A propane torch and welding mask

Metalworking

Metalworking is a skill which allows a player to barricade windows and doors, craft metal structures and containers, repair car parts, and disassemble many metallic objects in the world.

Basic requirements

Equipment

• A propane torch and welding mask are required for construction and disassembly.
• Welding Rods are required for construction of items.
• A propane tank can be used to refill propane torches with fuel. Disassembly now consumes fuel after the 41.78 patch.

Materials

Materials used in metalworking can be found in containers throughout the world, or obtained by disassembling objects. These materials include:

• Metal Sheet
• Small Metal Sheet
• Metal Bar
• Metal Pipe
• Scrap Metal
• Wire

Other requirements

Unless a character has started with the Metalworker occupation, they will also need to read the relevant metalworking magazines before items can be constructed.

Getting started

Before training

Due to the scarcity of material, if a higher level is desired it's important to maximize XP gain by reading the Metalworking skill books.

• Metalwork Vol. 1 (Levels 1-2)
• Metalwork Vol. 2 (Levels 3-4)
• Metalwork Vol. 3 (Levels 5-6)
• Metalwork Vol. 4 (Levels 7-8)
• Metalwork Vol. 5 (Levels 9-10)

Early levels

Metal barricades can be constructed at Level 0, without reading any recipe magazines or using welding rods. These barricades have much more HP than planks, making them an excellent choice for fortifying windows and doors.

Product	XP Gained	Skill(s)	Recipe	Ingredient 1	Ingredient 2	Ingredient 3	Ingredient 4
Barricade (Metal Bars)	1.5 MW	none		Propane Torch (1 units) (keep)	Welder Mask (keep)	One of: Door Window	Metal Bar x3 (consumed)
Barricade (Metal Sheet)	1.5 MW	none		Propane Torch (1 units) (keep)	Welder Mask (keep)	One of: Door Window	Metal Sheet x1 (consumed)

Gaining XP and materials

Disassembly

With the propane torch and welding mask equipped, objects in the world can be disassembled by right-clicking. Depending on the skill level, one of three things can happen:

1. Regular materials + scrap metal will be awarded
2. Only scrap metal will be awarded (partial failure)
3. No items will be awarded (total failure)

The full experience amount will be given in all cases.

Trivia

• Metal constructions can be destroyed with fire.
• It was originally planned to have blacksmith^Removed! skill in addition to metalworking for build 34. They were briefly implemented in the internal build of the game, with some items such as Smithing Magazines^Removed! and tiles still being in game, however it was toned down and postponed with including the smelting part.
