After giving her the items, Akkie will teach you Dubious Salesmanship. This skill will lower the cost of Mammonite 10%.


The Blacksmith Test


Firstly, go to the Blacksmith Guild located in Einbroch.
No, you didn't read that wrong. The Hugel update moved the Blacksmith guild from Geffen to Einbroch.



Then, talk to the Blacksmith NPC behind the counter (the guy wearing something that looks like a cowboy hat).



He will direct you to go to a NPC called Geschupenschte in the tool shop in Einbech. So, hop a train at the train station and take a short trip.

The Train Station is at the red dot.

This is the Tool Shop location in Einbeck.

When you talk to Geschupenschte, who is standing atop the stairs.



He will give you a quiz, which is fairly easy, since you will have most of the information on this website, but if you miss one, you fail. Also a good idea to have a calculator handy just in case... tho my quiz didn't need it.

This is just 1 set of questions you can be asked for this test:
1. Which region is matched incorrectly with its specialty item? Alberta-Swordmace
2. Which status can be inflicted with the Hammer Fall skill? Stun
3. Which of these skills can't be performed by merchants? Increase AGI
4. Where can you buy Blue Gemstones? Geffen
5. Where is the Tool Dealer located in Geffen? 8 o'clock direction
6. Which weapon cannot be used by a merchant? Bible
7. Which has the highest defense rate? Mink coat
8. For Level 3 weapons, what is the safe limit for upgrading? +5
9. What item can be made from using Trunks? Sakkat
10. Most important part of being a merchant is...? Money
--- Score : 100%


After you have completed the quiz, he will ask you to gather some items from different towns:

Payon: 2 blue gemstones, 8 iron ores, 1 Arbalest (48,000z) and 1 Eye bandage (500z) (which can be obtained from the weaponary/armory shop in payon)

Izlude: 2 Shell, 2 Coal, 2 Red Blood and 1 Tsuguri (51,000z from weapon shop in Prontera)

Morroc: 2 Star Dust, 1 Zargon, 1 Skel Bone, 1 Gladius (43,000 z)(weapon in Al de Baran or Morroc)

Comodo: 2 Animal Skin, 8 Iron, 20 Green Herb, 1 Ring Pommel Sabre (24,000z) (weapon only in Prontera)

Geffen: Umm... anyone have this information?

When you give all the items to Geschupenschte, he will forge the item and hand it back to you to deliver to a customer.

Morroc: Wickebine (Assassin cat girl) (morroc 27,112 along left wall 1/2 way down from red dot)

Comodo: Bismarc (Thief-looking guy) (comodo 158, 342 at top of map near dungeon entrance)

Payon: Talpiz (Guy in beige robe) (Payon 214,79 near bottom right exit)

Geffen: Baisulist (Mage-looking girl) (Geffen 46, 164 next to mage guild in upper left quadrant)

Izlude: Krongast (Male Crusader) (Izulde 69,181 upper left corner of square part of izulde)

The customer will then give you a voucher (and a strange announcement thingy pops up to annoy you) which you must return to Geschupenschte in Einbech. After that, you will return to the Blacksmith Guild in Einbroch to talk to the same person you did at first (the crazy cowboy guy behind the counter).

He will then send you to the back of the Blacksmith Guild to talk to a female Blacksmith NPC. (I think this part can be skipped if you buy a Hammer of Blacksmith in pront and choose the right response. Anyone tell me if this is true?) She will then give you a quiz which shouldn't be too difficult.

Most of the questions she asks are about forging/blacksmiths.

Again, this is only 1 set of questions asked :
1. What do you usually do when you meet someone on the street? Ask them what they need
2. Where can you learn the Crazy Uproar and Change Cart skills? Alberta
3. From the center of Einbroch, which direction is the Smith Guild? 5 o'clock
4. In which town can you find the most Blacksmiths? Einbroch (no, not Prontera)
5. Which skill status affects your skill as a blacksmith? DEX
--- Score : 100%

After answering them successfully, she will give you a Hammer of Blacksmith which you must take back to the cowboy guy at the front.

There, you will change job to Blacksmith. http://forums.warppo...tyle_emoticons/default/050.gif

Forging Assistance

Forging things actually took me a bit of time to figure out. So to save you the humiliation that I endured, I shall also present you with a Forging Assistant.

Lets start with the materials required to forge certain weapons.

Now then, once you have the items you need to forge, say a regular knife, you need to go to the Geffen Blacksmith Guild and purchase a hammer and an anvil (anvil you only have to buy once, the hammers must be restocked). Talk to Christopher to purchase materials for forging.



