Blacksmith vocation

Mines ore and forges warriors' weapons and armor. Every gear line needs ingots. Family skills: Mining, Smithing.

A vocation opens once any skill of its family reaches level 15. You can change your vocation for free once a week (reset Monday 00:00 UTC), then for 200 crystals and up, doubling each time. The combat class follows the same rule, separately.
