The metalsmith's forge is a Template:L used by Template:L to turn Template:L into useful objects such as Template:Ls, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L for Template:L equipment and Template:Ls, Template:Ls, and other Template:L. To build a forge, you must have Template:L and an Template:L, which you start with by default, using 1000 Template:L. All anvils are equally effective.v0.28.181.40d

Workshop labors and skills

Several different types of items can be created at a metalsmith's forge; dwarves will need the correct type of labor enabled for each. The labors used at a forge are:

Weapons, trap components, and siege equipment

Template:Ls, Template:Ls, and Template:Ls are all forged using the Template:Ling labor. They can be forged from Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L and Template:L, each using the Template:L labor.

Weapons

All weapons require one bar of metal. The weapons that can be forged are:

* Crossbows and picks cannot be made out of Template:L.

Trap components

All trap components require one bar of metal. The trap components that can be made are:

Corkscrews, menacing spikes and spiked balls can also be made from wood at a Template:L. All trap weapons can also be made out of Template:L.

Template:L also can be made by a Template:L via the "Trap Components" menu of a forge, though only from 3 Template:L wafers -- no other metals.

Siege equipment

There is only one piece of siege equipment that can be created at a forge: the Template:L, which requires three metal bars. These arrowheads must then be mated with a wooden Template:L at a Template:L to form a complete Template:L. It is also possible to make wood-only ballista arrows at the Template:L, which are assumed to do less damage. The Template:Ls themselves are also built at the siege workshop, out of three siege engine parts made of Template:L.

Armor

Armor can be forged from copper, iron, bronze, bismuth bronze, steel and adamantine. Available armor types include:

Each piece of armor requires one metal bar to forge, except where noted.

Furniture

Furniture can forged from any non-brittle metal -- in short, all metals except for pig iron and bismuth. You can forge:

All metal furniture requires three Template:L to forge except where otherwise noted. The Template:L labor (and its corresponding skill, metalsmith) is used to create everything except chains (Template:L) and animal traps (Template:L).

In addition, three Template:L of Template:L or Template:L (or 9 Template:L wafers) can be used to forge Template:Ls (via the "Other Objects" menu), which are used in the construction of additional forges.

Finished goods

Other objects can be forged from all metals except pig iron and bismuth, using the metalcrafting skill. They are:

Each of the above objects requires one bar of metal to make, including studding. Like other decorations (such as encrusting with gems, decorating with bone or decorating with shell), you cannot specify which object to stud: the smith will generally take the nearest available object and stud it. Note that unlike all other metalsmithing operations, studding items does not require Template:L.

Metal clothing

Template:L can be used to make anything, even lightweight Template:L. All the clothing items that can be made at the Template:L can be forged from adamantine if you have it.