Iron Hammers are for level 1 weapon forging. 1000 zeny.
Golden Hammers are for level 2 weapon forging. 3000 zeny.
Oridecon Hammers are for level 3 weapon forging. 5000 zeny.
The anvil you choose to use will better the chances of your forging. Emperium anvil is the best, but most expensive (also not available in stores).

[Maka]

Double check to make sure you have all the items you need to make your weapon in your inventory (not in your cart). If you dont have all the right ingredients, it'll cost you a hammer. After checking your ingredients, double click your hammer and you'll see a list of items you can forge.




Chose whichever one you want to create (dont you just love knives?) and hit okay. You will then see a screen that lists the item requirement for forging and 3 empty slots that may or may not be filled.



To make a Very Strong weapon, one of the slots must be filled with a star crumb.
For Very Very Strong weapons, two slots need star crumbs.
Very Very Very Strong weapons need 3 star crumbs.
A rough wind in one of the slots will make the weapon wind elemental.
A flame heart in one of the slots will make the weapon fire elemental.
A mystic frozen in one of the slots will make the weapon water elemental.
A great nature in one of the slots will make the weapon earth elemental.
--- Putting more than 1 elemental stone in the slots does not make the weapon double elemental. An attempt to forge a weapon as such will fail.

It'll look simmular to this if you decide to make a WS earth weapon.


Once you have filled (or emptied) the slots as you desired, click okay again and you will attempt to forge. If you succeed, you recieve your weapon.



If you fail... you have to start all over.


Note: Your LUK and DEX stats, Weaponry Research Skill Level, and Smith Skill Level all affect the outcome of your forging. And if you're making level 3 weapons, Oridecon Reseach is a great help.

If im not wrong the item gathering test now is always the 2 Animal Skin, 8 Iron, 20 Green Herb, 1 Ring Pommel Sabre. All my friend's and my own BS test received these same set of items to gather. So for convinience sake you can bring all the items first before applying for the test, so you can give it to him immediately and not need to go back to aquire them.

And the person to give the Ring pommel Sabre forged by Geschupenschte after u give him the specified item is in Hugel now.

Great guide.

I was excited about my Pure Forger, slowly got him up to 87/50 with 87 DEX/LUK. So yeah, I was about to try forging lvl 3 weapons then I used this calc...

http://ro.zhasha.com/?c=forge

Using a Golden Anvil, with my stats and maxed Ori/Weapon Research... my success rate of Level 3 VVS Elemental Weapons is... 0%! Please tell me it's broken.

[wotmint]

That is correct, you'll need emperium anvil though. I remembered failing so much even with emperium anvil a long time ago. Oh and get a gloria slave with you, it helps...just a little though, haha.

[PoisonEdge]

I am going to say that Calc is Broken.. I am only level 76 / 46, and I forged 3 out of 5 VVS Elemental weapons.. and that is with just a Golden Anvil..

[seaechiowai]

Well, lvl 1s are much easier to make compared to lvl 3. Lvl 3 weapons have around 10% chance of being made with max job level, 99 dex 99 luk with emp anvil. Gloria, blessing, and food do help but they're like small aide, not a lot more than 1-2%(and using food puts dent on that profitability, unless you're doing the Brasilis Strange Hydra Quest). I have not been lucky enough to try the marionette control thingy by minstrels and wanderers, but I do know for fact 3 successful forge out of 5 is an extremely lucky case if it were lvl 3.

 

Recommended setups:

99 base luk and dex

Max Research Oridecon

Max Weaponry Research

 

Apple of Archer

Robo Eyes + Well-Chewed Pencil if you can afford them.

Quad Desterous(Drops) battle axe or orcish axe

Lucky Flute(Baby Leopard) armor +3 luk/dex enchant

.... I recommend Wooden Mail for its dirt cheap availability

+10 Cursed(Green Maiden) garment

2x Nimble(Zerom) Cat Hand Gloves

.... use Gloves[1] or Bradium Earrings[1] if CHG unavailable in the server

 

Activate the VIP buff or if non vip, go to Brasilis and fetch Lucia some hydras so she buffs your luk and dex, or use blue harvest quest to get +10 luk/dex food, or use the player vended food shops(they're not worth making, the mats cost more than the food in current market)

Use the ragnastats buffbot or have a nice Archbishop friend cast Blessing and Gloria to you, and go.

Any SKill build for BS Pure Forger?
