Blacksmith (Profession)

Blacksmith at work.

This article is about the profession. For the building, see Blacksmith (Building).

A blacksmith crafts tools for the citizens of a village to use as they work. Once a blacksmith building has been placed, a citizen may be assigned to it and begin making various tools.

Tool Production

Blacksmiths can create two different types of tools; iron and steel.

Iron Tools

Iron tools are the most basic type that can be created. Their only requirements are iron (which can be mined from the surface) and logs.

Steel Tools

Steel tools are advanced items that require more resources to craft. They do, however, last longer than iron tools.

To make a steel tool, the blacksmith uses iron, logs and coal, which can only be obtained via a mine.

Resource Flow

Process	Input	Uneducated Worker Output	Trading Value Change (Un-edu.)	Educated Worker Output	Trading Value Change (Edu.)
Iron Tools	1×Iron + 1×Logs	1×Iron Tool	1 profit	2×Iron Tool	9 profit
Steel Tools	1×Iron + 1×Logs + 1×Coal	1×Steel Tool	3 loss	2×Steel Tool	7 profit

Idle

When a blacksmith is not working to make new tools, he or she behave as though they were a laborer.

Educated

An educated blacksmith produces two tools per action, while an undeucated blacksmith produces only one. This doubles the value produced per resources used, as well as doubling production rate.
