Smiths (Services Help)

There are two types of smith services in Arda: weaponsmiths and armoursmiths. Both of them have similar role: they fix your equipment. Weaponsmiths sharpen and mend weapons, while armoursmiths mend armour.

There are a few of each in game, although they are not present in every town. You will have to search a bit to find them, or ask other players for guidance. It many cases, being a smith is a "side job" of an NPC who provides another service: you may find that a warrior trainer also mends weapons, and an armour shopkeeper mends armour of his customers.

At a weaponsmith's workshop, you can:

• 'sharpen <weapon>' - Brings a damaged weapon back to perfect condition. Sharpening works only on bladed weapons, such as swords or axes. A weapon may only be sharpened once.
• 'fortify <weapon>' - Same as sharpen, but for blunt weapons, such as hammers or staves.
• 'mend <weapon>' - Makes a broken (and thus unusable) weapon back into usefulness. A weapon may only be mended once; if it breaks again, you may as well discard it.
• 'estimate <weapon>' - Tells you how much sharpening / fortifying / mending a weapon will cost, without actually performing the action.

At an armoursmith's workshop, you can:

• 'mend <armour>' - Brings a damaged piece of armour back to perfect condition. A piece of armour may only be mended once.
• 'estimate <armour>' - Tells you how much mending a piece of armour will cost, without actually mending it.
