Overview

Overview

Blacksmiths have the ability to forge weapons. They can master the power to imbue weapons with elements of Fire, Earth, Wind and Water and also have the ability to increase the weapon damage further. Of course, Blacksmiths can also be based off raw physical power, and even have the highest melee damage among the other 2nd classes. A Battle Blacksmith's main skills revolve around the theme of self-buffing to increase damage. The main offensive skills are Mammonite and Cart Revolution, which both can be learned as a Merchant.

Builds

Builds

There are three common Blacksmith stat builds:

Battlesmith

A Battlesmith usually obtains all of the combat skills and no forging or refining skills. Superfluous smith skill points are spent towards maxing Merchant skills like Enlarge Weight Limit. The exception is level 1 Iron Tempering and Steel Tempering, which is needed for Ore Discovery let's them obtain a random ore for every monster they kill. Battlesmiths vary in stat builds, but most invest heavily in STR.

Battlesmith Stat Build

  • STR: 90-120
  • AGI: 50-70
  • VIT: 50-70
  • INT: 1-20
  • DEX: 50-60
  • LUK: 1-30

Weapon

Axes are generally more powerful and has a better ASPD modifier than Maces but maces gives the option of equipping shields. Currently, it's better to use these to benefit from Adrenaline Rush, but once Advanced Adrenaline Rush becomes available, daggers will be an option for specialized usage.

Pure Forger

A Pure Forger masters the art of forging weapons and therefore lacks skills in the combat department. It is not wise to make a Pure Forger as a first character, since leveling one is difficult.

  • Soloing and partying: Difficult due to the lack of offensive and defensive skills.
  • Leveling with a tank: Possible at lower levels, but quickly becomes ineffective after becoming a Blacksmith.
  • Leeching from an even share party: The preferred way, and probably the fastest way of leveling a Pure Forger.

It is suggested to use a Priest with Gloria and Blessing to add more points to DEX and LUK before forging.

Pure Forger Stat Build

  • STR: 9
  • AGI: 1
  • VIT: 1
  • INT: 1
  • DEX: 99
  • LUK: 99

To maximize the chances of forging, these currently available equipments are suggested

Pet

  • 9003.png Pet Poporing - Cordial or Loyal intimacy gives +2 LUK, +10% Poison Element Resistance

Battle Forger

Using high DEX among other stats, the Battle Forger works well with level 3 and 4 weapons without sacrificing a great deal of forging chances (though a Battle Forger may also want to include LUK for forge support and crit chance.) Combining weapon forging with weapon buffing skills makes the Battle Forger a respectable main or first character; able to obtain profit and function in a party.

In spite of the perks and dualities, the Battle Forger is often seen as an "inferior" build to it's siblings. While it is true that Battlesmith is more effective at buffing weapon based jobs, and Pure Forger will generate more profits; the margin of difference becomes smaller as the build becomes more geared to a single extreme. It is not advisable to use a Battle Forger if your intentions in making a Blacksmith are purely for profit or weapon buffing. Battle Forgers also have a dilemma of having to choose between the weapon types to forge and the buffs to use, so it is advised that a Battle Forger pays attention to their server's most profitable weapon, or what they may need for other characters.

Basic Battle Forger Build (lv99)

  • STR: 74+6 (73+7 with Hilt Binding)
  • AGI: 50+2
  • DEX: 88+12
  • INT: 16+2
  • VIT: 25+6

Ore Refining Materials

Ore Refining Hunting Guide

Blacksmiths can refine Iron Ore into Iron, Iron and Coal into Steel, and elemental ores into elemental stones. Each attempt to refine material consumes 1 Mini Furnace.

For material lists see the list below or the corresponing skill: Iron Tempering, Steel Tempering and Enchanted Stone Craft.

Alternatively: There is an NPC Uwe Kleine , 216, 180 in Einbroch who can refine Coal at a price of 30 Jubilee and 4 Large Jellopy.

