| Address | Blacksmith |
Clint is the blacksmith of Pelican Town and one of the most important shopkeepers for any farm. He runs the Blacksmith on the east side of town, where he upgrades tools, cracks open geodes and sells ore and coal. Every tool upgrade in the game passes through his anvil, so a farmer meets him again and again. Behind the counter he is a shy, lonely man with a long-hidden crush on Emily, and his heart events follow his clumsy attempts to win her over. His loves are almost all gems and metal bars, so mining trips double as a way to win his friendship.
Lore
Clint comes from a long line of blacksmiths. His father, grandfather and great-grandfather all worked the forge, and he jokes about the family tradition. He admits he only became a blacksmith because his father pushed him into it, and he says he would rather work outdoors than beside a hot furnace all day.
He is gloomy and self-conscious. He calls his own life depressing and sometimes wonders how he ended up in the valley. He is touched by any kindness and says he rarely gets birthday gifts.
Clint has a crush on Emily but is far too nervous to tell her. A crumpled letter in his bedroom, written to her and never sent, confesses that he is too shy to ever say the truth. Gus has noticed the crush but has chosen not to ask about it.
Schedule
On a normal day Clint stands behind the Blacksmith counter from nine in the morning. In the late afternoon he moves to work at the anvil, and at seven he heads to the Stardrop Saloon, where he stays until midnight. Rainy days follow the same pattern.
Once the Community Center is restored, Clint spends Fridays working in its Boiler Room. The shop is closed on those Fridays unless it rains, which matters when planning a tool upgrade. In Winter he visits the Night Market and keeps a check-up at Harvey's Clinic.
Relationships
Clint's social life centres on the Saloon, where Emily works. At the Flower Dance he wonders aloud whether Emily would dance with him, and he ends up alone. He is friendly with Gus, who quietly keeps his secret.
Gifts
Clint loves almost every gem: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Emerald, Jade, Ruby and Topaz. He also loves Gold Bars, Iridium Bars, Omni Geodes, Artichoke Dip and Fiddlehead Risotto. Amethyst and Topaz turn up early in The Mines, so a few trips down give a cheap supply of loved gifts. He likes Copper Bars, Iron Bars and the book Mining Monthly.
Ordinary ore and coal leave him unmoved. He dislikes Quartz, Salmonberry and Wild Horseradish, and he hates Holly. Gifts on his birthday in Winter count eight times as much.
These gifts are the ones this villager loves most.

Heart Events
At any friendship above zero, Clint may mail the farmer a spare Copper, Iron or Gold Bar with an awkward note. The chance rises as friendship grows.
At three hearts, a Monday evening at the Stardrop Saloon finds Clint asking for advice about women. Telling him to treat women the same as men pleases him most. Emily then walks over to take his order, and he panics and blurts out a food order. Around the same time he mails the farmer a recipe.
At six hearts, the farmer enters town from Cindersap Forest during the day and finds Clint hiding in the bushes near Emily's house. He got as far as her door before losing his nerve. The farmer threatens never to upgrade a tool with him again unless he asks her out. He stammers out an invitation to the Grampleton Carnival, and Emily happily accepts. This scene only happens after the three-heart scene. It is lost for good once the farmer marries Emily or sees her later romance scenes.
At seven hearts, Clint mails the recipe for Bean Hotpot. Emily later asks the farmer if they know how to cook it, a hint that Clint has shared it with her.
Notes
Clint is part of several story quests. In Forging Ahead, he visits the morning after the farmer collects the first Copper Ore and hands over the blueprints for the Furnace. In Clint's Attempt, during Winter, he asks the farmer to give Emily an Amethyst and say it came from him. A Favor for Clint, later in Winter, asks for an Iron Bar and pays 500g and a heart of friendship.
He also posts Help Wanted requests for ore, coal or monster kills. On the Special Orders board he may ask for a large number of Bats, Dust Sprites, Skeletons or Grubs to be slain. That order, Cave Patrol, pays 6,000g and the Geode Crusher recipe, which is a strong reward for anyone opening many geodes.
