Anvil is a crafting attachment for the Weaponsmith Workshop and Shipwright's Workshop in Windrose. It unlocks a slate of weapon and ship-component recipes that require heavy metallurgy.
Placement
Property | Value |
|---|---|
Parent Stations | Weaponsmith Workshop, Shipwright's Workshop |
Placement Rule | Inside the parent station's Bonfire build radius |
Community databases note that the Anvil recipe appears in an unusual form (the recipe lists "Anvil" as both an input and an output, suggesting a schematic path via an Anvil plan rather than a direct material list). The practical behavior: follow the in-game recipe prompt at the Workbench panel. Where the exact input line differs from community sources, the in-game panel is authoritative.
What It Unlocks
Weaponsmith Workshop. The Anvil stacks with the Bellows to unlock Rare-tier weapon recipes. Firearms in particular gate behind the Anvil plus Bellows combination, including the Reliable Pistol and Buccaneer's Friend
Shipwright's Workshop. Unlocks advanced cannon variants and higher-tier hull components. Players working toward the Frigate often need the Anvil for auxiliary ship equipment rather than for the hull itself
Dual-Station Behavior
Because the Anvil attaches to both the Weaponsmith Workshop and the Shipwright's Workshop, a single Anvil can serve both stations if they share a Bonfire radius. Most players build one Workshop zone around a shared Bonfire with the Anvil, Bellows, and a Smelting Furnace all in range, rather than duplicating attachments for each station.
