Tools

To begin crafting, the appropriate tools, such as a hammer, must be in your inventory. These can be purchased from Blacksmith NPCs (Smithammer) or crafted by a Tinker using 4 iron ingots to create blacksmithing tongs (Tongs). Once a blacksmith acquires their first hammer, they can, with a little practice, produce their own. However, crafting them is not particularly cost-effective—the semi-finished component requires 7 ingots and 4 pieces of wood, while completion requires an additional 8 ingots and 6 pieces of wood.

A similar logic applies to mining tools; a shovel crafted by a Tinker costs only 4 ingots, whereas a pickaxe costs a total of 9 ingots and 7 pieces of wood. Since even a less experienced Tinker can produce a wide range of artisan tools and utility items, a basic knowledge of the Tinkering craft is highly beneficial for every blacksmith.