1. In order to refine materials into metals you must have all of the necessary materials in your main inventory (not your cart). Then you use a furnace. When you use the Mini Furnace it's gone for good, it doesn't matter if you actually refine something or not.

2. A window will open with a list of items that can be created. Select which item you wish to refine from the list and click 'OK' or press enter.

3. Another window will appear detailing which materials you'll be using up. Regardless of if the refining succeeds or fails the items on the list will be lost if you continue.

4. If the refining succeeds the newly created item will appear in your inventory.

Weapon Forging

Weapon Forging

Blacksmiths can forge weapons from different materials. The materials used decide the weapon to be created as well as any additional properties, such as element, the weapon will have. Forged weapons do not have Card Slots. Rods, Bows, Instruments, Books and Katars cannot be forged, nor can level 4 weapons.

For material lists see the list below or the corresponding Smith weapon skill: Smith Dagger, Smith Sword, Smith Two-handed Sword, Smith Axe, Smith Knucklebrace, Smith Mace or Smith Spear.

When forging a weapon there are 3 available slots for modifying items. Items such as Flame Heart, Mystic Frozen, Rough Wind and Great Nature can be used to imbue the weapon with the Fire, Water, Wind and Earth elements respectively. A weapon may only have one element at a time and using more than one elemental stone will cause the forge to fail. Slots may also be fitted with Star Crumbs. One, two, and three Star Crumbs will (respectively) add +5, +10, and +40 seeking damage to all attacks from the weapon. The extra damage cannot miss and ignores defense.

Process

1. Make sure that all of the necessary items are in your inventory (not your cart). Then use the necessary hammer for the weapon level you wish to create (Iron Hammer for Lv1, Golden Hammer for Lv2 and Oridecon Hammer for Lv3 weapons). Once you click OK (or press enter) the hammer will disappear even if you quit.

2. A list of weapons you can forge will appear. Select the weapon you wish to create and continue.

3. A second window will appear detailing which items will be used up by the forging attempt. There are also 3 spaces to place Elemental Stones and/or Star Crumbs.

4. Drag and drop the extra materials from your inventory to the slots to add them to the weapon. Even if the forging attempt fails the items on the list as well as those in the slots will be lost.

5. If the forge is successful the newly created weapon will appear in your inventory.

Item Look & Feel

1. When a weapon is forged successfully it's name will have the forger's name attached.
Result: John's Sword

2. Normally the forger's name will appear in blue, however if the character that forged the weapon has been deleted the forger's name is lost, and the weapons becomes nameless.
Result: Nameless's Sword

3. When imbued with an element the name of the element will appear before the Weapon's name and after the forger's name.
Result: John's Fire Sword

4. When imbued with one or more Star Crumb the term 'Very' will appear before the forgers name for each Star Crumb used followed by 'Strong'.
Result: Very Very Very Strong John's Sword

5. When imbued with both an element and Star Crumbs the weapon's name will follow the naming conventions in the order Star Crumbs, Forger, Element, Weapon Name.
Result: Very Very Strong John's Fire Sword

Ranking System

Ranking System

For Forgers there is a system in which you are ranked amongst all your peers of who can make the most weapons.

  • Rank Point +1: For upgrading a level 1 weapon that you have forged to +10.
  • Rank Point +10: For successfully creating a level 3 weapon that contains 3 stones (either 2 star crumbs and an elemental stone, or three star crumbs).
  • Rank Point +25: For upgrading a level 2 weapon that you have forged to +10.
  • Rank Point +1000: For upgrading a level 3 weapon that you have forged to +10.

You can check Blacksmith ranks via usage of /blacksmith command. A weapon created by ranked blacksmith will deal an extra +10 seeking damage (pierces defense and never misses).

If 30 days have passed without the ranker logging at least once, it will be taken out of the rank list until they log again. Not a single point will be lost in this process.
