Dont think that the Blacksmith is balanced properly, use adamantium and redwood to make a scythe, and got bronse.. like I can understand a chance to get a lower result, but that takes the piss. I suggest making it 1 degree of quality either way.. this tier 1 equipment from higher lvl equipment also happened from steel armour for me on a few attempts.. (still not got steel armour).

Super quick farming/exp tip : If you can get a mage with polymorph, put him in front row and farm the Greatcloud #10 boss. You'll get 2400 gold, 85exp and compos.. for 3seconds ^^

See my previous post for an updated summary of blacksmith recipes (ignore the post I made before that - I messed up the format and there doesn't appear to be a way to edit or delete posts in this forum). Anyway, I included the diadem recipe, which I hadn't seen posted before. I also cleared up some confusion in some of the earlier posts, which were mixing up runes (which are used to unlock/upgrade spells) with magic components (which are used in blacksmithing recipes). I use the in-game terminology, i.e. Magic, and I abbreviate Magic as G (to avoid a conflict with Metal). One of the blacksmith recipes produces runes (not spells, as an earlier post incorrectly claimed). Also note that you can recycle any 3 or more pieces of equipment. An earlier post seemed to claim you need 9, but that is not the case (presumably including more items increases the chance for a high quality result).

"Congratulations, you have successfully completed all the missions!" Errr, no I haven't. There's the 10 above and the 12 in the desert.

advice for starters: restart until you get the elven archer, his aura is great, second, put mages on the sides second row or in 3rd row, so they don't get in front of ur archers and don't die so fast, they have high damage and their damage can't be dodged, or i haven't noticed to be dodged.

Sometimes there is a character missmatch: now I got Tedi the nature mage, and got the extra spell with it, however he wants to use a spear for some reason instead of the usual staff.

Two additional recipes (*=Empty, W=Wood, M=Metal, S=String, R=rune/magic,):

Cape counts as armor and seems to be able to be worn be all.

blacksmith really needs to have higher minimum stats for the item produced. if you don't use any components lower than tier 3, then you should get at least a tier 2 item. And combining crafted items should have a guarantee minimum level the same as the minimum level used in crafting.

7 axes from copper and pine yielded 3B and 4I. 7 axes from iron and teak yielded 1B 4I 2S. 7 axes from steel and hickory yielded 4B 2I 1S. 7 axes made out of adamantium and oak yielded 3I and 4S. 7 axes made out of mithril and redwood yielded 4B 2I 1S. in conclusion, the formula used to calculate what you get is broken, and uses only the last digit, so tiers 1,3,5 will yield very similar items, and same for 2,4, plese look over the formula for everyone's sake developer

so i made 7 axes out of mithril and redwood, got 1 steel axe, 2 iron axes, and 4 bronze axes... either i have a luck of 0 or the blacksmithing is messed up

Fun game, but could be so so SO much better.
Some suggestions:
1)More recipes earlier for smithing.
2)More gold for missions completed and a steeper level climb.
3)Cheaper costs for leveling up. I always have at least one character that is waiting for funds to level.
4)Fast forward & Quit/Surrender options.
5)When a character is ready to level, a different color on the name or something 6)indicating he is ready to level. It is a terrible grind having to click through 20 characters to see who is ready to level.
7)Spell slots are too expensive to be worth it. 27,000 for the fourth slot means grinding though at least 15 levels, at which point, the money will be better spent leveling up characters.
8)Increasing army size past the second purchase of 3200 is again, prohibitively expensive.
9)Raw materials are far too scarce for smithing to be worth it, and is the cost of smithing is too high.
10) Too much time spent level grinding.

I took a skill tough (+10% hit points) and lost 30% of damage. Why? It was twice. Why not to write description about negative effects?

Devs, I enjoy the game, but I'm going to take a break for awhile. Please send out an announcement if you rebalance the to fix the grinding issues.

So, I made a wrong item and I have no idea if I can sell it or what? It seems that there isn't any store or anything so money is really only for upgrading your heroes, I guess.

The meteor mage's fireball "normal attack" will strike through enemies if the first target is killed. This means it will continue moving through enemies and can wipe out multiple with a single hit.

Putting archers in front row with bows and mages in second row for buffs works really well; your mellee come up just in time to start tanking stuff. it gives more dps because the ranged aren't walking around not DPSing.

It may be funny for you but if the game had the speed up button i would buy te game on STEAM mfor 1e, cause i would'nt spend more on game that i dont think will play more tha 1 week on evenenigs on the second monitor.
BUT if will conclude moar things in the game i think i would happili pay next 1e for dlc once for some time to getmi play this game for another week without getting bored.
I'm just writting it as someone who like to support Authors but with adequate sums.

and sorry to loverboy, but his front row archer strategy doesnt work very effectively, rather put them in the second row, so there is distance between them and the enemy warriors in order to pick them off without any damage at all, as enemy archers also must move forward

How to recycle- go to blacksmith-> equipment-> add 9 items (highest tier determines cost, intervals of 10^x+1 (x being tier), but you can add lower level items with it

Definitely need to fix the crafting mechanic, like others have said, the item is randomized compared to the levels of the resources used
