What We Did

We’ve implemented the Smelting View. The first step in the production pipeline connecting gathering and crafting.
Players can now take ores mined from the world and refine them into usable bars.

Each recipe is modular, with its own XP, time, and mastery data. Progression scales naturally as higher-tier bars unlock at new skill levels.

The Smelting View mirrors the layout of other skills, including the action panel, stats, and live feedback for XP and time per recipe.

Why It Matters

• Production chain foundation: Smelting bridges gathering and crafting, turning raw resources into refined materials.
• System consistency: Shares the same UI and stat structure as Mining and future crafting skills.
• Progression flow: Higher-tier bars unlock through skill XP and mastery progression.
• Balance-ready: XP and action times follow the same core balance rules as other systems.

Next Steps

Next, we’ll move into Smithing, where those refined bars become weapons, armor, and tools completing the core production loop.
