# Blacksmith ⚒️

## Description:

The Blacksmith is one of the oldest professions within Rosewood. They are skilled artisans who work with iron and other metals to create a variety of tools and household items. The blacksmith's workshop, known as a forge/smithy, is typically located near a source of fuel and consists of a hearth, anvil, hammers, tongs, and other specialized tools. To create a metal object, blacksmiths heat the metal in the forge and shape it using their tools until it reached the desired form. Blacksmiths are essential members of medieval society, as their skills are hard to pick up and even more difficult to master.

## Mechanics:

```javascript
r!forge
```

{% endcode %}

Just like every other smith, the Blacksmith uses the `forge` command in order to turn simple materials into complex products that can then be used in trading or selling in the Market. Using this command will open up a dropdown menu wherein you can choose what you want to make. **All smiths can use their personal** [**storage**](/items/inventory.md#storage) **in addition to their inventories when using the `forge` command!**

## Relationship with the Market and other Users:

The Blacksmith can, of course, decide to buy the materials they need from the Market and sell their finished product back to it. However, if a user is attempting to maximize their profit, they should consider trading with other users for both materials and products. 

They require metal and wood, which they can get from PC [Miners](/commoner/fame/miner.md) and [Tree Fellers](/commoner/fame/tree-feller.md). When acquiring raw materials like this, you can get items at a discounted price, while the people you're buying from get a higher profit margin than they would were they to sell them to the market.

The tools a Blacksmith makes are necessary for many other trades from the Fame route. Therefore, blacksmiths should prioritize selling their forged goods to other characters. However, if you can't find a customer, don't worry, you can always sell off your product at the market for a slightly smaller profit.
