New Beginner's Guide is Live!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi everyone, this is the developer!
For everyone wondering "what do I do?" or "how does this system actually work?", we've published a beginner-to-intermediate guide. It covers the spots players most often get stuck on in the first 30 minutes, plus the tips that make everything click.

What's inside

  • How crafting works (main material = stats / optional materials = trait rolls / quality score & rarity)

  • Material shop, adventurers, skills, jobs, and dispatch tips

  • How to read CP (Combat Power) — and its pitfalls

  • Vessels (familiars), injury/death & the clinic

  • Running the shop (customers, sales, public order & stampedes)

  • Automation (auto-craft / auto-display / auto-loop) and handy tips


▶ Read the guide: Ultimate Blacksmith Tycoon — Beginner's Guide (Core Systems & Tips)

Feedback, requests, and bug reports are always welcome — use the in-game bug-report button or the community hub. Have a great blacksmith life!
