Smelting

 is a gameplay mechanic allowing players to craft new items from generic item pools (such as specific cosmetic groups) or specific outcomes. Crafting materials are gained from shops such as Based Hardware and mechanics like bartering, milling and hunting.

Items can be smelted with the  command. Trying to smelt an item without the required ingredients will make ENDLESS WAR list the item's recipe and the items the player is missing.
