Hammer Smith
Do people often tell you that you're hard as nails? Well keep those nails down and become a Hammer Smith!
Before you begin this profession you should ask yourself if you have anything to gain from it. Players who are experienced in handling a bow will not be interested in buying or making hammers. So unless you know a gang of Osamodas or a few rich Xelors, Iops and Enutrofs, you should think twice!
As with all the weapon-making professions, not everyone will be able to use what you create, so your clientele will be specific. The only warriors who will invest in your creations are the classes mentioned above. Adventurers from other classes will almost never purchase from you. If you are having trouble getting rid of your stock, you can always go to the nearest smithmagic workshop and strip a weapon down for its runes. You'll be able to sell these for a nice profit.
To maximise your profits and keep your costs to a minimum, you should start making friends with miners and lumberjacks as soon as possible! Nothing is better, however, than being an expert in one of these professions yourself before you start your career as a Hammer Smith. This way, you can collect many of your materials yourself, since wood and minerals are what you need most.
Do you know just what sort of hammer you'd like, but you can't find it for love nor money in the Marketplaces of the world? Well don't worry, if you learn the profession of hammer smith, you can make your ideal hammer yourself, and plenty more besides. Go see Hanniball Smisse in his Amakna workshop (-1,2) or Two-fingers (6,-18) in Astrub smiths' Marketplace.
Once you've got the hang of forging, you'll need to invest in the tools - start with a Hammer Smith's Hammer, which you can get from whoever taught you the trade. It'll cost you 150 Kamas.
That's it! You got the tools, you've got the know-how, nothing remains but to get down to business!
It's time for you to forge your first Hammer, so put down your weapon and equip your Smith's Hammer! When you arrive at one of the Smith's Workshops on Pandala Island, click on an anvil and select the action 'Forge a Hammer'. Then slide the ingredients into the slots available, bearing in mind the quantities you see in your recipe window.
The materials you'll need to create your hammer are as diverse as they are unusual - Vampire Blood, Plissken Tooth, Cheeken Plait - you never know what you'll need next! You can do without some ingredients, but others will be absolutely essential - wood and especially minerals, are the basic components of most recipes. You can buy all these materials in the Marketplaces of the world, in particular the ones that serve miners and lumberjacks.
When you start practicing your profession, you'll only be able to use simple recipes, and only ones with 2 resources (i.e. 2 slots). Once you get a little experience under your belt, you can move on to more complex recipes with more ingredients and more slots. The list below tells you the different grades of recipe along with the level you require to be able to use them:
- 2 slots (level 1+)
- 3 slots (level 10+)
- 4 slots (level 20+)
- 5 slots (level 40+)
- 6 slots (level 60+)
- 7 slots (level 80+)
- 8 slots (level 100+)
Like with the craft professions, the more complex a recipe is, the more experience you'll gain if you manage to do it. But the lower your level is, the less likely you will be to succeed in using it bear in mind that no recipe is a guaranteed success.

There are many so-called ethereal hammers In the World of Twelve. These weapons have a life-span that shrinks with every battle, but fortunately it is possible to repair them before their resistance runs out entirely and they disappear forever.
You'll have to reach level 10 in your profession before you can repair ethereal weapons at all, and to repair a particular weapon, its level must be less than or equal to twice the level of your profession. For example, if your level is 10, you will not be able to repair hammers whose level is higher than 20.
It's time to repair an ethereal hammer. Click on an anvil and select the action 'Repair a Hammer'. You'll only need two ingredients: the hammer you want to repair and a potion of liquid metal. This potion comes in three forms: Potion of Liquid Metal, Potion of Heavy Liquid Metal and Potion of Precious Liquid Metal. Each potion will restore a particular number of resistance points to the weapon. You'll find them in alchemists' Marketplaces.
Note: No recipe will be displayed in the recipe window when you try to repair an ethereal weapon, but if you click on 'Combine', the operation will take place anyway. For this reason, you should follow the directions to minimize the chances of failure. Bear in mind the general rate of failure as well, which is about the same as when you create weapons. Note also that if the repair fails, you'll keep the hammer, but its characteristics will be weaker.
