Where to find the Blacksmith in The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy

One of the special skills you can master in The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy is Swordsmanship. As you hone this skill, you’ll quickly want to unlock a better Sword, and one of the best ways to do so is by visiting the Blacksmith.

By default, you’re given a measly Wooden Sword. It’s not great, so acquiring a better option as soon as possible is crucial. Ondarion is a vast world with many lots to see, so it can be tricky to find the store you’re seeking the first time around. Here’s where to find the Blacksmith in The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy expansion pack.

Blacksmith Workshop location in The Sims 4

The Blacksmith can be found in the Verdemar neighborhood of Ondarion in The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy expansion pack. This is the region situated in the upper left corner of the map. You’re looking for a tan building with a light red roof. This shop also has some anvil signs on the front and side of it, some swords displayed at the front, two practice dummies you can train against, and a furnace in the courtyard next to it.

You can access this lot by traveling to any of the available locations around Verdemar. I’ve found that visiting the Ye Old Voyager bar lot is generally the easiest spot to start at, though. From this lot, have your Sim walk up the ramp to the right or up the stairs to the left to access the small courtyard area where the Blacksmith can be found. It’s also right by a gazebo you can interact with to enter a Swordsmanship Tournament.

What does the Blacksmith sell in The Sims 4?

The Blacksmith shop can be interacted with to access a selection of Swords. In total, this store has five Swords available. Each one costs a varying amount of Simoleons and requires your Sim to be at a different skill level of Swordsmanship to unlock. Here are all the swords with their skill levels and prices.

Name	Price	Skill level
Wooden Sword	70 Simoleons	0
Classic Longsword	230 Simoleons	2
Bellacorde Rapier	325 Simoleons	5
Dambele Saber	325 Simoleons	5
Verdemar Falcata	325 Simoleons	5

How to get Swords in The Sims 4

You can aquire Swords by visiting the Blacksmith or exploring Ondarion in The Sims 4. A selection of Swords is available to buy from this shop, but there are many others that can only be found by venturing around the world and tackling other tasks.

Simcalibur, for example, is a sword you must pull from a stone in the courtyard by the Ye Old Voyager bar in Verdemar. You have to meet certain conditions to successfully free it, though, and some of the other Swords you can get your hands on around the world also have certain prerequisites. The only fast and easy way to get your hands on a Sword is by visiting the Blacksmith once you have the right skill level to buy the one you’re after.

There are plenty of other tricky tasks to get done after successfully tracking down the Blacksmith. Next, you may want to learn where to find Willow Creek Archive, how to meet the Royal Envoy, where to find all Gibbi Point Butterflies and Moths, and how to complete the Tangible Traces quest.

Fantasy FC Team 1 is coming soon to FC 26, and you can expect some fantastic cards in Ultimate Team.

So far, EA Sports has been tight-lipped about what’s coming after Knockout Royalty. It appears that the ongoing promo will be a one-team affair, and Fantasty FC (or FC Fantasy) is all set to be the replacement. Let’s look at all the information that has already crept onto social media ahead of the official launch.

A few names have already popped up on social media who are expected to be part of the first team.

• Rafael Leao
• Salma Paralluelo
• Endrick
• Bruno Fernandes
• Antoine Semenyo

While the names are few as of writing, more leaks will appear closer to the release date. Fantasy FC will feature dynamic cards eligible for upgrades. The upgrades will be based on certain stipulations that will likely depend on real-life football. If you have played Ultimate Team in the last few years, you’ll have a fair idea about what to expect.

Fantasy FC will once again feature special cards for Heroes and Icons, along with cards of active footballers. A few of them have been leaked on social media.

This is the usual schedule EA Sports follows with promo launches. While most of the cards will be available in packs, we should get new SBCs and objectives to complete. These will be alternate options to get the promo cards without relying on pack luck. We will know which cards eventually make it to the first week of the new promo on Friday.
