⚒️ Clawsmithing guide, 1 to 99

Clawsmithing forges weapons, off-hands and boots from ore and wood. A weapon comes out in your own class's kind, and every piece rolls rarity like a drop.

The quickest route

Doing the action with the most XP an hour at each level, back to back, Clawsmithing 1 to 99 takes about 64 hours (13,034,431 XP). Life skills carry on while you nap, action by action, so much of that happens while you're away.

Tips

Clawsmithing 99 forges level 196 gear.
Shops pay little for crafted pieces; the Exchange pays more for good rolls.
At a Clawsmithing spot, tap Play for Hammer, a 30-second minigame. A gold score (90 points) gives +25% Clawsmithing XP for 15 minutes while your cat keeps working, and the first gold puts a look in your wardrobe.
Each week's contest features one life skill; the three cats who gain the most XP in it win big gold prizes.
