The Boss, Wrist Grim, and hand Grip are all on the same Menu.....
It's like Making a Pick axe on Large Axe heads.......oh....
wait....
You've never made a pickaxe either nevermind.
Okay.
PickAXE is an Axe, You take 3 heated ingots, all of the same metal, and open the drop menu to axe heads which will read Large Axe I believe if you have 3 detected heated ingots on the anvil.
Strike it until you get a large axe head, and then strike it again and you'll change it to a pickaxe head.
To SELL Pickaxes, You'll need a 2h grip attached to the head
To USE one, You can make it with 1h grip, 2h grip, and I believe, still polegrip as well. - They can be stolen, the blacksmith won't care and use it all the same
Stolen items cannot be sold.
To create Shield grips, You hit a boss a 2nd and 3rd time
After about 4-6 hits, You get a Shield Boss, Another hit gives you the wrist enarmes I believe, and then the next hit gives you hand enarmes. - You'll need 3 Ingots in total to have all 3, and will need all three plus the Shield rim (total of 5 ingots) to complete a shield, and they must all be matching metal, at least for now.
for Shield rim - also, The Rims appear in the order you see them on the woodworking table - Heater heater round heater heater heater tower etc
Just like with Every blade's alternate form, or switching from axe to pickaxe - you'll have to hit the rim once for every change.
so 4-6 hits and you get heater 1, it won't fit perfectly on the anvil - hit it again and you'll get heater 2 - which will quite likely fall off, depending on if it stayed in the anvil area or flew off into the grass will depend on if you can immediately smack it again to make a round rim, or if you have to pick it up and place it back on the anvil.
to get round shield you'll use about 7 or so hits - Tower will be around 10. Heater is easy since usually they won't ask for a specific number, allowing you to just make Heater 1 and be done with it.
You cannot use Mace/morning star head as personal Hammer
You can sell any small hammer head (including mace/morning star) as a 1h hammer
You can make any blade into a Polearm, Large, normal or Small. - they will make polearms and can only be sold to polearm requests, keep that in mind.
You can sell 1h-grip+ small axe head
You can USE 1h or 2h grip + small axe head (stolen or not) for the Blacksmith's Personal axe, same with the hammer.
