Forge
The forgery is used to craft new weapons, armor and tools found from smithing materials from missions or disassembling items. Blacksmith can also be used to craft special Yokai and Blessed weapons.
Soul Match
Soul Match is an important part of the game. If you feel like a piece of gear is too valuable to discard, you can use this feature to raise the level of that Weapon or Armor to the level of another piece of gear; and transfer the special ability of the previous weapon in the process of it.
For inheriting a special ability, the special effect must be marked with ‘inherit’. Each piece of equipment can have only ONE special effect.
In order to gain the effect, you must raise the piece of equipment to maximum familiarity and use it as a material in Soul Matching. Be warned that if your current weapon already has an effect, it will be overwritten upon infusion.
Refashion
Use this feature to pimp your character out by changing the visual appearance of the gear your character has currently equipped.
Temper
This option can be used to swap the Special Effects of your equipment. A new effect from a random pool of them can be applied depending on the quality of the Umbracite you will be using.
Disassemble
Dismantle any unwanted pieces of gear to gain more smithing materials; which you can use to craft new pieces of gear.
Rare Items
The Blacksmith will have specific rare items that change in stock every time you do a mission. Make sure to keep checking for something useful after every mission.
