The Blacksmith Anvil is a heavy iron anvil used to build a working forge. It is the heart of any blacksmithing setup.
Its in-game tooltip says it is used to build a Simple or Advanced Forge. Its whole value lies in that forge. Anyone who wants to work metal needs one sooner or later.
Its main cost is weight. It weighs forty units and needs both hands to carry. Found anvils are extremely rare, so most are cast at a furnace from iron. The Carpenter is the best occupation for tools. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. The Construction Worker and the DIY Expert also start with some Carpentry skill.
Using
The anvil is a building part for forges. Both forge recipes consume it.
The Simple Forge takes the anvil with 30 Stone Block, some concrete, a Wooden Bucket and a Log. A mason's trowel is kept as the tool.
The Construct Advanced Forge recipe takes the same parts plus a Large Bellows. The extra bellows is the only difference in the parts list.
The Cast Blacksmith Anvil recipe makes a new one at a Simple Furnace or better. It needs a Ceramic Blacksmith Anvil Mold, 10 charcoal and 32 crucibles of molten iron, large or small. Tongs are kept as the tool. That is a lot of iron, so casting an anvil is a big project.
The Blacksmith Anvil is the working anvil for forges. The Bench Anvil is a lighter, decorative piece kept for show.

Locations
A found Blacksmith Anvil is one of the rarest items in the world. Crates in garage storage and storage units are the only containers that hold one, and almost never. Casting one at a furnace is the practical route.
The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container. Each tab shows one kind of place.
| Location | Container | Chance |

| Garage storage | Crate | 0.1% |

| Storage unit | Other | <0.1% |
Notes
- Both forge recipes consume the anvil, so each new forge needs a new anvil.
- Casting one takes 32 crucibles of iron, so plan the smelting ahead.
- It needs both hands to carry and is very heavy.
- Forge recipes call for this anvil by name, so a Bench Anvil is the wrong find.
