Blacksmith

Blacksmith is one of the Production subclasses in Elder Tale.

Overview
Blacksmith is a basic subclass that processes metal to create a large array of items like various tools, weapons and armors. The diversity of the items craftable by a Blacksmith is among the highest of all Production subclasses, making it easy to find demand by both Adventurers and Earthlings, notably some other Production subclasses like Farmers and Carpenters. They can create the basics of various equipment such as swords, chainmail and plate armors but won’t be as good as its advanced counterparts Swordsmith and Armorers.

It is a common subclass for the Earthlings as it is almost guaranteed to find at least one Blacksmith taking care of the tools in every average-sized village except for small settlements or cold remote villages. Like the majority of People of the Earth, their level is fairly low because the demand for them doesn’t require advanced skills.

A player can become a blacksmith by purchasing an instruction manual from an NPC in a town zone.

A detailed article was written about this subclass in the Log Horizon Wednesday Vol.28.

Blacksmith Skills
Normal blacksmith skills include the forging and shaping of iron and other crude metal alloys, in order to produce swords, shields and other metal weapons and instruments.

After the Catastrophe, it was discovered that blacksmiths, along with other crafting subclasses, (Woodworker, Mechanic, etc), can apply their skills to create machines and inventions that were previously unheard of in Elder Tale. This Overskill is termed as Magical Engineering, as they combine magical aspects or components with scientific concepts.
