Upgrading Armor and Gear at the Smithing Transform Station

guide

The Smithing Transform station is the crafting station used to upgrade armor and gear in Hazen 'n Stuff. It works like a smithing table: you place a template or catalyst, a base piece of equipment, and an additional material, and the station outputs the upgraded result. The mod adds 182 recipes to this station, covering full armor sets, individual pieces, and standalone upgrades.

How the Station Works

Every Smithing Transform recipe follows the same three-slot pattern. The first slot holds a rune, mold, or other catalyst. The second slot holds the base item being upgraded. The third slot holds the material that completes the transformation. The output is always a new, stronger item.

Upgrading Infestation Gear

The Infestation set upgrades into the Abberant Predator set. Each piece uses the same three ingredients: a Shadow Rune, the matching Infestation piece, and Mithril Weave.

Upgrading Blazeborne Gear

The Blazeborne set becomes the Arbitrium set. These recipes all require a Divine Mold, the matching Blazeborne piece, and Arcane Essence.

Upgrading School Armor

School armor pieces upgrade into the Archevoker set using an Evocation Rune, the matching school armor piece, and Arcane Cloth. The base pieces are drawn from the school armor tags rather than named items, so any armor in those tags can serve as the base.

  • Evocation Rune + school boots + Arcane Cloth -> Archevoker Boots
  • Evocation Rune + school chestplate + Arcane Cloth -> Archevoker Coat
  • Evocation Rune + school helmet + Arcane Cloth -> Archevoker Hat
  • Evocation Rune + school leggings + Arcane Cloth -> Archevoker Leggings

Upgrading Netherite Battlemage Gear

The Netherite Battlemage set upgrades into Atlas's set. Each recipe uses Leather, the matching Netherite Battlemage piece, and Black Dye.

Upgrading Wizard Gear

Wizard armor can branch into two different sets. The Bounty Hunter set uses an Archery Rune with the matching Wizard piece and Arcane Essence. The Cosmic Scholar set uses a Cosmic Rune with the matching Wizard piece and Arcane Essence.

Standalone Upgrades

Some recipes upgrade a single item rather than a full set.

Spirit Infusion Alternatives

Three of the standalone upgrades can also be produced through Spirit Infusion instead of the Smithing Transform. Strengthened becomes Singularity, Abomination becomes Absolute, and Reinforced becomes Radiance. This gives you a second route to each of those results if you have access to Spirit Infusion.
