Description

To understand the effects of the armor see Stats and Enchantments

The Blacksmith is the first upgrade in Rogue Legacy. The Blacksmith sells armor and weapons. The blacksmith has 15 items for each equipment category, including swords, helmets, chestplates, limbs, and capes. You must find blueprints from chests to unlock more equipment, and purchase them to be able to equip them (more than 1 playthrough is needed to acquire all the blueprints). The Blacksmith will only start with Squire Sword, Squire Helm, and Squire Limbs unlocked, though they must still be purchased to be used.

The items mainly increase in strength/usefulness as they go across from left to right, and from the first row to the second, however the third row often forfeits general power for a bonus attribute (e.g. the first items on the third row give reduced stats, but +1 Vampirism).

Swords mainly provide increased melee damage. Helms mainly provide health and mana. Chest equipment mainly provides armor. Limb equipment mainly provides magic damage. Capes mainly provide different sorts of bonus attributes.

Blueprint Locations

Blueprints can be found in ordinary chests very rarely by chance; the primary way to find them is in iron chests and from golden chests which result from beating mini-bosses. Fairy chests will never drop blueprints.

Each area unlocks a new set of blueprints one can find - entering a new area can help you find new blueprints. Note, however, that mini-bosses appear to allow to find any sort of blueprint available to you in playthrough.

The quality of sets dropped from the chests vary, but the best equipment can only be found in the Dungeon or by defeating mini-bosses. In NG+, after beating the final boss for the first time, the dark set becomes available.

The blueprints for the Dark equipment can be found after defeating the final boss in NG+ by fighting mini-bosses. They can also be found using Calypso's Compass.
