Color me confused, too. The article says "A dwarf whose highest skill is "metalsmith" will have the Blacksmith profession." But then on the sidebar, it says "Profession: Metalsmith". So what does the word "profession" mean here? --[[User:Greycat|Greycat]] 23:34, 20 March 2011 (UTC) | Color me confused, too.

Metalsmith
This page seems to be wrong. The skill is actually "Metalsmith" in game. There is no "Blacksmith" skill in DF2010 -- Turkwise 20:35, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
- It was probably put on a separate page in order to distinguish it from the Metalsmith profession. --Quietust 21:01, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
- I think part of the problem stems from the game itself; Blacksmithing is a term used in the labor page, but apparently nowhere else. -- Turkwise 21:09, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
- Blacksmithing is a labour-preference, categorized along with weaponsmithing, metalcrafting, etc, under metalsmithing. dwarfs can be metalsmiths. i r confused, but it does seem as if the article has it backwards: high-level blacksmiths are called metalsmiths?

- You're confused because, well, it's confusing. There's "profession" meaning the label a dwarf gets matching his single skill (e.g. "Grower"), and there's "profession" meaning the broader label he gets when he has multiple skills in the same category (e.g. "Farmer"). A dwarf with skill only in "Metalsmithing" will be labeled "Blacksmith". A dwarf with multiple metal/forging related skills at similar skill levels gets the title "Metalsmith", whether or not one of those skills happens to be metalsmithing. Shrug.
