Devlog 21 – New Weapons, Tools & Shields

A forge is only as good as what comes out of it.

Today, we invite you to discover the latest craftable treasures arriving in Sword & Shield Simulator, along with the enhanced production systems that make them possible.

New Sword Variants

Our 3D artists have forged an all-new arsenal of intricately detailed weapons and components.

You’ll soon craft swords with distinctive blades, ornate guards, custom handles, and striking designs.

The most advanced weapons await only the most skilled hands. To unlock these legendary blades, hone your blacksmithing craft through diligent forge work and fulfilling special orders.

Tools, Components & Custom Orders

Not every day in the forge is about crafting legendary swords.

You’ll also shape a wide array of practical creations, such as:

• Arrowheads and crossbow bolts

• Forged nails

• War hammer heads

• Sickle blades

• Various weapon components

Expect visits from local citizens and fellow craftsmen, each bringing unique requests to your anvil.

One day, you could be forging swords for soldiers; the next, crafting nails to help builders raise new homes for Danburg’s people.

Modular Shield Crafting

As war sweeps the land, sturdy defenses become as vital as the sharpest sword.

Rather than crafting shields in a single step, you’ll assemble them part by part, mastering each stage of the process.

You'll need to create and gather individual components such as:

• Shield bosses

• Metal reinforcements

• Support brackets

• Wooden frames

• Leather coverings

When every piece is ready, assemble the final shield in your workshop and send it forth to protect the city’s defenders against the Order of the Black Swords.

The New Smelter System

Every legendary weapon starts as humble scrap.

The revamped smelter lets you reclaim metal from rusty scrap, battered armor, and shattered weapons salvaged from the battlefield.

Now, the amount of metal you recover depends on the true weight of what you melt. Heavier gear yields greater rewards.

This recovered steel can then be transformed into ingots and used to craft entirely new equipment.
