[September 7th] Weaponsmith City Project

Updated: September 7, 2021

Hi all! After being fully funded, the Weaponsmith project has arrived in the Village!

Notable additions include:

  • Rosetta, the early game gear vendor
  • Jax, the arrow forger
  • 10 new types of arrows
  • New Target Practice minigame

This content can be found north of spawn by the Weaponsmith NPC.

Rosetta's shop is fully stocked with 4 new armor sets and their corresponding weaponry. Each armor set is better than the previous but costs more coins and requires a higher combat level.

This should give newer players a clearer path towards acquiring better gear and introduce them to SkyBlock's combat system much better. It also gives players the option to specialize in either melee or magic gear

Jax has set up shop in the brand new Archery Range beneath the Weaponsmith's house. After proving yourself in the Target Practice minigame Jax will forge players up to 10 new types of arrows.

These arrows have unique effects such as:

  • Exploding on impact
  • Chance to cause monsters to be stuck in their place
  • Ignoring defence
  • + more

In order to unlock higher tiers arrows, players must complete multiple tiers of the Target Practice minigame. In this game players need to shoot a set of targets within a certain amount of time. This game is found directly next to Jax, simply step on the pressure plate to begin!

We've also added a new early game Shortbow to the Weaponsmith which may help players improve their time!


Thanks to the players who help test the update on Alpha network as well as @Minikloon for assisting in the development.
