What is Casting?
Casting is a life skill in Dragon Oath that allow player level 40 and above to collect material and make their own unique weapon. These hand-made items will always have your name under the items stats.
Where to Learn?
1. Sword Smith Wang in Lou Yang (213, 160)
2. Candle Hsueh in Su Zhou (251, 151)
3. Master Hammer in Da Li (218,110)
Upgrade at the same NPC for lv1-5, for lv6 and higher you need to have a guild city first, which I don't have and can't input in the guide yet.
How to Get the Recipes
Go back to your clan, under the Master letter in the Map to find your class Master Advisor. Talk to him and choose Buy Formula and choose the level of recipe you want. Lv2 recipe correspond to lv20 weapon and same idea applied to other higher lv recipes.
Note: You need to have class contribution in order to purchase these recipes. Class contribution can be obtain by finishing class quests.
The materials needed to make a weapon through Casting:
1st. You need the weapon plan. Lv1-3 plan (correspond to lv10,20, and 30 weapon) can be obtain by purchasing in weapon shops in each city.
To get lv4 and lv5 plan you have to go to West Liao to buy them. To get to West Liao, go to Lou Yang >> South Yan >> Grassland >> West Liao and look for the entrance to Silver Snowfield on the map. The NPC should be standing right there (for now because Silver Snowfield is not open yet, ill update if this NCP change location).
For lv6 plan and above, you need to buy it off Drawing Merchant in Lou Yang. He usually wander around Lou Yang and one of the common spot is near the teleport NPC of East Lou Yang.
2nd. Mining component such as copper, iron, silver , cold iron, gold, etc. Each has their own level which correspond to the level of the recipe. For example Iron will be level2, which is use for lv2 recipe. Furthermore, the extra item that you get during mining aside from those are material to make Lime, another component of making weapon, and the level correspond to the level of the recipe again.
3rd. You need to collect those materials that is for Casting such as Pikestaff, Shealt, Hilt, etc. Those stuff along with the extra mining component will need to go through Process Materials SKill (learn for 1gold at Iron Fung, Lou yang (154, 173) in order to produce Lime (for mining) and Lv__ Iron (for Shealth, Hilt, etc). For Lv___ Iron, depend on the level of weapon you're making, it might require lv1 Iron, lv2 Iron, or lv3 Iron. Lv1 Iron is using any Shealth Hilt, etc. +2 and under. Lv2 Iron will be +3 to +5 material, and Lv3 Iron will be +6 and above. the +number can be found on the name of the items.
Once you collected Plan, Iron, Mining component, and Lime...
You need to stand near the NPC that teaches Casting Skill and Open up Casting Skill in your Life skill section and produce the weapon you wanted.
Now you can be proud that you made your own weapon with the proof of your signature on the item. Good luck and enjoy. Sorry if I make any unclear explanation, and because of the limited of 4 picture per post, I can't provide picture for all of them...and I don't know if I can double post. Sorry for that. Just reply here if you're confused.
