Blacksmiths

Blacksmiths need benches to sit down when they aren't working. Each bench can support 3 blacksmiths.

When hiring new blacksmiths, there will be a pool of 3 available blacksmiths each day. The pool can be refreshed but it costs more Gold each time.

Each blacksmith has a level and three stats to keep track of. Higher starting stats can be obtained via the Mastery Tree.

• Metalworking determines the time it takes to process different ingot types on the anvil.
• Carpentry determines the time it takes to process different wood types on the carpentry workbench.
• Design determines the amount of design points acquired each day.

Each blacksmith has a positive and a negative trait. Each blacksmith also has a wage, which depends on their level, traits and number of hired blacksmiths. Blacksmiths may have the followings traits:

• Demands a 10% lower wage
• Demands a 10% higher wage
• Walks 20% faster
• Walks 20% slower
• Gains 20% more XP
• Gains 20% less XP
• Earns design points 20% faster
• Earns design points 20% slower

• Takes 20% more time to process an ingot on an anvil

Each time a blacksmith finishes something they will gain 25 XP. Once they reach enough XP, they will level-up, giving two skill points that can be used to increase their skills. The level-up process can be set to automatically select the highest skill or all skills equally.

The crafting preference of blacksmiths can be changed so they craft first one of the following:

• Most expensive
• Least expensive
• Most complex
• Least complex
• Metal items
• Wood items

Blacksmiths can be assigned to Design once Design Table has been purchased.
