Manor Lords - How to Use Blacksmith
The Blacksmith's Workshop is one of the Burgage buildings available in Manor Lords. Learn what the Blacksmith's Workshop does, how to build and upgrade the Blacksmith's Workshop, and tips on how to use the Blacksmith's Workshop effectively here!

How to Use Blacksmith's Workshop

Craft Tools and Weapons Using Blacksmith's Workshop

Blacksmith's Workshops are Backyard Extensions from Level 2 Burgage Plots that craft Tools, Sidearms, Spears, and Polearms.

You will first need to construct a Mining Pit to mine Iron Ores, and a Bloomery to convert them into Iron Slabs.

These Iron Slabs will be the main crafting material for all the tools and weapons you'll forge in the Blacksmith Workshop.

For Spears and Polearms that need Plank as an additional crafting material, you will need to construct a Logging Camp to produce Timber, and a Sawpit to convert them into Planks.

Forge Weapons to Arm Militia

You could use the forged weapons from your Blacksmith Workshop to arm your Militia in your settlement.

Sidearms, Spears and Polearms are especially useful when you're trying to form Militia Footmen, Spear Militia and Polearm Militia for your armies.
