 * The blacksmith shop is capable of crafting Armor and weapons with which to equip your troops that will give them added protection and abilities.

Classes of Equipment

 * Equipment crafted by the blacksmith falls into the following categories
 * Each Class is composed of four basic materials combined in different ways.
 * Scavenger Equipment
 * Dreadnaught Equipment
 * Steel Cavalry Equipment
 * Wanderer Equipment

Quality of Equipment and Material

 * Material and Equipment may be graded. The various grades of materials are (from lowest to highest:
 * 1) White
 * 2) Green
 * 3) Blue
 * 4) Purple
 * 5) Orange
 * 6) Gold
 * The quality of the material used determines the level of the benefit conferred, e.g. a Green whatever will offer more benefit than the same items composed of White materials

Combining Materials

 * Materials of a lower quality may be combined to create one item of a slightly better quality at an a rate of 4 to 1
 * Materials also fall into one of several classes based on the type of equipment they may be used in

Scavenger Materials

 * These materials are

Plates

 * Wooden plates may be manufactured in the smithy at a base rate of

Tanned Leather

 * Tanned leather may be manufactured in the smithy at a base rate of

String

 * String may be manufactured in the smithy at a base rate of

Linen

 * Linen is the "premium" material in the Scavenger class. It generally takes four times as long to manufacture one unit of linen as to manufacture any of the other three materials in this class

Crafting Armor and equipment

 * While Crafting material requires no worker involvement, a worker is required to actually craft the equipment.
 * Crafting any equipment also requires some Dragonite
 * The quality of the item crafted is limited to the highest quality of any of the components
 * While crafting something of four equal quality components is certainly the safest, one may risk combining levels of components in order to get a finished item of a quality higher than the lowest component used. e.g. Three green components and one Blue level component MAY yield a blue result but a green level outcome (and the requisite material wastage) is more likely.

Equipment classes

 * Scavenger Equipment
 * Dreadnaught Equipment
 * Steel Cavalry Equipment
 * Wanderer Equipment

Disassembling Equipment
It's possible to disassemble equipment to reclaim the material that went into it but the Dragonite used in the forging process is lost. (unless the appropriate technology is developed)
