The Smithing Event has revolutionized crafting in Grow a Garden, introducing powerful new recipes that can transform your farming strategy. Whether you're hunting for exclusive pets or crafting game-changing gear, mastering these recipes will give you a massive advantage over other players.
What Makes the Smithing Event Special?
The Smithing Event introduces four dedicated crafting stations around a central furnace, each specializing in different item categories. You'll find the Blacksmith NPC standing guard near these stations, ready to help you forge incredible items using Coal as your primary ingredient.
Important
These crafting stations are temporary! Once the event ends, you won't be able to access these exclusive recipes, making this your only chance to craft these powerful items.
How to Get Coal for Crafting
Before diving into recipes, you need to understand Coal acquisition. Coal comes in four rarities, each with specific drop rates from the Digging Event:
You can also obtain Coal by submitting items at the Smith's Hut in the center of your server. Submit any combination of gear, fruit, and eggs to receive random Coal rewards.

Pro Crafting Strategies
Prioritize Your Coal Usage
Start with Common Coal recipes to build your foundation, then work toward Divine Coal items as you accumulate resources. The Pet Shard Forger should be your ultimate goal since it provides ongoing crafting benefits.
Batch Your Crafting Sessions
Since crafting takes time, start multiple items simultaneously. Begin with longer crafts like Yarrow (1 hour) or Thundelbringer (75 minutes), then fill remaining stations with shorter recipes.
Focus on Multi-Harvest Seeds
The three craftable seeds are all multi-harvest, making them superior long-term investments compared to single-harvest alternatives. Even with high initial costs, they'll pay for themselves over time.
Warning
Coal has limited viability! Use your Coal quickly for crafting rather than hoarding it, as it may expire or become less valuable over time.
Maximizing Your Event Success
To get the most from the Smithing Event, combine these recipes with other current events. Check our guides on the Grow a Garden Safari Harvest Event for additional opportunities to gather crafting materials.
