How to Forge Weapons

You Can Refine Weapons at the Smithy

Fire Emblem Engage - Weapon Forging

Weapons can be forged, or refined, at the Smithy in the Somniel. The Smithy is located at the Plaza, or the entrance of the Somniel home base. Prepare for combat by strengthening your weapons so that you can obliterate your enemies with ease!

Strengthening Your Weapons

Fire Emblem Engage - Weapon Refinement

You can make your current weapons stronger by using different materials and gold to upgrade them. Every weapon can be refined up to +5 level. Higher level upgrades reflect the total cost, so refining to +1 first will reduce its cost from the higher upgrades.

Turning Weapons Into New Weapons

Fire Emblem Engage - Transforming Weapons

Besides strengthening your weapon, you can also transform your current weapon into a different one by also using materials and gold! Use it to upgrade weapons like the Iron Lance into a Ridersbane for Cavalry effectiveness or a Killer Lance to deal crits more often.
