Blacksmith

The Blacksmith is a village resident who appears in Villages. He is a trade-focused worker that buys Bars and minerals from the player, and he can also be assigned to hauling, crafting, forestry, and farming tasks.

His shop is especially useful once you begin collecting metal resources and spare materials from progression bosses. Early on, he reliably buys common Bars and damaged tools, making him a steady source of coins for surplus crafting output. After defeating certain bosses, his trade pool expands to include higher-tier materials and ores-related items, which makes him more valuable as the world progresses.

The Blacksmith buys the following items:

• Copper Bar: 4–10 coins
• Iron Bar: 6–12 coins
• Gold Bar: 10–18 coins
• Broken Copper Tool: 20–60 coins
• Broken Iron Tool: 30–70 coins
• Demonic Bar: 10–18 coins, after defeating an Evil's Protector
• Ivy Bar: 13–22 coins, after defeating an Evil's Protector
• Quartz: 15–25 coins, after defeating an Evil's Protector
• Obsidian rock: 2–8 coins, after defeating the Pirate Captain
• Life Quartz: 20–35 coins, after defeating the Pirate Captain
• Tungsten Bar: 20–35 coins, after defeating the Pirate Captain
• Glacial Bar: 20–35 coins, after defeating the Pirate Captain
• Mycelium Bar: 20–35 coins, after defeating the Pirate Captain
• Ancient Fossil Bar: 20–35 coins, after defeating the Pirate Captain

Because the Blacksmith also works as a general labor NPC, he can be useful even when you are not selling to him. Assigning him to hauling helps keep nearby storage organized, while crafting, forestry, and farming let him contribute to a compact village setup. This makes him one of the more flexible villagers to recruit if you want both economic benefit and utility from a single NPC.

For the best value, sell him materials that are easy to stockpile in bulk, especially Bars and unused broken tools. His inventory progression also makes him a convenient buyer for midgame and later resources that would otherwise sit unused once your equipment improves.
