Weapon repair, forging & item economy

Choose between a repair, a recruit and an exam

Before spending, compare three jobs for the same stock: keeping a deployed weapon usable, meeting a wanted recruit's item/payment condition, and buying the license for your next class plan. This priority check is an editorial budgeting method; it does not introduce an unverified shop price or crafting recipe.

1. Check which weapon you actually intend to use in the next battle and read its displayed repair requirement.
2. Open the wanted recruit's route record before selling or consuming the last copy of a named item.
3. Check whether the intended exam is available before reserving money for its license.
4. Put the items you already own in Inventory & costs. Add the recruit or class goal in its existing planner, then inspect the shared shortages.
5. Recheck the in-game total at the shop. The wiki's license prices below are a dated observed stock snapshot, not an unlimited supply promise.

If an item appears in your inventory but you cannot consume it from that view, follow Use a healing item below. If the blacksmith is unavailable, check the reported unlock before looking for a nonexistent repair button.

Repair before the next match

The blacksmith opens at Renown 4. Normal attacks preserve durability; Combat Arts spend the amount shown in their menu. At the smithy, select a weapon and read the repair or refine requirements before committing materials. A broken weapon can be repaired. Pocket Tactics’ repair guide ↗

Prioritize weapons used by your deployed party. Compare repair costs against your next recruitment payment and exam purchase. Material names alone do not establish a recipe.

Use a healing item

Select the unit, move to the intended tile, then choose Items, select the item, press A and choose Use. Item use takes that unit’s action. The Y inventory view is not the consumption menu. This sequence is reported by bo3 ↗.

Consumable records

bo3’s item guide ↗ supports this limited set of item functions and locations. Its Pure Water entry explicitly lacks a confirmed healing effect. Prologue, Part I and Part III chest records must stay separate.

Exam licenses

These prices and stock counts are visible in IGN’s public guide at 10:30–11:03 ↗. They are one shop snapshot, not a guarantee of restocking or universal prices. Master and Advanced license prices are not established in this table.

Accessory record

Serenes Forest’s preview analysis ↗ identifies that effect in a chest-reward scene. No stat bonus or additional effect is inferred.

Find a reward or keep an item for recruitment

Use Paralogues & deadline quests for all nine named battle rewards and their route windows. Use Recruitment database for the item quantities required by the twelve detailed recruits. Use Dungeon guide & Keys of the Diadem to locate a dungeon by region and distinguish its Part I recommendation from later visits.

Those cross-links are deliberate: a single item may be useful as equipment, a recruitment payment or a crafting input. Check the intended use before selling your last copy.

Forging and materials

Crates, mineral deposits and dungeons supply materials. The smithy lists each repair and refinement recipe; stronger weapons may need rarer inputs. A Karma-shard boon can reduce blacksmith prices. Exact recipes, discount percentages and a complete shop inventory remain open. Repair, refinement and discount reporting ↗

This is a seven-item reference plus the connected reward tables, not a complete item encyclopedia. Weapon might, hit, weight, uses, sell values and enhancement branches still need exact item-screen evidence. The official update note mentions additional series weapons, but does not name all of their unlock points. Nintendo update notes ↗
