Smelting

Needs the full game In the free version this skill stops at level 4: the levels above need the full game.The full game is a one-time purchase inside the app (Full Game Unlock).

Teaches more efficient smelting and the ability to smelt more difficult ores

How to level up

Smelt ore to raise this skill. The more difficult the ore to smelt, the more experience you earn.

Fastest experience

Levels	Activity	XP/hour	XP	Time
1 → 10	Carbide Carbide from Molybdenum Ore same rate: Carbide×2 Carbide×2 Carbide×2 +1	720	2,187,000	~3,037 h
From level 1 to 10, always on the fastest activity				~3,037 h

XP per hour is the XP of one action × 3,600 ÷ the seconds it takes: gathering at the base time (tools, skill level and other gatherers shorten it) and crafting with the ingredients in hand.

Getting the ingredients takes time too, and it is not in these rates: the planner builds the whole path, with every material.
