Metals

Which metal can be used to smith an anvil? – unsigned comment by Trepach

Any metal which includes the [ITEMS_ANVIL] token - in vanilla, this includes Template:L, Template:L, and Template:L. Also, please sign your comments. Also also, read the article - the "Anvil Properties" section flatly states what anvils can be made from. --Quietust 16:48, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Anvil cost

I just made an anvil out of a single bar of steel. The article says "one (three?)(verify)". Hard to tell if this is a bug or not, but if it is, it's probably the same bug that makes armour always take one bar regardless of type.

Also, since an anvil takes one bar and melts back into one bar, this looks like a really cheap way to level up the blacksmithing skill. — Wisq (talk) 00:08, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

No iron anvils in .19?

I can't seem to be able to get iron anvils upon embark in the latest version, only steel anvils. Can anyone confirm if iron anvils are no longer available? --119.156.58.71 06:19, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm also having problems getting a parent civ with iron or steel in .19 too. Will try genning another new world and see if that helps. BertieB 12:15, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Hah, well genning a new world got me the wonderful iron, but also a weird bug that revealed HFS on embark and created a cavern/chasm thing that had some surface magma squares. Also the HFS had water and rock. Too bad the framerate was unplayable with all the liquids spilling all over the place. BertieB 18:02, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Smith Trainers

If anvilry require blacksmithing... and an anvil costs one bar... and recycles for one bar... then repeat melt/anvils will theoretically train my blacksmiths up to the point where where I can appease that fussy baron, at the cost of fuel alone. – unsigned comment by TerryDactyl

Once Toady fixes smithing to use the proper number of metal bars, this won't work anymore. --Quietust 15:43, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Ah... so if I hadn't just figured that out on my own, I'd be a dirty rotten cheater, exploiting a persistent glitch? Is there a forum for DF game ethics?
