for followers/residents.

There are specialized crafting tables for various equipment types in the game, just not craftable by players and with no linked recipes yet. Eventually the gear crafting system will probably be added along with the ability to craft equipment with things like runes/gems to give them enchantments. That system just isn't ready yet, and/or the dev doesn't know how to balance it with loot drops yet.

Honestly its not worth it at all, just grind it in nefias, or buy from a blacksmith after investing a ton.
