The '''metalsmith's forge''' turns [[metal bar]]s into various [[weapons]], [[armor]]s, [[furniture]], [[Siege equipment]], [[trap]] components, and other objects. To build a forge, you must have one [[block]] and an [[anvil]]. If you embark without preparing carefully, you will start with one [[iron]] anvil. If you lose it or start without an anvil, you can often trade for one.

It takes one unit of [[charcoal]] or [[coke]] to produce items on a forge, unless you use a [[magma forge]].

== Weapons ==

[[Weapons]] can be forged from [[copper]], [[iron]], [[bronze]], [[bismuth bronze]], [[steel]], [[silver]] and [[adamantine]], for one [[metal]] [[bar]] each. The weapons that can be forged are:

* [[Battle axe]]
* [[War hammer]]
* [[Short sword]]
* [[Spear]]
* [[Mace]]
* [[Crossbow]]
* [[Pick]]
* [[Bolts]] (a stack of 25 will be produced)

However, note that crossbows and picks cannot be forged out of silver.

== Armor ==

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

* [[Plate mail]] (3 [[metal]] bars)
* [[Chain mail]] (2 metal [[bars]])
* [[Greaves]] (2 metal bars)
* [[Leggings]]
* [[Helm]]
* [[Cap]]
* [[Gauntlet]]
* [[High boot|High boots]]
* [[Low boot|Low boots]]
* [[Shield]]
* [[Buckler]]

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 [[metal]]s except for [[pig iron]] and [[Bismuth]]. You can forge:

* [[Cage]]
* [[Chain]] (1 metal bar)
* [[Animal trap]] (1 metal bar) (requires the [[trapping]] labor and not any of the metalsmith labors)
* [[Bucket]] (1 metal bar)
* [[Barrel]]
* [[Armor stand]]
* Metal [[block]]s (1 metal bar)
* [[Door]]
* [[Floodgate]]
* [[Hatch Cover]]
* [[Grate]]
* [[Statue]]
* [[Cabinet]]
* [[Chest]]
* [[Throne]]
* [[Sarcophagus]]
* [[Table]]
* [[Weapon rack]]
* [[Bin]]
* [[Pipe Section]]

All metal furniture requires 3 [[bars]] to forge except for [[chain]]s, animal traps, buckets and blocks.

== Siege Equipment ==

[[Siege equipment]] can be forged from [[copper]], [[iron]], [[bronze]], [[bismuth bronze]], [[steel]], [[silver]] and [[adamantine]]. Only one piece of siege equipment can be forged: the [[Ballista arrowhead]], which requires 3 [[metal]] [[bars]]. These arrowheads must then be mated with a wooden [[log]] at a [[siege workshop]] to form a complete [[Ballista arrow]]. It is also possible to make pure wooden ballista arrows at the [[siege workshop]], which are assumed to do less damage. The [[siege engine]]s themselves are also built at the siege workshop, out of three siege engine parts made of [[wood]]. Smithing arrowheads seems to require both the [[Weaponsmith|Weapon smithing]] and [[Metal crafter|Metal Crafting]] skills turned on.

== Trap Components ==

[[Trap]] components]] can be forged from [[copper]], [[iron]], [[bronze]], and [[steel]]. These include:

* [[Giant axe blade]]
* [[Enormous corkscrew]]
* [[Spiked ball]]
* [[Large, serrated disc]]
* [[Menacing spike]]

Note that each requires 2 [[bars]] of [[metal]] to forge.

Corkscrews, menacing spikes and spiked balls can also be made from wood at a [[carpenter's workshop]], requiring 1 log each.

== Other Objects ==

Other objects can be forged from all [[metal]]s except [[pig iron]]. They are:

* [[Anvil]] ([[iron]], [[steel]] or [[adamantine]])
* [[Craft]]s
* [[Goblet]]
* [[Toy]]
* [[Instrument]]
* [[Flask]]s
* Minted [[Coins]]
* [[Stud]] an item with metal

Each of the above objects requires one bar of metal to make, including studding. Like other [[decoration]]s (such as [[Jeweler's workshop|encrusting with gems]], [[Craftsdwarf's workshop|decorating with bone]] or [[Craftsdwarf's workshop|decorating with shell]]), you cannot specify which object to stud: the smithy will generally take the nearest available object and stud it. Note that unlike all other metalsmithing operations, studding items does not require fuel.

In addition, 3 [[bars]] of either [[iron]] or [[steel]] can be used to forge [[anvil]]s, which are used in the construction of additional forges.

== Metal Clothing ==

[[Adamantine]] can be used to make anything, even lightweight clothing.
All the clothing items that can be made at the [[clothier's shop]] can be forged from adamantine if you have it.

== Skills Used ==

* [[Metalsmith]]: All [[furniture]] except [[chain]]s and [[animal trap]]s; [[anvil]]s
* [[Skills#Metal_Crafter|Metal Crafter]]: Chains; everything in the "all other objects" category except anvils.
* [[Skills#Weaponsmith|Weaponsmith]]: All weapons and ammunition except for [[Crossbow|crossbows]]; [[Trap|trap components]]; [[Siege equipment]]?
* [[Skills#Bowyer|Bowyer]]: [[Crossbow|Crossbow]]
* [[Skills#Armorsmith|Armorsmith]]: All [[armor]]
* [[Skills#Trapper|Trapper]]: [[Animal trap]]s

40d:Stairs

2007-10-30T01:06:54Z

Vbraun:

I'm trying to figure out stairs, but can't. I thought this would be a very important topic to start.

How do I erase "down stairs" and "up stairs"? There is an option for one, but not the other.

I'm also trying to figure out [[ramps]].

:Looks to me like the "remove down stairs" option is missing. But if you rewall it ({{K|b}} - {{K|C}} - {{K|w}}), and then designate it for "Remove Construction" ({{K|d}} - {{K|n}}), that works to get rid of it. Or just rewall it and leave it as a wall. --[[User:Peristarkawan|Peristarkawan]] 20:44, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

It seems that building an up/down stairway is the easiest way to build underground. --[[User:Vbraun|Vbraun]] 21:06, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
