**Blacksmith** is a career you can assign to your villager. In this job, you can use schemas to create weapons and armor for your own villagers or to sell to other villagers. Blacksmiths can also scrap weapons for raw materials.

*"This is an artisan career and cannot begin work without materials from Explorers, Herbalists, and Crafters."*

The following costumes give +5% crafting speed bonus when applied to a villager of the Blacksmith career:

* Galaxy
* Steampunk
* Diver

## Crafting

Blacksmiths can craft equipment for Warriors using recipes learned from schemas. Blacksmiths start with no learned recipes, but can learn any recipe from any village, so long as they purchase the schema.

## Potency

*See also: Equipment Potency*

Equipment crafted by blacksmiths will be generated with a potency between 50% to 150%. This is mainly luck-based. However, the chances of having an equipment with low potency can be lowered by having a higher skill level.

The base value for all equipment is 100%, having a higher potency will add buffs such as **+1** Strength or **+5** Lighting Resistance. The opposite will also be true for lower potency equipment, the equipment may gain debuffs such as **-1** Speed or **-10** Mitigation.

## Scrapping

In addition to crafting equipment, blacksmiths can also scrap items for raw materials such as Rusted Steel and Silver Wrist Hook. These materials are used to craft crystals by crafters. Some materials can only be obtained by scapping a certain type of equipment.

Possible materials for all equipment include: Rusted Steel, Crystallized Tooth, Silver Wrist Hook, and rarely Shadow Slime. Materials that can only be obtained by scrapping Amulets  include: Dark Crystallized Tooth, Dark Steel, Golden Wrist Hook, and Galactic Slime.

Most equipment can be scrapped, although some types of equipment can't be scrapped due to possible exploits (*such as buying an infinite amount of equipment from a village weapons shop to scrap them*). These include:

* Common Equipment (i.e. Wooden Axe , Rusted Mace , etc.)

* Equipment that could be bought in a village shop (i.e. Fang Club , Frozen Stick Shield, etc.)

* Event Equipment (i.e Saul's Cursed Hammer, Cheshire Staff, etc. *Possibly due to a bug*)

## Repairs

Blacksmiths can repair weapons and armor with low durability using steel, which is found through exploration or purchased from the local battle shop for  **15**. The time it takes to repair an item depends on the item being repaired, and the skill of the blacksmith, which reduces the time by 0.2 minutes per durability point. They can sell their services to other villagers using the Maintenance Market.

Due to the Warrior Carrer overhaul, which no longer uses the durability of equipment, this function is currently nonfunctional.
