Anvils are functional blocks used as the work surface when [[smithing]] metal items.  
'''Anvils''' are functional blocks used as the work surface when [[Special:MyLanguage/smithing|smithing]] metal items.

===Copper and Bronze Anvil===
The first step in this process is to create an [[Molds|anvil mold]] via the [[Clay Forming|clay forming]] mechanic. The anvil is then cast using the [[casting]] mechanic. An anvil requires 900 units (9 ingots) of copper or bronze alloy to fill the mold. Once an anvil is cast and removed from the mold, it may be placed like any other block onto a solid surface. No tools are required to {{Breaking|break}} an anvil to pick it up and re-position it.


===Iron and Meteoric Iron Anvil=== <!--T:5-->
In the game, you will need a Tier (n-1) anvil to work Tier (n) materials, i.e. you will need a bronze (Tier 3) anvil to work iron (Tier 4) ingots.
 
===Copper (Tier 2) and Bronze (Tier 3) Anvil===

Anvils made out of iron or meteoric iron can not be cast like anvils out of other metals. The player first has to make the upper and lower part of the anvil separately, smithing them on a bronze anvil. Then, the two parts need to be welded together.
Anvils made out of iron or meteoric iron can not be cast like copper and bronze anvils since iron and meteoric iron cannot be melted in a crucible. The player first has to make the upper and lower part of the anvil separately, smithing them with a [[Special:MyLanguage/hammer|hammer]] on a bronze anvil. Then, the two parts need to be welded together with powdered [[Special:MyLanguage/borax|borax]].
<br>
 
To make a complete iron anvil, a total of 10 iron ingots are needed, 5 each for the anvil base and anvil top, as well as one powdered borax. One ingot amounts to 42 pixels added, and the anvil base and top need 196 and 210 pixels respectively.

====Anvil Base==== <!--T:7-->
====Anvil Base==== <!--T:7-->
Start the crafting process by placing a heated iron ingot on the anvil - bronze or higher anvil tier is needed. Select the anvil base and start hammering. Note that for the base, a total of 5 ingots need to be added, and there is at maximum 14 pixels worth room for error. This process might be easier when starting with one iron plate as the base, and then adding 3 more ingots, one at a time.<br>

To lessen the chance of wasting pixels - and thus ingots - it is necessary to add one ingot, flatten it out and only then add the next - and so forth. The space on which the next anvil will be added is always the same, and the player can make sure that this space is flat and below the maximum height limit of the recipe, which is 6 pixels, or 3 ingots stacked. Keep in mind that a new ingot added will only fill in the empty pixels in that specific space, so it is recommended to keep the ingot place as flat as possible. The ingot will however rise with the rest, meaning it will be added ''on top'' of the current surface.<br><br>

====Anvil Top==== <!--T:11-->
====Anvil Top==== <!--T:11-->
For the anvil top, follow the same process. However, keep in mind that for the top part, even with careful smithing, not even one pixel will be wasted. This means there is no margin for error, and any wasted pixels will result in a sixth ingot added to finish the item. As the top part is rather slim, a plate is not helpful as the smithing base.<br>

====Welding==== <!--T:14-->
After both the base and top are finished, heat both of them up in a forge. Once heated, first place the base part down on the ground. Take one portion of [[Borax|powdered borax]] and apply with a {{SneakClick}} on the placed base, then add the top part. Hammer until both parts are welded together, this should take about 12 hits.

==Usage== <!--T:15-->
The anvil is the work surface used for [[smithing]] [[metal]] [[Tools and Weapons|tools]] from ingots heated in a [[forge]]. When a heated ingot is placed on the anvil, a dialog box opens to allow the player to select the item to be crafted. Copper and Bronze items can be worked on any anvil, but iron items can only be worked on a bronze or iron anvil and steel items can only be worked on an iron anvil.

There is no need to craft steel anvils at the moment since there are no Tier 6 metals in the game.


===Special=== <!--T:16-->
===Special=== <!--T:16-->
An anvil cannot be smelted to recover the material used in creating the item, however since version 1.14, the player can use a chisel and anvil of the same metal type in the crafting grid to recover 8 ingots worth of metal. Keep in mind that both the anvil and the chisel will be destroyed in the process, meaning from the original 10 ingots, two will be permanently lost.<br>
