Blacksmith

“From our early days as hunters-gatherers to our great civilizations with their castles and siege weapons, humanity has always been creating and improving upon their tools, equipment, and weapons. With a blacksmith shop, all manner of equipment will be available for you to forge, from hearty breastplates to swords so sharp the air itself might bleed. It's time to build yourself a blacksmith and forge some amazing equipment for your commanders! Send them into battle with glorious weapons and armour! ”

Commanders in Rise of Kingdoms can finally use equipment to enhance their combat skills! Only the mightiest commanders will be worthy of mighty weapons and armour! Governors can get equipment through Side Quests, the Shadow Legion Invasion, the Osiris League, and other events. Receiving equipment for the first time, governors will unlock the equipment system. At the same time, a new building, the blacksmith, will be added to the building options in your city. The blacksmith can be used to forge equipment, dismantle the equipment, and produce/upgrade materials used to forge equipment. Go to the blacksmith and build a set of equipment for your favourite commander!

Please note that the blacksmith can only be unlocked at city hall level 16 or higher.

2. Four identical material (same type, same quality) can be combined to make a higher-quality material. For example, 4 normal feathers can be combined to create an advanced feather.
3. The top material quality is legendary. The higher the material quality, the better items it can be used to forge.

Making Blueprints

1. 30 blueprint fragments can be combined to make one complete equipment blueprint
2. Complete blueprints can be found in the Item menu's "Equipment" page
3. Only complete blueprints can be used to forge equipment
