Smithing

This page is currently under construction to fit the current UI.

Before commenting below, we highly suggest that you read our Frequently Asked Questions!

For a list of successful sword smithing recipes, see Board:Recipe Report.

Smithing allows players to create new swords. Creating a sword consumes resources, consisting of charcoal (木炭) , steel (玉鋼) , coolant (冷却材) , and whetstone (砥石) . Each smithing also requires a Request Token (依頼札). A Help Token (手伝い札) can be used to skip the wait time for the smithing. All of them can be obtained by fulfilling Missions, or through Expeditions and the Front Lines.

Using Ofuda (御札) will increase your chances of getting a rare sword, but does not guarantee doing so. Ofuda can be obtained through certain Missions or purchased in the Shop.

When performing smithing by batches of 10 (十連鍛刀), only 9 request tokens will be used, but 10 help tokens are still required to speed up a batch of 10 smiths. Choosing to use ofuda for a ten-smith will consume 10 ofuda.

Extensive trial data has generally indicated that factors such as player level, sword leader, and leader level have little to no effect on the result. The primary factor appears to be the recipe chosen for Smithing.

Recipes

Listed below are sample recipes that have great likelihood of creating a particular type of sword. It is important to note that using specific recipes only increases the chances of getting a certain type of sword, but that other types of swords will still be obtainable.

The percentages listed in the remarks are based off of experimental data, and as such may not be 100% accurate.

Bear in mind that the type of sword you will obtain is random, so the chances of obtaining the sword you desire may be fairly low.

Tantou (短刀)

Tantous may be obtained with any recipe ranged from 50/50/50/50 to 699/399/999/999. In particular, you may get a lot of tantous from Yari recipes.

Wakizashi (脇差)

Wakizashis are obtainable with any recipe ranged from 100/100/100/100 to 499/499/999/999. In particular, the recipe 100/400/100/100 is a Wakizashi-exclusive recipe.

Uchigatana (打刀)

Forging Time

Each sword requires a certain amount of time in order to be forged. The timer you see after forging a sword can be used to potentially identify the type of sword being made. Swords in a 'Limited Time' row can only be currently forged during smithing campaigns.

Manifestation Points

Along with the smith-by-ten function, manifestation points (顕現ポイント) were introduced with Nukemaru's debut smithing campaign starting from August 29, 2022. Manifestation points can only be obtained during ongoing smithing campaigns. These points are accumulated when the specified campaign recipe is used, allowing the player to redeem the featured campaign sword once 5000 points have been reached.

A blue button labeled 期間限定鍛刀設定 (“Limited-Time Smithing Setting”) can be checked on the smithing screen to automatically set the recipe to the amount specified in the campaign. When using a recipe other than the campaign recipe during an active campaign, a warning will be displayed.

Every standard smith (i.e. no ofuda used) grants 5 manifestation points. Using ofuda grants additional points:

• Plum ofuda: +5 points, 10 points total
• Bamboo ofuda: +10 points, 15 points total
• Pine ofuda: +15 points, 20 points total
• Fuji ofuda: +30 points, 35 points total

Message for conversion of leftover manifestation points to standard Konpeitou.

When the smithing campaign ends, any remaining manifestation points will be converted into standard Konpeitou. One standard Konpeitou is obtained for every 200 manifestation points.

Dismantling Swords

The menu for dismantling swords, located on the second tab of the Forge.

The second tab of the Forge, labeled [刀解], brings up a menu that allows you to select unwanted swords for destruction. Dismantling swords will provide you with a very small amount of resources, which varies based on what type of sword you are dismantling.

Consuming swords at the Refinery is generally a more cost-effective way to get rid of extra swords, unless you have no swords that need their stats boosted.

Swords must fulfill the following conditions to show up as a sword to dismantle:

• Be unlocked from the Formation menu (by default)
• Are unassigned to any parties
• Are not in Internal Affairs

Swords that are dismantled will have any equipped troops and horses automatically removed and returned to the inventory.

The breakdown of resources obtained per sword dismantled is as follows:

Type
Tantou	1	2	0	1
Tantou (Kiwame)	2	4	0	2
Wakizashi	2	4	0	2
Wakizashi (Kiwame)	4	8	0	4
