[New Rank Idea] Blacksmith

Heyo! I'm back with another rank idea. So basicly, I came up with the idea this time because armories are required for an approved town. But who works there? There is no one person who works there? Is everyone in the town skilled enough to work the forge? The simple answer is no.

Introducing
the
Blacksmith


What is the blacksmith you might ask?
The blacksmith is the most important person for a army. He makes the weapons and armor for the warriors and makes sure they can withstand a hit. The blacksmith works at the armory for making weapons and armor for the army, but also has his own personal forge. At this forge he works on requests done by other people who are not part of the army.
Since the blacksmith is the smartest person in the town when it comes to crafting weaponsn and armor and choosing the right metals, the blacksmith is also often found in the mines. In the mines he looks for the best of ores so he can make the best weapons and armor.

Well, since it is a rank, what are the requirements?
The requirements that I have thought of that would fit the blacksmith are:

  • 125 Repair
    Even though the blacksmith is known for making weapons and armor, he also needs to be skilled in repairing them. This way, the blacksmith wastes less resources and needs less time to make new weapons and armor.
  • 200 Mining
    As a blacksmith, you need to know what the best ores are for making weapons and armor. Choosing the best ores is vital for making the best weapons and armor.
  • $10000,- ($10k)
    For nearly every rank you need to pay some amount of money and I thought 10k would be sufficient, since most of the ranks that make and sell stuff are 10k.
  • Armory and Forge
    The blacksmith needs a place to make the weapons and armor. That's kinda hard when you don't have a place to even smelt the ores.

Names

  • Greek : Sideras
  • Nord : Smed
  • Egyptian : Hidad

I was too lazy to make a brand new post, so I copied my Stablemaster one. Sorry not sorry.

Back in Gallion on Avalon, even though it wasn't my favorite map, I still loved being a blacksmith. I support this idea fully :3.

As well to my personal interests in blacksmiths, in history they were arguably the most important workers in the entire kingdom. Blacksmiths made everything from the tools farmers used to till the dirt to the weapons that allowed the soldiers and guards to do their duty. Without a blacksmith, life in a town or kingdom would be impossible as farming would take too much time and energy to feed a good amount of people, as well a kingdom would be protecting their lands with sticks and stones. A blacksmith was crucial in everyone's life, as such I believe both RP wise and economically wise this rank should be added.

Love it , but i do think it needs a little somthing , suck as if a black smith makes a item he can make up to lvl 10 sharpness , and has access to /lore on weapons and armor because anyone can make any armor when ever , but these perks make going to a blacksmith worth it and not a hassle

Being able to make stronger than sharpness V weapons is a game constriction, not a permission constriction so that couldn't happen. Lore is a donator only tool, and for good reason, so no to that as well. It's more of a RP idea than anything, you need to think about that. Most of the other RP ranks don't have any other changes from default, maybe one or two really.

Sounds like a great idea! A blacksmith that can actually make some decent armor, weapons maybe even tools. That'd be great!

Thats a great idea and an important rank which every kingdom would need!
But the name Gyftos in greek has nothing to do with Blacksmiths.

The real meaning of Gyftos: Sometimes they use this word to devalueate people wich means it is a RACISTcharacterization. But this word was first seen in Herodotus historic reports as nomadic people that came to ancient greece from India.

Blacksmith in greek is Σιδηρουργός(Sidirourgos) or Σιδεράς(Sideras) or Χαλκιάς(Chalkias)
So words than can be used are: Sidirourgos, Sideras, Chalkias
(Probably there are more words but these 3 is what i remember :p )
