Quick Links
We all have roamed around cities looking for a Blacksmith who will forge our next viscously sentient sword. But have you ever dreamed of being in the Blacksmith's shoes? Final Fantasy 14 allows you to take on the job of being Hydaelyn's most sought-after Blacksmith. Do the warmth of a forge's fire and the sound of a weapon's steel sound inviting to you?
As with all other crafting jobs, it can take a while before you can actually craft something that anyone would consider worth giving a second glance at. That is why we have created a guide to bring you up to speed with the top-tier, level 90 Blacksmiths.
Leveling To 21: The Anvil Of My Eye
Eat Boiled Egg to ensure you are well-fed and receive a three percent EXP bonus.
The first step is to go to the Blacksmith Guild, speak to Randwulf (X:10, Y:15) and complete the quest 'Way of the Blacksmith'. After that, you will be every inch a Blacksmith.
