Blacksmithing turns mined ore, corroded weapons, and scrap salvaged from defeated enemies into weapons, armor, and shields. Several higher-tier recipes also call for components crafted by Tailoring, Leatherworking, and Enchanting.
Blacksmith Musafar and Weaponsmith Fahkri both train the skill in Night Harbor’s Night Market, near the Forge and Anvil. Pick up Smithing Pliers and a Smithing Hammer for crafting, plus Rivet Cutters for breaking down old armor into scrap at the Anvil.
Early leveling is bottlenecked by copper, since vendors rarely stock copper ore or bars. Things open up once you reach the bronze tier, as bronze gear and scrap start dropping regularly from undead and humanoid enemies — Tel Ekir and Fallen Pass are especially good hunting grounds for Corroded Bronze Plate drops. Blacksmithing also pairs well with Leatherworking, since the same Hammer and Chisel breaks down leather armor too.
