Hmm... no, I don't think I can. I just don't think you'd understand enough of what I said! No offense meant, friend. Why don't you practice bangin' out dents in armor first?

Blacksmithing Overview

Blacksmithing is a crafting skill often confused with Armorsmithing. Blacksmiths do not create armor, but can improve the protective capabilities of armor. Many Blacksmiths create items that can be used in Carpentry, Toolcrafting, Cheesemaking, and other skills.

Blacksmithing/Recipes

Blacksmithing Mechanics

Forge Locations

Serbule

A forge can be found in the enclosed section inside Serbule Keep. It is near the A-aisle player merchant stalls, next to a tanning rack, and belongs to Tadion.

Eltibule

There is a forge in Eltibule Keep, to the right as you come through the front gates. It is often used by Kalaba.

Red Wing Casino

The boiler near Dorimir Fangblade (near the Employee Entrance) can be used as a forge.

Rahu

A forge can be found in the center of the friendly section of the City of Rahu, up the stairs, next to the garden, tanning rack, and cotton gin.

Kur Mountains

A forge can be found at Ukorga's Northwestern Outpost. It is in the building with the Council Storage machine, right next to Janet Lews.

Ilmari

A forge can be found inside the northern gate of Amulna, next to the Work Order board.

New Prestonbule Cave

Toward the back of the cave, past the second portcullis, the orc Torgan works next to a forge. You can use the forge even if you don't know enough Orcish (Level 25 or higher) to communicate with him.

Fae Realm

There is a forge near Solgribue, the friendly troll in the main Fae settlement.

Povus

There are two forges in Povus. One is behind the building with Tremmond Blackhammer and is consecrated to Umrad, meaning besides ordinary Blacksmithing, Toolcrafting, Jewelry Crafting, and Armorsmithing, it can also be used to make Dwarven metal armor, a specialized type of metal armor. Another special forge is consecrated to Tast in the Orc encampment and is needed when crafting Orcish metal armor.

Wolf Cave

There is a forge consecrated to Norala the Huntress down one of the early side tunnels not far from the entrance. It is needed to forge metal armor for lycans. Like the other consecrated forges, it can also be used to make other items that require a regular forge.

Notable zones without forges: Anagoge Island, Serbule Hills, Sun Vale, and Gazluk, as well as the dungeons and caves not named here.
