Overview
Easily the most powerful of all the 2nd classes, the Blacksmiths sport damage equal to that of the trans 2nd classes(except their own trans class of course). Their only weakness lies in the fact that they only have 1 multitarget AoE spell (Cart Revolution) that has knockback and limited range, making it hard to target with. As a single target killer though, it is no doubt that this class shines bright as the leading killer. A Battle Blacksmith's main skills revolve around the theme of self-buffing to increase damage. The main offensive skills are Mammonite and Cart Revolution, which both can be learned as a Merchant.
Blacksmiths also have the ability to forge weapons. They can master the power to imbue weapons with elements of Fire, Earth, Wind and Water and also have the ability to increase the weapon damage further. Weapons forged by Blacksmiths also include Random Options.
Note:
In previous versions of Ragnarok, STR was a key defining stat for the blacksmith class, but due to nerfs on STR bonus's in Renewal mechanics, this is no longer true (still a good option in Classic versions of the game though). Pumping obscene amounts of STR is no longer wise as it's a waste of stats that can be placed into better areas for more dmg output or survivability. Blacksmiths will get to makeup for this severe DPS loss when they change to Mastersmith and learn Improved Power Thrust. This nerf was Gravity's way of balancing the class with all of the new weapon options available as well as the adjustments to monster's HP (blacksmiths would be killing everything in 2-3 hits otherwise).
Warning!
- This class requires the player to be financially well off to play due to the heavy expenses the player will incur through the uses of potions and the zeny tax on the Mammonite skill. Therefore, this class is NOT recommended for new players.
Job Change Guide
See Blacksmith Job Change Guide for detailed information.
Changing into a Blacksmith from a Merchant requires the player to complete a number of tasks:
- Item Collection
- Written Test
After completing these tests, the player will be transformed into a Blacksmith.
Builds
Cart Revolution Build
- STR: 70-90
- AGI: 30-50
- VIT: 70-90
- INT: 1+
- DEX: 50
- LUK: 20-40
This build is centered around the Cart Revolution skill for AoEing groups of monsters at once. Blacksmiths can also play as tank/puller for parties, especially if switching to a Fortune Sword and Shields with Racial Reduction Cards. Skin Tempering adds an extra 5% Neutral reduction, which is helpful for stacking with Raydric Card and other Neutral resist gear. ASPD does help Cart Revolution spam rate, especially when pushing monsters against walls. Hammer Fall is useful for stunning monsters to temporarily disable them. Mammonite still provides high single target damage.
Skills: Cart Revolution (Quest Skill, given for free if you change to Merchant in the Alberta Merchant Guild), Adrenaline Rush, Weapon Perfection, Power Thrust, Maximize Power, Hammer Fall, Skin Tempering
AGI Build
- STR: 70-90
- AGI: 80-99
- VIT: 50-70
- INT: 1
- DEX: 40-60
- LUK: 20-40
The AGI build is is usually recommended for newer players without funds. They have high ASPD and FLEE for quick single target killing, so it uses minimal HP / SP Healing Items. Their main method of attack is melee-ing single monsters with Adrenaline Rush and other damage boosting buffs active. Blacksmiths do not have skills that increase flee rate (like a Thief's Improve Dodge, so it is recommended to use at least SOME sort of FLEE gear (such as Falcon Muffler or Whisper carded garment).
Primary Skills: Adrenaline Rush, Weapon Perfection, Power Thrust, Maximize Power, Hammer Fall Skin Tempering
Pure Forger
- STR: 1
- AGI: 1
- VIT: 1
- INT: 1
- DEX: 99
- LUK: 99
How to make a Pure Forger:
Level as with a battle build. When reaching the max desired level, use stat reset to change stats to the desired forging stats. This is by far the easiest way to achieve a forgesmith in a reasonable amount of time. Otherwise the player will have to self leech themselves, since the forgesmith build has bad survivability and poor damage output.
Tactics
Recovering HP or Healing Items
When mobbing or tanking groups of monsters, especially for AoE leveling, Healing Items WILL need to be consumed and often even spammed. One popular healing item is Fresh Fish due to its cheap cost and low weight. It can be purchased from NPCs off the Chef's Assistant at the docks of Alberta (167, 134) as well as other locations for only 250z each (190z with max Discount).

Weapons
After considering what requirement skills have (some skills can only be used with certain weapon types), the Item Search Tool within the Control Panel is very useful. Generally, for physical classes (both melee and ranged), something with high ATK is best.
