Note that some content may still need to be updated.
Note that the anvil used to build a metalsmith's forge does need to be fire-safe—normally anvils can only be made from fire-safe materials, but strange moods can create artifact anvils out of metals like tin, which are entirely unusable.
Workshop labors and skills
All metallic end products are created at a metalsmith's forge, using four of the five metalsmithing skills (the exception being smelting):
- Weaponsmiths can create weapons, trap components, bolts, and ballista arrowheads
- Armorsmiths create armor
- Metal crafters create chains and "Other Objects" (crafts, coins, goblets), musical instrument components, as well as performing studding
- Blacksmiths create anvils, blocks, and all furniture except chains
- Trappers create animal traps.
- Mechanics create mechanisms.
Cost of Items
The cost of a weapon or piece of armor in metal bars can be calculated by using material size/3 and rounding down, with no item costing less than one metal bar. The exception to this is some types of finished goods, which are created in different multiples from a single metal bar, depending on the skill of the Metal crafter. The table on the Melt item page lists the cost of common items and their yields when melted.
Sizev0.42.01
To create differently sized armor for non-dwarf residents, request it to be made from the workshop as usual. Afterwards, go back to the main workshop menu and look at the details of the issued job. filter for the race you want to make the item for and press enter twice.
