Step into the bustling, and perhaps slightly chaotic, world of Smithworks, a free-to-play team-based game developed by Ardent Games. Players take on the role of Smitta, a fresh recruit to the esteemed Smithworks Guild, eager to follow in the footsteps of legendary smiths.

However, the guild's reality quickly clashes with Smitta's idealistic dreams, revealing questionable business practices and a less-than-stellar customer service approach. The promise of 'same-day blacksmithing' might sound like a joke, but it's the daily grind.

As a new member of the guild, you'll join fellow blacksmiths to tackle various jobs, navigating the guild's peculiar operations.
