Smith Settings

Description

Forges one blacksmithing, weaponsmithing or armorsmithing item from its recipe. It buys the parts the recipe needs (and the ingot, if you ask it to), goes to an anvil, checks your oil, then has ;forge do the smithing. It can also stamp the item and apply enhancements such as tempering or honing.

craft runs it for forging training.

See Crafting Setup and the Forging Tutorial for forging tools, toolbelts and tongs; ;forge uses them.

Where to forge

hometown: Crossing
force_crafting_town:
use_private_forge: false
forge_private_forge_cost:

Setting	Default	Purpose
force_crafting_town		Buy parts and forge in this town instead of your hometown.
use_private_forge	false	Forge in the town's private forge. The older name forge_use_private_forge also works.
forge_private_forge_cost	50,000	Copper to have on hand for the private forge.

Without a private forge, it finds a free anvil in town. With one, it walks to the private forge and checks the rental notice, renewing the rental if it has under 15 minutes left. Private forges are in Crossing, Leth Deriel, Shard, Shadow's Reach, Aesry and Fang Cove; if your town has none, it stops and says so.

Materials

workorders_materials:
  metal_type: bronze
crafting_container: backpack
crafting_items_in_container:
forging_belt:

Setting	Default	Purpose
workorders_materials: metal_type	bronze	The ingot bought with the buy argument.
crafting_container	backpack	Where the ingot, parts and oil are kept.
crafting_items_in_container		Items to take only from crafting_container, such as oil.
forging_belt		Toolbelt your forging tools hang on, if any.

With buy, the ingot it buys is your metal_type, whatever metal you name in the command. Name the same metal, or the forging won't find it.

Buffs

Before forging, it casts your smith waggle set, if you have one.

How it works

There are no settings for these; this is what to expect.

• Coin. It makes sure you have 3,000 copper on hand, withdrawing from your bank if needed (not with here).
• Parts. It buys each part the recipe needs, plus a leather strip for reinforce, and throws away any left over afterwards.
• Ingot. With buy, it buys an ingot, and throws away the leftover piece afterwards. If the shop's ingots are too small for the recipe, it stops: combine ingots by smelting them yourself first.
• Oil. If you have no oil, or it's down to fewer than 3 uses, it throws it away and buys more.
• The recipe. The recipe name is matched against base-recipes.yaml. If it matches more than one, you pick with ;send <number>; use the full name (for example a metal pike) to avoid that.

Argument Settings

;smith <material> "<recipe name>" [options]

Argument	Purpose
material	Required. The ingot's metal, e.g. bronze.
recipe name	Required. The recipe name, in double quotes if more than one word.
buy	Buy the ingot (see the note above).
stamp	Mark the finished item with your stamp.
here	Forge in the room you're in, e.g. a rented forge or with a forge wand. It doesn't buy parts, find an anvil, or check coin or the rental. Don't combine it with buy: buying the ingot walks you to the shop.
temper	Temper the item afterwards, for durability.
hone	Weapons: hone, reducing weight and impact.
balance	Weapons: balance, improving balance at the cost of suitability.
lighten	Armor and shields: lighten, reducing weight.
reinforce	Improve protection at the cost of weight and hindrance. Buys a leather strip.

Usage

;smith bronze "a shallow metal cup" buy

;smith steel "a metal pike" temper hone

;smith bronze "a metal armband" here stamp
