Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 incorporates a unique blacksmithing mechanic that is notably more complex than what players might find in typical role-playing games. Engaging in this craft not only yields some of the most powerful weaponry available in the game but also allows players to forge a personal connection to their gear, as each item is meticulously crafted through a detailed process.
To successfully blacksmith various items, players will require specific materials, most of which include essential base metals such as:
- Iron
- Copper
- Scrap Metal
- Steel
- Frankfurt Steel
- Toledo Steel
While the game does not feature a mining system for acquiring metals, there are effective strategies to obtain them. Below, we outline the best methods for securing these valuable materials.
Where To Buy Metals In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The most effective and dependable way to procure metals is through purchases. Unlike foliage such as Belladonna, metals do not respawn, so players must be prepared to invest their hard-earned Groschen. Early in the game, players can accumulate an initial stockpile by agreeing to work for the blacksmith during the wedding quest, though this opportunity is limited.
For continued acquisition of metals, the following merchants are your best options:
- General Traders
- Blacksmiths
- Carpenters (while they do not sell metals, they offer other crucial blacksmithing materials)
To optimize purchases, consider buying metals in bulk from regions where you have earned a strong reputation; this strategy often yields better prices. Additionally, increasing your carrying capacity or utilizing your horse for transportation can alleviate the burden of heavy metals. While purchasing is the most efficient method, players should also be on the lookout for metals in chests scattered throughout the game world.
Merchants replenish their inventories every few in-game days, so players should routinely check back to ensure they are not missing out on valuable new stock.
How To Find Chests In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To find additional metals, players can often loot chests located in blacksmith shops, provided they are willing to engage in lockpicking using a Lockpick. Another effective tactic is to explore various camps scattered throughout the game. Many of these camps, typically bandit hideouts, may conceal chests that contain metals, although players will need to clear out enemies before they can loot them. Not only are these locations promising for metal acquisition, but they also often yield Groschen, which can be invaluable for purchasing metals later.
Camps are marked on the map, with enemy camps indicated by red tents. Players should keep in mind that Toledo Steel is particularly rare; therefore, uncovering it in chests is a strategic advantage that allows you to allocate more Groschen towards acquiring other essential metals.
