The '''metalsmith's forge''' is a [[workshop]] used by [[dwarf|dwarves]] to turn [[metal|metal bars]] into useful objects such as [[weapon]]s, [[armor]], [[furniture]], [[coin]]s, [[ammunition]] for [[siege]] equipment and [[crossbow]]s, [[trap component]]s, and other [[finished goods]]. To build a forge, you must have [[fire-safe materials]] and an [[anvil]], which you start with by default, using 1000 [[starting builds|starting points]]. All anvils are equally effective.

== Weapons, trap components, and siege equipment ==
+
The '''metalsmith's forge''' is a [[workshop]] used by dwarves to turn [[metal|metal bars]] into useful objects such as [[weapon]]s, [[armor]], [[furniture]], [[coins]], [[ammunition]] for [[siege]] equipment, [[traps|trap components]], and other [[Finished Goods|finished goods]]. To build a forge, you must have an [[anvil]] which you start with by default, using 1000 [[starting points]]. If you don't bring an anvil, you may be able to trade with dwarven and human [[caravan]]s, who often carry iron anvils at a cost of 1000☼, and steel anvils at a cost of 3000☼.  You may request one from the [[dwarven liaison]]  or human [[guild representative]] if you are willing to pay an increased price to guarantee that at least one anvil arrives.  Note that it is presently useless to request the more-expensive steel anvil as there is no difference in productivity.{{version|0.27.169.33a}}
  
−
[[Weapon]]s, [[trap component]]s, and [[ballista arrowhead]]s are all forged using the [[weaponsmith|weaponsmithing]] labor.  They can be forged from [[copper]], [[iron]], [[bronze]], [[bismuth bronze]], [[steel]], [[silver]] and [[adamantine]], each using the [[weaponsmithing]] labor.  
+
It takes one unit of [[charcoal]] or [[coke]] to produce items on a forge, unless you use a [[magma forge]].

[[Armor]] can be forged from copper, iron, bronze, and steel. Available armor types include:
−
* [[Enormous corkscrew]]
 
−
* [[Spiked ball]]
 
−
* [[Large, serrated disc]]
 
−
* [[Menacing spike]]
 
  
−
Corkscrews, menacing spikes and spiked balls can also be made from wood at a [[carpenter's workshop]].  All trap weapons can also be made out of [[glass]].

[[Mechanism]]s also can be made by a [[Mechanic]] via the "Trap Components" menu of a forge, though only from 3 [[adamantine]] wafers -- no other metals.
+
Each piece of armor requires one metal bar to forge, except where noted.
  
−
=== Siege equipment ===
+
== Furniture ==
  
−
There is only one piece of siege equipment that can be created at a forge: the [[ballista arrowhead]], which requires three metal bars.  These arrowheads must then be mated with a wooden [[Wood|log]] at a [[siege workshop]] to form a complete [[ballista arrow]].  It is also possible to make wood-only 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]].
+
[[Furniture]] can forged from copper, iron, bronze, steel, gold, silver, brass, tin, and platinum -- in short, all metals except for pig iron. You can forge:

[[Siege Equipment]] can be forged from copper, iron, bronze, and steel.  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 bolt.  It is also possible to make pure wooden ballista bolts at the siege workshop, which are assumed to do less damage.  The [[siege engines]] themselves are also built at the siege workshop, out of three siege engine parts made of wood.

All metal furniture requires three [[bar]]s to forge except where otherwise noted.  The [[blacksmithing]] labor (and its corresponding skill, metalsmith) is used to create everything except chains ([[metalcrafting]]) and animal traps ([[trapping]]).
+
Note that each requires 2 bars of metal to forge.
  
−
In addition, three [[bar]]s of [[iron]] or [[steel]] (or 9 [[adamantine]] wafers) can be used to forge [[anvil]]s (via the "Other Objects" menu), which are used in the construction of additional forges.

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

* Toy
 +
* Instrument
 +
* Flask
 +
* Minted Coins
 +
* Stud an item with metal
  
−
* [[Restraint|Chain]]
+
Each of the above objects requires one bar of metal to make, including studding.  Like other [[decorations]] (such as [[Jeweler's Workshop|encrusting with gems]] or [[Craftsdwarf's Workshop|decorating with bone]]), 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#Metal_Crafter|Metal Crafter]]: Chains; everything in the "all other objects" category except anvils.
