Blacksmith

Blacksmiths can forge new swords from pieces of meteorite ore, or brand silver swords with mystical runes to enhance their statistics. They also occasionally make, sell or buy other goods.

Known Blacksmiths

 * Dwarven blacksmith at the Inn in the Outskirts
 * Malcolm Stein in the nonhuman district of the Temple Quarter
 * Armorer of the Order
 * Swordsmith near the market square in the Trade Quarter
 * Blacksmith in Murky Waters
 * Dwarven blacksmith in Old Vizima (Scoia'tael path only)

Mechanics



 * Speak with a blacksmith (or swordsmith, or occasionally armorer)
 * Left-click the "forge" icon, then select the desired sword (if you have only three pieces of ore, or three runes, then only one sword will appear; however, if you have more, then all the possible combinations you can make will appear).

You need at least three pieces of meteorite to forge a new steel sword. Blacksmiths can also burn runes into your silver sword. You need at least three runes to have them branded into a blade.
