Pixel Lineage forging is how you turn Gold and materials into a weapon of the next tier at the Blacksmith. This guide covers what you need to unlock it, the Gold and materials for T1 to T4 weapons, how rarity is rolled, and which weapon to forge before the top ones.
How Pixel Lineage forging and the Blacksmith work
The weapons list we read says forging needs the village Blacksmith repaired first. Once it is working you forge weapons from tier T1 up to T4, each tier asking for more Gold and for materials from deeper in the game. Separately, the Blacksmith also upgrades gear with upgrade stones, a chance-based process described in the town buildings guide; this guide is about forging new weapons, not upgrading old ones.
Pixel Lineage weapon forging materials by tier
| Tier | Gold | Materials |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | 120 Gold | 2 Salvaged Metal and 1 Moss Wolf Pelt |
| T2 | 400 Gold | 3 Bone Fragments and 1 Cursed Essence |
| T3 | 900 Gold | 3 Wisp Dust, 2 Runed Stone Shards and 1 Cursed Essence |
| T4 | 1,800 Gold | 4 Living Cinder, 3 Runed Stone Shards and 2 Cursed Essence |
Forging does not roll your result's rarity up front. The list we read says rarity is rolled separately after the metal cools, so a better rarity is not guaranteed.
Which weapons you can forge
- T1: Iron Sword, Iron Dagger, Oak Staff, Leather Hand Wraps, Traveller's Lute, Hunting Bow.
- T2: Sunforged Blade, Verdant Warden, Shadowstep Kunai, Star Stiletto, Worldtree Staff, Titan Gauntlet, Verdant Lyre, Elven Longbow.
- T3: Frostbrand, Viper's Kiss, Crescent Moonstaff, Jade Dragon Wraps, Sunburst Lute, Stormcaller Bow.
- T4: Dragonfang Cleaver, Voidreaver, Emberclaw, Phoenix Rod, Voidcaller, Thunder Fists, Nightsong Lute, Emberwing Bow, Voidstring.
12 more weapons are graded Blueprint (Blood Sword, Bone Sword, Heroic Sword, Lightborne, Skull Axe, Steel Dagger, Stone Scythe, Bone Staff, Cleric Staff, Cursed Staff, Iron Staff, Skull Staff). They are crafted from blueprints rather than the T1 to T4 recipes above, and the list we read gives no materials for them.
Mythic weapons (Seraph's Oath, Nightfang, Astral Sceptre, Phoenix Knuckles, Aurora Lute, Celestial Bow) are not part of the forging list, and the source does not say how they drop, so we do not claim a route. The full table with class and tier is on the weapons list, and the weapons tier list ranks them S to D.
Which weapon to forge first
The weapons list we read advises stepping up rather than jumping straight to T4, and names a path for each class: a mid-tier weapon first, then the top ones.
| Class | Forge first | Then |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior | Sunforged Blade or Frostbrand | Dragonfang Cleaver or Voidreaver |
| Thief | Shadowstep Kunai, Star Stiletto or Viper's Kiss | Emberclaw or Nightfang |
| Mage | Worldtree Staff or Crescent Moonstaff | Phoenix Rod or Voidcaller |
| Fist | Leather Hand Wraps or Titan Gauntlet | Jade Dragon Wraps, Thunder Fists or Phoenix Knuckles |
| Bard | Traveller's Lute or Verdant Lyre | Sunburst Lute, Nightsong Lute or Aurora Lute |
| Archer | Hunting Bow or Elven Longbow | Emberwing Bow, Voidstring or Celestial Bow |

Pixel Lineage forging FAQ
How do you forge weapons in Pixel Lineage?
Repair the village Blacksmith, then pay the Gold and materials for the tier you want. T1 costs 120 Gold, and T4 costs 1,800 Gold plus Living Cinder, Runed Stone Shards and Cursed Essence.

4 Living Cinder, 3 Runed Stone Shards and 2 Cursed Essence, plus 1,800 Gold.
Can you forge Mythic weapons in Pixel Lineage?
The list we read covers T1 to T4 forging only. It ranks the six Mythic weapons in S tier but does not give a forging route for them.
Is forged weapon rarity guaranteed in Pixel Lineage?
No. Rarity is rolled separately after the metal cools, so you can forge a weapon and still not get the rarity you wanted.
