We have all had to use the services of a smith, but have you wondered just

To get from level 0 to level 1 (10% efficiency to 20%), you need 30 SG points. An art with 4,000 repair cost will give you exactly 1 point. Trainee smiths will often have customers who will partly pay for the repairs to help cover the costs.

Smith level	Efficiency / cost of repair	Cost to smith	Time spent (hours)
0-1	10% for 10%	108 000	30
1-2	20% for 20%	160 000	50
2-3	30% for 30%	238 000	85
3-4	40% for 40%	348 000	145
4-5	50% for 50%	490 000	245
5-6	60% for 60%	664 000	415
6-7	70% for 70%	852 000	710
7-8	80% for 80%	964 000	1205

Total: 3 824 000 and 2 885 hours (Just over 120 days)

Investing in the smith will cost you 3,824,000, we will calculate how many arts you’ll need to send to a max smith for the same amount. We will assume you send arts to a max smith for 101% of the costs.

We will assume the average repair cost for 1 full AP battle is 941 . This is assuming a level 15 in seasonal arts (2 rings of cold, sword of cold, bow of light, clover of fortune), as well as extended durability flame arts and obsidian shield. We will ignore min AP battles as we just discard those arts rather than repair.

You would have to do 406,376 full AP battles to pay 3,824,000 in extra smithing costs, of course this figure is less if you use more expensive arts such as pirate set. As an example, Algor has done approximately 123,000 combats.

Smith level	Time x cost covered by smith (cost covered by customer)	Cost to smith
0	30 х 4000	120 000
1	50 х 3600 (10%)	160 000
2	85 х 3200 (20%)	272 000
3	145 х 2600 (35%)	377 000
4	245 х 1800 (45%)	441 000
5	415 х 1680 (58%)	697 200
6	710 х 1280 (68%)	908 800
7	1205 х 800 (80%)	964 000

Total: 3 960 000 and 2 885 hours

At max smith, we will look at 2 scenarios and see how quickly you can recover your costs.

90% repair for 101% costs - 40 profit per hour of repair

90% repair for 105% costs - 200 profit per hour of repair

At 101%, you will need to work for 99,000 hours (3,960,000/40), 4,125 days of non-stop work (over 11 years).

At 105%, you’ll need to work for 19,800 hours, or only(!) 825 days (About 2.25 years). However given all the max smiths who are available, you will unlikely get much work at 105%.

If you only work 8 hours a day, it will take approximately 34 years (at 101%) and almost 7 years (at 105%).
