Overlord (2007)/Smelting

Once you acquire the smelter from Mellow Hills with 10 red minions you will unlock the staircase nearest to the throne and on the left (when standing on the throne and facing the Tower Heart Pool).

Head down the staircase for a brief introduction from Gnarl and the minion guarding the area. To the left is the inventory rack. Straight ahead is the smelter. If you interact with the smelter you will have two options: Forge or Upgrade.

Inventory rack
If you forge any new equipment, your existing equipment will appear here. You can switch between equipment at any time by approaching and interacting with the rack.

Forging
Forging allows you to make new items at the cost of gold. At first, the only two new items you can make are a sword or a mace. Steel equipment is not worth forging. Below is a table of every time and its cost.

Upgrading
