Smithing - Getting Started

You've decided to become a Blacksmith but you don't even own a pickaxe? To the Mines! Ha, not yet actually. Head over to Hoppson in Firlun instead.

"Don't come on Friday" - Hoppson at Work Hard, Work Metal (Open 8:00-20:00 // Sat-Thurs)

Also, don't forget to pop next door and chat with Milland the Armor Smith who works at, the very creatively named, Milland Armour. You'll need to get a grasp on Blacksmithing before you can specialize into armor crafting but it never hurts to get to know the neighbours!

Back to Hoppson, a man of many talents, who works hard! Inside his shop you'll find both a Smelter and a Weapon Crafting station.



But it's not like you can just get started right away, this is a profession after all! You don't even own a pickaxe, remember?

Talk to our main man Hoppson and, after getting your hands a little dirty, you'll be off down the path of metallurgy.

..

Whoa! You've already completed the task Hoppson set before you and acquired your very own pickaxe!? Well, now you can start to call yourself a Blacksmith, I guess. In that case, there is more you should know.

With that trusty pickaxe you can now mine small chunks of Iron and Charcoal but first you'll need to locate a mineable surface.

Lucky for you, Firlun is built right on top of a rich deposit! Take a stroll to the other side of Coswin Carpentry, east of the Blacksmith, and head down the alley. You're looking for exposed WHITE rock. Whip out that trusty pickaxe and get to work. Any white rock will do, give it a go.



Head back to the Smelter with your Ore and Charcoal and toss them in. At first, you'll only be able to make some basics but that's enough to get you started! You never know, some of the goods you create might be just what other residents are looking for.

This is your life now! Remember, you chose this. It's all work, no play. Except NOT ON FRIDAY!!!!
