Theory
You will use an anvil and various tools along with metal to create the instrument of your choice. Each tool makes a different impact and will move metal in its own way. You also choose the force of your impact, so you can make a large move of metal or small, fine corrections. Each project also has a finite amount of times it can be struck, so you must use your strikes carefully.
Any time you change a hammer, the force will reset to 1. CHANGE TOOL -> CHANGE FORCE
Tools
Informal information gathered while testing, please add/correct as needed.
Round Hammer
- Will evenly move metal based on your strike power. Useful for making the fine adjustments on your way to a 9kp quality piece.
Ball Peen Hammer
- Will make an impact like a round hammer, but the point of impact will be dramatically deeper. Useful for taking out those sharp peaks without damaging the area surrounding it.
Wide Tungsten Chisel
- Will make a sharp impact, useful for making the "blade" of a project or making a single point strike.
Shaping Mallet
- Will move the most metal with the fewest strikes, useful for initially shaping your project; less useful to make fine adjustments.
