Blacksmiths
A blacksmith is a craftsman who forges swords and crossbows from diagrams. Blacksmiths also repair gear and break items down into crafting components. A blacksmith's rank sets the diagrams they can forge. Armor work belongs to armorers.
Ranks
Blacksmiths rank as Amateur, Journeyman, Master or Grandmaster. Every weapon diagram names the rank it needs. Mastercrafted witcher gear needs a Master craftsman. Blacksmiths have their own icon on the map.
