advice
* Some items cannot be improved and will reflect that when the examine command gives no information for improvement: [[newbie]] [[starter kit]] tools, most building materials ([[Pile of dirt|dirt]], [[plank]]s, etc), [[yoyo]], [[raw materials]] (but can be combined with higher [[quality]] material to improve (at the expense of the higher quality material), unrepairable items]], etc.
* [[Unfinished item]]s can't be improved until finished. The <tt>improve</tt> [[Key bindings|keybind]] won't work on them, use <tt>finish</tt> instead.
==Tips==
Here's a few things you could do to help improve when doing smithing. It's very helpful to have a [[toolbelt]], with the [[toolbelt]] you can bind your number keys 1-5 with [[key bindings]] for toggling imping tools on your [[toolbelt]].
* Use the [[console]] and type "Bind 1 Activate_Tool1", then doing it 4 more times until you have your number keys 1-5 tied to the [[toolbelt]].
* After, use the [[console]] and type "Bind R Repair" and then "Bind I Improve".
You now have all of your [[key bindings]] set. Now drag the common imping tools to your [[toolbelt]] like a [[whetstone]] for sharpening, a [[pelt]] for polishing, a [[hammer]] for dents, and when tempering with water, have a [[small barrel]] of water or a [[waterskin]] in your inventory and drag the water onto the [[toolbelt]]. And as well for the lump you are using for imping, put that onto your [[toolbelt]].
So now you should have everything ready. When you have your item that you are going to imp in your inventory, drag your mouse over the item and press the number keys 1 through 5 to whatever next step of imping it needs. Then press "I" for improving with that tool, and "R" for repairing.
With this you are conveniently imping with minimal effort. Enjoy!
