New Building - Blacksmith
Level 1 - allows 5% faster horse speed
Level 2 - allows 10% faster horse speed
Level 3 - allows 20% faster horse speed
Level 4 - allows upgrading of weapons from Rusty to regular weapon
Level 5 - allows upgrading of weapons from regular to Sharp/Precise
The Blacksmith would almost function as a Quest Giver in order to partake of it's benefits. To make the requirements fair for melee and ranged players I suggest the following:
For faster horses:
An example of how it would work:
You go to the blacksmith because you want to make your Pony go 10% faster. You click on the Blacksmith and he will ask you if you are there to have your horse fitted or for weapon upgrades. You choose the horse fitting 10% faster option. At this point you will get a quest like screen. The blacksmith will say something like "Bring me 4 horseshoes and $50" and the reward would be your Pony gets 10% faster speed tacked on to its current speed. You go out and do Shoeing Horses until you have 4 horseshoes and make sure you have $50. You go back to the blacksmith, open up the quest like window again and click 'Complete Transaction" or something like that. Your Pony will now have a speed of 60% rather than 50%. The horseshoes and $50 is deducted from your inventory and bank account.
It is just a basic outline. I know it needs tweaked.

The Blacksmith would almost function as a Quest Giver in order to partake of it's benefits. To make the requirements fair for melee and ranged players I suggest the following:
For faster horses:
- Melee would have to bring 4 horseshoes to the blacksmith. Job Shoeing Horses - 92 difficulty and 22% product find
- Ranged would have to bring 3 maps to the blacksmith. Job Exploration - 111 difficulty, 15% product find
- Upgraded horse speed is horse specific for the one you have equipped. If you buy a new horse you have to upgrade that horse by giving the blacksmith the required products.
- There will also be a fee to upgrade your horse. The price would be 10% of the purchase price of your horse.
- If you upgrade the same horse from 5% to 10% the percentages are not cumulative. Your horse will not be 15% faster, only 10% faster from its normal speed.
- Melee would bring the blacksmith 10 Iron Rods. Job Iron Mining, Difficulty 176, 38% product find.
- Ranged would bring 5 Dynamite. Job Transporting Ammo, Difficulty 144, 5% product find.
- Weapon upgrades are weapon specific for what you have equipped. If you buy a new weapon you must upgrade the new weapon separately.
- There will be an additional fee to upgrade your weapon. If you upgrade a Rusty to a regular weapon, the fee will be the difference between the 2 purchase prices of that weapon. Example: Rusty Razor to Razor. Rusty Razor costs $64, Razor costs $146. You will be charged $82 to upgrade the Rusty Razor.
- You can not upgrade a Rusty Razor to a Sharp Razor. You must first upgrade it to Razor. Then you can upgrade it to Sharp Razor.
- You must meet the minimum level requirements in order to carry your new weapon. If you do not you will not be allowed to upgrade the weapon.
