Anvils are required to build a metalsmith's forge. They are a vital item if your fortress intends to do any metalworking whatsoever.
Since the only way to make an anvil is with a metalsmith's forge, your first anvil must be sourced from outside of your colony.
Acquiring an Anvil
You may bring an anvil with you on embark, at the cost of 1000 points. However, some players choose to forego this and instead spend the points for other purposes. An anvil will usually be available for purchase from the dwarven caravan in the first autumn, but it is not guaranteed. An anvil from a caravan will cost 1000 if made of iron, or 3000 if made of steel.
Anvil Properties
Anvils may be made of iron, steel or adamantine. (Dwarves in strange moods can make anvils out of any metal.) The material used does not seem to affect the performance of the forge. Neither does the anvil's quality, although anvils have a high base cost, so quality greatly increases their value. Smithing an anvil requires three bars of metal.
