Blacksmith Master: Beginner's Guide

Daily Operations

At the end of each day, all blacksmiths and assistants will finish crafting or carrying the blueprint they were handling and then stop working. A button will appear to end the day, along with a warning if there are still workers that are crafting or carrying something.

Merchant Offers

Merchant offers are your primary source of income at the start of the game. Here's how they work:

Key Features:

  • 3 slots for accepted merchant offers
  • 5 merchant offers per day limit
  • 200 Gold cost to refresh offers
  • Elite worker reward every 20 completed orders

Process:

  1. Accept the offer
  2. Produce the blueprints (blacksmiths will automatically craft for merchants)
  3. Complete the offer for rewards

Special Features:

  • Priority system for specific offers
  • Special rewards (blueprint points, design points, mastery tree points, decorations)
  • Timed offers (from day 8) with 10% bonus for 24-hour completion

Blueprint Sales

The blueprint sales system becomes available after unlocking it in the Mastery Tree. Here's how to set it up:

Setup Requirements:

  • Display racks with assigned blueprints
  • Checkout Counter with hired cashiers
  • Item Chest for storage
  • Assistants for displaying items

Sales Mechanics:

  • Purchase chance increases with blueprint quality
  • Purchase chance decreases with blueprint price
  • Decorations and lights increase customer numbers
  • Optimal decoration budget: 500 Gold per display

Smelting System

The smelting system, unlocked via the Mastery Tree, allows you to transform lower quality resources into higher quality materials.

Resource Sources:

  • Iron Ore and Iron Ingot can be purchased
  • Other ores and ingots must be mined or obtained from trade
  • Different smelter sizes produce different quantities of ingots
