Smith Story 📖

Smith appears to be an ordinary blacksmith running a regular smithery in an average City. However, his reputation for crafting excellent weapons has brought customers from across the wilderness.

He is known for forging custom weapons, including guns and swords, for the right price. His understanding of weapons is unusually precise, especially when it comes to weight, length, center of gravity, and balance.

Some people believe Smith may be skilled in martial arts because of how well he understands weapon design. Whether that is true or not, most troublemakers understand that upsetting him is not a wise choice.

Smith prefers crafting melee weapons over ranged weapons. He appreciates the movement and feel of weapons such as rapiers, scimitars, spears, and axes. His friend Eugene also enjoys melee weapons, although Smith would rather not see his axes used only for logging.

Smith enjoys the sound of hammer strikes, the sparks from heated iron, and the rhythm of the forge. He has a strong instinct for metal and describes his process as listening to the “inner voice” of the material.

His forging skill did not come from an easy life. As a child, Smith was abducted and forced to work as a blacksmith aboard the Neptune steam submarine.

That period was difficult for him, especially because he feared both the sea and enclosed spaces. After years of forced labor, Smith began to understand metal in a new way. On the same night he began truly mastering forging, he created a secret weapon, used it to knock out the guards, and escaped when the submarine docked for supplies.

Players reviewing Smith should pay close attention to Burnished Iron and Craftsmanship, since these skills define his resource-focused role.

Mistakes to Avoid ⚠️

Treating Smith as a Pure Combat Hero ❌

Ignoring Armor Enhancement 🛡️

Armor Enhancement reduces damage taken, which helps Smith’s durability in Exploration.

Overlooking Iron Gathering Speed ⛏️

Craftsmanship increases Iron Gathering Speed on the map. This is one of Smith’s main Growth-related benefits.

Forgetting City Iron Mine Output 🏭

Burnished Iron increases City Iron Mine Output. Players who only focus on Exploration combat may miss this resource bonus.
