[@RedDusk] If I remember correctly, [@Mae] mentioned something about 'thematic' weapons, as in rusted daggers and swords, splintering bows and staffs, etc. Kinda rudimentary weaponry for us to start with because we shouldn't all be fighting with our fists. If you want shiny, new weapons, then yes, you need the Blacksmith/Forge to be your unlock... but I hope you like spending all your moneys cuz that's where it's going.
