'''Metalsmith''' is a category profession. It contains skills relating to the [[smelting]] of [[metal]]s and [[alloy]]s and the crafting of various metal products. Confusingly, the 'metalsmith' skill is available for purchase prior to embarking.  This skill actually correlates to [[Blacksmith|Blacksmithing]].

The '''metalsmith's forge''' turns [[metal bar]]s into various [[weapons]], [[armor]]s, [[furniture]], [[siege ammunition]], [[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]]
 +
* [[Low Boot]]
 +
* [[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 ==
  
−
An adult [[dwarf]] whose best [[skill]] is in this category, and who has accumulated ranks in other metalsmithing skills (exactly how much is not clear) will be known as a metalsmith.
+
[[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 [[bolt]].  It is also possible to make pure wooden ballista bolts 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]].
  
−
Once he has achieved 'grand master' skill in one of these skills, but not in the others, he will be known by this skill.
+
== Trap Components ==
  
−
If a dwarf has [[experience]] in only one metalsmith skill he will be known by his or her highest skill.
+
[[Trap]] components]] can be forged from [[copper]], [[iron]], [[bronze]], and [[steel]]. These include:
  
−
The metalsmith skills are:
+
* [[Giant axe blade]]
 +
* [[Enormous corkscrew]]
 +
* [[Spiked ball]]
 +
* [[Large, serrated disc]]
 +
* [[Menacing spike]]
  
−
{{Skill Box|Metalsmith|0:1|0:1|
+
Note that each requires 2 [[bars]] of [[metal]] to forge.
−
* [[Armorer]]
+
 
−
* [[Furnace operator]]
+
Corkscrews, menacing spikes and spiked balls can also be made from wood at a [[carpenter's workshop]], requiring 1 log each.
−
* [[Metal crafter]]
+
 
−
* [[Blacksmith|Metalsmith]]
+
== Other Objects ==
−
* [[Weaponsmith]]
+
 
−
}}
+
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
 +
