77 Smithing Flux is not crafted at any player station and is not a random drop from enemies. Reaching the hidden Smuggler base through the Underground Network quest is therefore a prerequisite for any build path that leans heavily on Smithing Flux.

99 How it is Used
1010  
1111 Smithing Flux is referenced across the launch build as an input to higher-tier weapon and armor recipes. Specific recipe quantities have not been published in any of the current community databases, so exact per-recipe counts are best verified at the Weaponsmith Workshop and Armor and Clothing Workshop recipe panels in-game.

1313 Why it Matters
1414  
1515 The Smugglers Provisioner position as the only vendor makes Smithing Flux one of the bigger gates on advanced crafting. Players who focus their reputation on a different faction first (Brethren for ships, Buccaneers for pirate gear) will typically hit a wall when the Weaponsmith panel asks for Smithing Flux and they have no Smuggler reputation to purchase it.
1616  
1717 The practical path is to at least push Smuggler reputation to Rank 1 through the Underground Network main chain and keep a small stockpile of Smithing Flux on hand as more advanced recipes come online. Each unit costs Piastres directly, so the only real cost is time spent farming Piastres, not specific quest progress or gear tier.

2626 Beyond the base material there is Improved Smithing Flux, a refined version used by the top tier of weapon and armor recipes. Like the base flux it ties back to the Smugglers of Port Royal supply chain, so building Smuggler reputation pays off twice: it unlocks the base Smithing Flux stock and feeds into the improved variant later in a run.
2727  
2828 Because flux is vendor-only and never drops or crafts at a player station, keep a buffer stock whenever you visit the Smugglers of Port Royal Provisioner. Each unit is 10 Piastre, so a few hundred Piastres covers most of an armor set's flux cost in one shopping trip rather than forcing repeated returns to the Hidden Smuggler Base.
