Blacksmiths in Assassin's Creed Odyssey are essential service providers found in almost every major town and city across Ancient Greece. They serve as your primary hub for maintaining gear, upgrading your power level, and managing resources.
Blacksmiths offer core services that are vital to your progression:
- Buy & Sell - You can purchase weapons, armor, and raw crafting materials. Conversely, selling your unwanted gear is the fastest way to earn Drachmae.
- Upgrade - This allows you to bring a low-level piece of gear up to your current character level. This is especially important for Legendary items you want to keep using throughout the game.
- Engrave - You can add powerful passive bonuses to your gear. New engravings are unlocked by completing challenges, leveling up, or finding Ostraka puzzles.
