Blacksmith
|
Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style. |
| This article is about the merchant store. You may be looking for the Blacksmith (Animi Avatar). |
Blacksmiths were metalworkers who made various objects ranging from weapons of war to simple objects of daily use such as utensils and locks. During the Renaissance, skilled blacksmiths began to apply their practical craft towards making art, and architectural ironwork flourished.
Blacksmiths made a wide variety of weapons and armor. The Assassins armed themselves by buying these from blacksmiths. The Templars also used the blacksmiths to arm their troops, and Cesare had at least one skilled blacksmith, Auguste Oberlin in his pay, who crafted weapons for most of Cesare's army.
Most equipment was available with any blacksmith in any city, with the exception being that the blacksmith in Monteriggioni was the only one selling the Condottiero War Hammer (with the collection of fifty feathers) and the Sword of Altaïr before the Siege of Monteriggioni.
Repair
Blacksmiths repaired both broken and partially broken armor. Ezio could get all of his equipped armor repaired at once, or as individual pieces. The cost to repair a piece of armor varied with its quality and where on the body it was worn.
Armor
During Ezio's travels throughout the various cities of Italy, and during his visit to Constantinople, he bought several pieces of armor, ranging from simple leather armor, to complex, decorated pieces of metal armor.

16th century
At the turn of the century, blacksmiths began selling a wider variety of weapons including Heavy Weapons such as axes and claymores.
Rome
Under the rule of the Borgia most merchants had been forced to shut down. As the Assassins under Ezio, began to liberate the city, they reopened several several shops. In return the blacksmiths began to sell weapons to the Assassins at a discounted rate. The blacksmith on Tiber Island sold certain weapons and pieces of armor in exchange for a collection of items.

Trivia
- Blacksmiths seemed to be more brash towards Ezio than the other merchants, blatantly admitting surprise that he was able to afford any of their wares. However, in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, this aspect was toned down; they instead made subtly offensive remarks like "One man's coin is as good as another's" when Ezio bought something from them.
- When going to a Blacksmith in Brotherhood, Ezio had the option to sell trading items for different amounts of money.
- Ezio could unlock special armor and weapons such as the Captain's Sword and the Seusenhofer Armor by completing shop quests (which require different amounts and kinds of trading items) as seen in the picture below. Shop quests could only be completed on Tiber Island in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
- The Blacksmith in Monteriggioni inexplicably obtained the Sword of Altaïr, even though it was Altaïr's possession and would most logically be placed with the Armor of Altaïr.
