There are 3 core aspects of item crafting in Zenonia 5 available at the Blacksmith, and they are the following.
Upgrade Stones[]
Accessed from the blacksmith through the Make Upgrade Stone menu option, this involves higher grade equipment (blue Magic, yellow Rare, purple Epic and orange Unique). You select two pieces in your inventory that are not equipped on you of identical Rarity (color), and for no Gold cost those two pieces of equipment are destroyed. An Upgrade Stone of the same rarity and at roughly the average of the levels of the two items destroyed is created in your Accessories inventory. It will give one boost out of a wide variety of options (ATT, DEF, HP, SP, INT, STR, DEX, CON, Reduced SP cost of skills by %, have all been seen), and the strength of the boost depends on both its rarity and level. Higher rarity equipment also allows for a greater variety of possible buffs.
They can be slotted into your equipment. If you go to your Equipment inventory and select any piece, look in the bottom right corner of the screen in the Upgrade Stone section. You should see 1 to 3 slots indicated with a yellow diamond, initially empty. You use an Upgrade stone by double tapping on it, select Use, then switch to your Equipment screen and select a piece that has a free slot. Two core rules:
- An Upgrade Stone cannot be set into a piece of equipment with a lower level than the stone itself
- The setting of a stone is permanent unless you pay ZEN to destroy it out of the slot.
If you're not short on Gold this can be an excellent use of equipment of the wrong class or with bad stats.
Combine[]
Straightforward, traditional crafting, you select a recipe out of a set of categories and it will show an ingredient list along with your current stockpile of those ingredients. If you have enough, you can select the Make button and for 100 gold it will be created.
The list of possible items to craft include refined components, direct equipment, potions and foods. Recipes can be bought from various shops or can be dropped from monsters, or even given freely at the start of certain quests with the intention that you craft that item for the NPC that gave it to you. The Equipment options are typically for equipment Sets, which will grant additional bonuses if you can equip the entire set.

Refine[]
All equipment above a common rarity has a Refinement level, shown as a (X/Y) number next to its name in the equipment statistics window in Inventory. Higher rarity equipment dropped from monsters usually starts at refinement 0; the equipment given from the daily free gift chest is frequently at refinement 3. The higher the refinement, the notably higher the baseline stats of the equipment will be (not additional buffs).
At the Blacksmith in the Refine menu, you select a higher rarity piece of equipment that is not equipped. For a Gold cost that depends on the current refinement level and equipment rarity (jumping significantly at higher refinements) the Blacksmith can attempt to refine the equipment. Past the first level there is a chance to fail; if this happens the equipment gets destroyed. There are items in the ZEN store that can increase the refinement chance to 100%.
