Metalsmith[edit]
This page seems to be wrong. The skill is actually "Metalsmith" in game. There is no "Blacksmith" skill in v0.31 -- 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?

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? --Greycat 23:34, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- 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.
