Starsmith Idle Gear Crafting - 72 Legendary Pieces, 18 Series

Starsmith Idle Gear Crafting: 72 Legendary Pieces, 18 Series

Starsmith Idle gear crafting is the game's long-term collection chase: the official CrazyGames listing says you can "smelt ore into powerful gear" and "Craft and collect 72 pieces of legendary gear across 18 series." This wiki page covers what is officially confirmed, what is not published, and how to approach the chase without trusting fabricated gear lists. Verified against the official listing on 2026-08-31; re-checked 2026-09-22.

What is Starsmith Idle gear crafting?

Starsmith Idle gear crafting is the system where you turn materials into collectible legendary equipment. The official listing describes smelting ore into powerful gear and collecting 72 legendary pieces across 18 series. It is a collection chase, not a single upgrade path, and the exact per-piece effects are not published in the listing.

Confirmed basics

The table is deliberately sparse. The official text gives totals and material sources, but it does not publish names, stats, craft costs, or a full item list. Any page that claims to have the complete 72-entry list with stats should be treated as unverified unless it can show an official or reproducible data source.

How many legendary gear pieces are in Starsmith Idle?

There are 72 legendary gear pieces across 18 series, according to the official CrazyGames listing. That is the only confirmed count. A per-series average of four pieces is simple arithmetic, not an official announcement, so do not treat "4 per series" as a confirmed rule.

What the 72 / 18 numbers mean

The 72 and 18 figures define the size of the collection. They do not prove:

• how many pieces each series contains;
• whether every series has the same number of pieces;
• whether pieces are crafted in a fixed order;
• whether duplicate pieces can drop or be crafted;
• what each piece does.

For planning, use 72 as the long-term target and 18 as the number of collection groups. Track your own confirmed progress in a notebook or spreadsheet rather than relying on a scraped list.

How do you get materials for Starsmith Idle gear crafting?

Two material inputs are confirmed: forge production and expedition returns. Forge production ties into the core blacksmith loop, while expeditions return materials from dungeon-style runs. The official text does not publish drop rates, material quantities, or per-piece costs, so any exact farming route is community theory.

Forge production path

The core loop is tap the anvil, earn coins, and build forges and hammers. Forge production is the confirmed in-base material source for gear crafting. If you are early in the game, expect this path to be slow until your production stabilises. Because the game is an idle clicker, offline and idle earnings also matter over time, but the official listing does not tie a specific offline rate to gear materials.

Expedition return path

Expeditions are confirmed as a second material source. They are dungeon-style runs that can return materials, relics, and battle tales. The official listing does not say which expeditions are best for gear materials, how often materials drop, or whether specific series require specific expedition materials. Use expeditions as a parallel source, not as a guaranteed shortcut.

Is there a Starsmith Idle gear list with names and stats?

No official gear list with names and stats is published in the sources checked for this wiki. The official listing gives only the 72-piece and 18-series totals. Community-made "all items" lists for this game should be treated as fabricated unless they include a verifiable data source.

Why scraped gear lists are unreliable

Gear crafting is a collection system with many possible item names and stat combinations. A list can look plausible while being invented. Warning signs include:

• no source for how the list was extracted;
• exact stats for every piece but no explanation of the data source;
• inconsistent totals that do not add up to 72;
• series names that do not match in-game text;
• claims about gear effects that the official listing does not describe.

What you can safely track

You can safely track your own progress without publishing a fake list. Use columns for series number, piece number, crafted status, and materials spent. Leave name and effect blank until the game or a reliable community data source confirms them. This keeps your notes useful without spreading unverified item data.

Does Starsmith Idle gear carry over after Succession?

It is unconfirmed whether gear survives Succession. The official text does not state that crafted gear is reset or preserved. A structural read suggests crafted pieces are permanent collection progress rather than repeatable coin upgrades, but that is an interpretation, not an official guarantee.

