Bestiary entry

"The Blacksmith is a grouchy old man with an unrivaled skill in smelting. His crafted equipment would interest any Terrarian."

The Blacksmith is an NPC vendor that will spawn once the following conditions have been met:

• There is an empty house.
• The Eye of Cthulhu has been defeated.

When threatened by enemies, he will defend himself with his hammer. In Hardmode, the hammer will become molten and swing an image of it, inflicting extra damage and singeing enemies.

Quotes

Interaction quotes

"'course I followed you here, brat. I crash-coursed you on how to forge and smith weapons for yourself before you arrived here, I'll be damned if I don't get to sit back and watch the ensuing fireworks." "You know all those special weapons you find scattered about the land? I've always wondered just how they were forged in the first place. I'm an old man now, but I've still got a long journey to mastery ahead of me..." "Every blade's got its place in the world: a signature weapon for a hero, a beloved knife for a chef, or maybe just some gaudy piece of junk hanging from a wall." "Hey brat, corral some people into helping me out at the forge. Blacksmithing ain't a single-man task, and you'll just end up with second-rate junk if you try going solo!" "Welcome! I'm busy workin' on a commission weapon, if you touch anything, consider it sold!" When Demolitionist is present: "Me and <name of Demolitionist> have a little routine going: he delivers me metal to smith, and I give him a heart attack by smoking near his explosives on purpose." When Party Girl is present: "I just witnessed <name of Party Girl> make a knife out of chocolate that's better than half of my own blades..." When Merchant is present: "What does that conman <name of Merchant> think he's doing trying to offer his cheap trash he calls 'weapons'? If you want the real deal, you've come to the right place!" When Tracker is present: "That brute <name of Tracker> is more Barbarian than Tracker! Do you have any idea how many times the oaf asked me to fix that battleaxe of his?!" During a Blood Moon: "Don't forget to wipe your blade if you're planning on going out there! I don't care how magical it is, those freaks' blood will rust any metal!" When the player has the Reality Bearer buff: "Heh, I told you from day one, brat: I came here to watch the fireworks, and you sure delivered."

Happiness quotes

When homeless: "What? Am I gonna have to build a house myself? Get to work!" When neutral: "Of course I'm fine, ya oaf! Why're you even asking?" When far from home: "Hrmph, if I stood cooped in that little box you called my home all this time, I wouldn't get anything done." When in a sparse area: "It's nice having peace and quiet whenever I'm not hammering away." When overcrowded: "Too many people here for my liking. I would prefer a bit more space." "How am I supposed to forge anything with people bumping into me all day? Get some of these layabouts outta here!" When in the Caverns: "What better place to start forging than right next to the materials I'm using?" When in an Evil biome or the Dungeon: "Dunno how I got in this absolute hazard of a place, brat, but you best help me out of here!" When near the Demolitionist: "Even though I'll mess with <name of Demolitionist> from time to time, he's always my go to for a drinking buddy." When near the Weapon Master: "Quiet, stoic, knows when to act. I like <name of Weapon Master>." When near the Princess: "A brat's a brat, but <name of Princess> has a soft spot in my heart." When near the Tracker: "<name of Tracker> really boils my blood sometimes. He'd be a prime customer! But no, all he wants is his axe fixed..."
