Weaponsmith Workshop

The Weaponsmith Workshop is the primary weapon crafting and upgrade station in Windrose. It unlocks through the Copper Ingots discovery and handles all melee and firearm recipes, as well as weapon ascension from Rare to Epic using Tumbaga Ingots.

Recipe

Upgrades

Each companion upgrade raises the Weaponsmith's effective level, unlocking higher-tier recipes. The Anvil is the first major upgrade and gates mid-tier iron weapons; the Bellows is the late-game Cursed Swamps tier that opens endgame weapon recipes.

Functions

• Craft all melee weapons (sabers, rapiers, greatswords, clubs, halberds)

• Craft all firearms (pistols, muskets, blunderbusses)

• Upgrade weapons up to level 8 at the Upgrade System paired Upgrading Station

• Ascend Rare weapons to Epic using Tumbaga Ingots

Notable Crafted Weapons

The Executioner halberd is a standout craftable: 10 Wood + 7 Copper Ingots produces a Rare halberd (100 ATK / 335 Crude / Strength scaling) with stacks of the Decimation effect: each kill grants a Decimation stack that adds +10% Critical Hit Chance, up to 30% Critical Hit Chance at 3 stacks. Other notable crafts include basic-tier Sabers, Rapiers, Clubs, Pistols, and Muskets that serve as workhorses through the mid-game.

Roof Requirement Checklist

The Weaponsmith Workshop is the most commonly-cited example of a station that only functions under a roof. If you walk up to the station and recipes show as greyed out despite having materials in range, the first diagnostic is always overhead coverage. A single flat roof tile directly above the workbench satisfies the check; walls are not required and a ground floor tile beneath the station is optional.

This is the same rule that governs the Alchemy Table, Armor and Clothing Workshop, Enchanting Table, Jewellery Table, and Shipwright's Workshop, so most players build a single roofed hut at their main camp and cluster all of them together.

Upgrade Versus Ascension

The Weaponsmith does two different operations on weapons, and it is easy to confuse them early on.

Upgrade a weapon as far as it can go at each tier before you ascend it. Ascension adds a unique effect on top of whatever the weapon already does, but does not replace the underlying stat line, so a fully upgraded blue weapon ascends into a significantly stronger epic than an unupgraded one. If you are unsure whether to upgrade a given weapon, the Disassembly Table will refund all of the base materials used on an upgrade pathway (though not the Tumbaga Ingot from ascension), so experimentation is safe.

Notable Ascension Effects

Ascension bonuses are unique per weapon and often define a build. A few confirmed from player reports:

The Rapier transfer effect is especially strong in multi-enemy encounters and against pirate camps; a single full-stack kill can clear a chain of nearby targets without any extra hits from you.

The Executioner's Ward bonus is one of the best defensive tools in melee builds. A Strength-scaling player who invests in the temporal health talents can chain kills to maintain Rage, and the Ward window on ascension creates survival stretches long enough to trade blows with most bosses without healing.

Notable Craftable Weapons

The Weaponsmith is not only an upgrade station; several standout weapons are crafted directly rather than found. These give early blueprint holders a reliable starting loadout.

Upgrade Cost Economics

Upgrade costs climb quickly relative to the base craft cost. A typical weapon craft uses a handful of copper ingots, but a full level-eight upgrade path can consume dozens of iron ingots, several hardwood stacks, and uncommon drops. The Disassembly Table fully refunds the base ingredients used in upgrades, so no rank-up is a wasted investment if you later replace the weapon. The Tumbaga Ingot spent on an ascension, however, does not refund.

Workers add further efficiency. Jasper Crowe, a crew member hired in Tortuga for 500 piastres, is a tailor whose Thrifty Tailor perk gives a 30% chance to recover resources spent on upgrades. His perk applies at the Armor and Clothing Workshop, not the Weaponsmith, so assign him there at the bonfire workers panel. Because upgrade costs are high in the late game, an assigned recovery worker pays for itself quickly.
