Blacksmith

Blacksmith is a Pre-Hard Mode NPC that spawns after the player has obtained a sword that deals more than 20 damage.

He gives the player certain missions. If the player is able to complete them, he rewards him with a certain item.

Trivia

 * It is a faster and easier way to obtain powerful swords such as the Night's Edge, as buying it from him ends up saving more materials in the long run.
 * This is evident as buying it from him doesn't require a Muramusa.
