How to craft the Iron Anvil Head

Here is how you can craft the Iron Anvil head in Pax Dei:

Step #1: Reach the required Blacksmithing skill

You must reach Blacksmithing Level 5 before the recipe becomes available. If you’re not there yet, craft simpler items like Bronze Tools or Iron Bars to gain experience until you unlock the recipe.

Step #2: Gather Iron Ingots

Collect or smelt 20 Iron Ingots. You can obtain Iron Ore from mining nodes and then refine it in a Furnace. Each Iron Ingot requires fuel and Charcoal and Blizzard stone, so plan your resources ahead.

Step #3: Gather Charcoal

You’ll need 40 Charcoal. Charcoal is produced by burning wood or logs in a Charcoal Kiln. This process takes time, so it’s best to produce it in bulk for future use.

Step #4: Use the correct crafting station

Once you have the ingredients, head to a Basic Forge or Craftsman Forge. Place your materials into the crafting menu and select the Iron Anvil Head recipe. Ensure your station is in working condition and fueled properly.

Step #5: Account for crafting difficulty

The Iron Anvil Head has a difficulty level 10, meaning there’s a small chance of failure even at the correct skill level. Bring extra materials in case you need to attempt multiple crafts.

Step #6: Use your Iron Anvil Head

After successfully crafting it, the Iron Anvil Head becomes an essential part for building your Iron Anvil — which you’ll later use to access higher-tier Blacksmithing recipes and more durable gear.

Tips for smoother crafting

  • Failures can happen; prepare extra Iron Ingots and Charcoal.
  • A higher-tier forge increases your success rate and efficiency.
  • Keep crafting lower-tier items to raise your Blacksmithing skill consistently.
  • Using another player’s forge or sharing resources can save valuable time.
