Blacksmith
Overview
Blacksmiths are a class focused on dealing large amounts of single target melee damage and forging. Blacksmiths on Timelines play very similarly to their roles in the past but have been adjusted slightly with quality of life. Forging has been tuned to make items easier to forge and have a more uniformed cost. While Battle Smiths have had their SP issue addressed.
Job Change
The Blacksmith job change is unchanged and a guide can be found here.
Equipment Related Changes
- Most level 3 and 4 Axes and Maces now drop slotted or have had slots added. Adding variety to your weapon pool
- Weapons forged by Blacksmiths maintain their NPC bonuses
Skill Changes
Blacksmith needed a facelift with the addition of trans content and gear to ensure it remains relevant to new and old players alike. Forgers had a lot of their weapons merged into other passives, allowing them some free skill points at job 50. Forgers also make items in batches now, reducing time spent converting Iron and Stones into usable materials like Steel and Elemental hearts. Battlesmith received a quality of life change to help with its SP issues and ensure a comfy grinding experience.
