Quest Steps

Step 1

It looks like you want to learn about military engineering. You'll learn about building strong defenses, strong weapons, and siegecraft. Some of what you learn will include other types of engineering but only engineers who have researched military techniques can build the strongest. Learning how to smelt metals will help you make tools and metal parts. You'll want to dig for some ore to get started so gather resources to make a shovel.

Obtain 4 Wooden Sticks (0/4)

Obtain 2 Timber (0/2)

Step 2

Craft a wooden shovel. You'll need it to gather ore. Wooden shovels can be crafted in your inventory or at a crafting table.

Craft 1 Wooden Shovel (0/1)

Step 3

You need some dirt and small stones to craft a furnace. Keep in mind that you can find small stones in dirt, so you may as well start shoveling!

Obtain 20 Dirt (0/20)

Obtain 18 Small Stone (0/18)

Step 4

You need a furnace to smelt the ore. You can craft a furnace using a crafting table.

Craft 1 Furnace (0/1)

Step 5

You are prepared for smelting but you don't have any ore. Go to a nearby deposit.

Find the marked ore vein

Step 6

There is ore in the ground here. Hopefully you still have your shovel with you because it's time to start digging!

Obtain 5 Ore (0/5)

Step 7

So now you have some metal ore. Good job! Use the furnace to craft your first ingot. Furnaces operate like crafting tables except they require fuel and the fire can be lit and doused. Many different items can be burnt for fuel.

Obtain 1 Metal Ingot (0/1)
