To complete orders in the Royal Match Merge Smith event, clear regular match-3 stages to earn forge energy, tap generators on the event board to spawn raw materials, and combine matching items into higher-tier tools to fulfill active customer requests. Fulfilling these requests advances milestone meters that award coins, unlimited lives, and puzzle boosters.
The Merge Smith Gameplay Loop
Merge Smith runs as a limited-time secondary board alongside standard puzzle progression. Operating the forge board requires event energy, which is earned exclusively by beating standard and hard match-3 levels. Failing regular puzzle levels stops your energy supply, halting your ability to spawn new materials until you pass stages.
Once inside the workshop, follow this core operational loop:
- Check the Order Queue: Review the two or three character requests displayed at the top of the event screen to determine which item branches to build.
- Spend Energy on Generators: Tap the corresponding generator to place a Tier 1 material onto an open grid space.
- Merge Matching Pairs: Drag and drop two identical items of the same tier onto each other to produce a single item of the next tier.
- Submit Completed Items: Tap the completed item to fulfill the order, claim milestone points, and cycle a new request into the queue.
Unlocking Tiles and Managing Board Space
Gridlock is the primary obstacle in Merge Smith. The workshop board has a limited number of tiles, and filling every space with unmergeable items prevents generators from dispensing materials.
- Clear Cobwebbed Tiles First: Several board spaces start locked beneath cobwebs. Cobwebbed items cannot be moved, but they clear permanently when you drag a matching free item onto them. Prioritize crafting items that match cobwebbed squares to expand your active grid as early as possible.
- Organize by Branch: Keep generators in designated corners and align crafting paths along specific edges—such as blades on the left and armor along the bottom. This prevents clutter and leaves central tiles open for generator output.
- Avoid Selling Items Early: Selling an excess item yields minimal coins while permanently deleting the energy invested into reaching that crafting tier. Only sell an item if the board is completely full and no valid merges exist.
Crafting Lines and Generator Upgrades
Each item family originates from a dedicated generator. When you receive duplicate generator pieces from event milestones, merge them together to create upgraded dispensers that produce higher-tier base items directly.
| Item Line | Primary Generator | Progression Path | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forged Blades | Anvil | Ore Nugget → Iron Ingot → Dagger → Shortsword → Broadsword | Fulfills weapon orders across low and mid tiers |
| Protective Armor | Armor Mold | Scrap Metal → Rivets → Bracers → Breastplate → Royal Shield | Satisfies knight requests requiring multi-step upgrades |
| Regal Relics | Jewelry Chest | Polished Gem → Ring → Royal Amulet → Scepter → Crown | Yields high milestone points for rare item requests |
Generators have a tap limit and enter a temporary cooldown once depleted. Plan your merges around active cooldown timers, or focus on a secondary generator line while waiting for primary dispensers to recharge.
Milestone Chest Rewards
Turning in orders steadily fills the milestone progress bar. Completing each milestone unlocks reward chests containing resources that feed directly back into standard level progression:
- In-Game Boosters: Rockets, TNT barrels, and Light Balls for mid-level clearing.
- Pre-Level Power-Ups: Starting Hammers, Arrows, and Jester Hats.
- Sustained Play Resources: Coin bundles and 30-to-60-minute unlimited life timers.
To maximize milestone gains before the event ends, focus on one high-tier order at a time. Work on shared item lines whenever multiple requests ask for the same weapon or armor branch, allowing single generator tap sessions to advance multiple orders simultaneously.

Good guide for Royal Match players. The early game part was useful.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Royal Match articles next.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