What is confirmed about permanence

Confirmed: the official listing frames gear as something you craft and collect. It does not describe gear as a temporary boost that expires each run. That makes gear feel like a long-term goal. It is not confirmed whether Succession prestige resets gear, materials, or collection progress.

How to plan around the uncertainty

Do not assume either outcome. Before a Succession, record your crafted pieces and current materials. If you are close to a milestone, consider whether the risk of losing progress matters more than the Renown gain. The Succession and Renown guide covers prestige planning, but gear persistence remains an open question until official or reproducible data confirms it.

What should you prioritize when crafting gear in Starsmith Idle?

Prioritise confirmed progress over speculation: keep forge production and expedition returns running, craft when you have confirmed materials, and avoid spending based on unverified stat lists. Because per-piece costs and effects are not published, the safest priority is steady collection progress and careful record-keeping.

Practical crafting priority framework

1. Keep the core loop active. Forge production is a confirmed material source. If production stalls, gear crafting stalls with it.
2. Run expeditions as a second source. Expedition returns are confirmed materials. Use them alongside forge output rather than replacing it.
3. Craft when materials are confirmed. Do not chase a piece because a random list says it has the best stat. Confirm the piece exists in your own game first.
4. Track totals, not invented names. Count how many pieces you have crafted out of 72. Record series progress out of 18 if the game exposes it.
5. Pause before Succession if gear persistence matters to you. Since persistence is unconfirmed, record progress before any prestige action.

Example decision flow

Example: you have enough materials for one craft, and you are deciding between pushing deeper into expeditions or staying on the forge screen. Because both are confirmed material sources, check which one is currently producing the materials you are missing. If you do not know what you are missing, do not spend based on a fabricated list. Craft only when the game confirms the recipe and the material cost.

For the wider loop, see the Forge Rush guide, the Expeditions guide, and the Guides hub.

Verified mechanics vs. unverified community strategy

Community strategy can still be useful, but it should be labelled. If a video, forum post, or wiki claims a specific drop rate or "best gear" ranking, ask whether the creator can show the in-game data. Without that, treat it as a hypothesis.

Starsmith Idle gear crafting FAQ

How many gear pieces are in Starsmith Idle?

The official listing says 72 legendary gear pieces across 18 series. That is the confirmed total. An average of four pieces per series is arithmetic only, not an official statement. Do not treat any per-series count as confirmed until the game or a reliable data source shows it.

What materials do I need for Starsmith Idle gear crafting?

Two material inputs are confirmed: forge production and expedition returns. The official text does not publish exact material names, quantities, drop rates, or per-piece costs. Use the forge loop and expeditions together, and treat any exact cost table as unverified unless it comes from a reproducible in-game source.

Is there a complete Starsmith Idle gear list?

No official complete gear list with names and stats is published in the sources checked. The official listing gives totals only. Community lists that claim to include all 72 pieces should be treated as fabricated unless they show a verifiable extraction method. Track your own crafted pieces instead.

Does Starsmith Idle gear survive Succession?

It is unconfirmed. The official text does not say whether Succession resets gear, materials, or collection progress. A structural read suggests crafted pieces are permanent collection progress, but that is not an official guarantee. Record your gear progress before using Succession so you can compare before and after.

Can I craft lower-tier gear?

The official text describes legendary gear only. No lower crafting tiers are described in the sources checked. That does not prove lower tiers do not exist, but it means any claim about common, rare, or epic gear tiers is unverified. Focus on the confirmed legendary collection totals.

What should I do if I see a "complete gear list" online?

Check whether it provides a source, whether its totals add up to 72 pieces and 18 series, and whether it matches what you see in your own game. If it shows exact stats with no extraction method, treat it as unverified. Do not spend materials based on an unverified list.

Where to go next

Gear crafting is a long chase, so the best next step is to strengthen the systems that feed it. Keep your forge production active, run expeditions for returns, and use the Guides hub to connect gear crafting to the core loop, FORGE RUSH, and Succession. When you are ready to play or check the official description yourself, open the official Starsmith Idle listing on CrazyGames.
