Forge skate blades, strap them up, line them for warmth, sharpen them at your workshop — then glide across frozen lakes!
- 11 blade metals across 4 progression tiers — from bone to steel, with configurable bridging metals
- 3 strap types (rawhide, leather, fur) that affect off-ice mobility and hunger
- 4 lining upgrades for warmth and hunger reduction — applied post-craft, no recipes needed
- Sharpening system — portable whetstone for field repairs, workshop jig for heavy maintenance
- Ice physics — speed boost on ice, durability drain, particle effects
- Fully configurable — toggle individual metals on/off to match your server's progression style
- Forge blades — smith metal on an anvil (or craft bone blades in the grid)
- Assemble skates — combine blade + strap material + sticks in the crafting grid
- Add lining (optional) — hold skates + lining material, right-click to upgrade
- Skate! — equip in foot slot and step onto ice
