A blacksmith improves the attack value of troops by 1.5% per upgrade. Any troops you are able to produce will be listed on your blacksmith page, with the cost of upgrading to the next level (max, being the level of the actual blacksmith), and the cost of upgrading the blacksmith itself (to a maximum of level 20). These upgrades will not affect your hero, troops trained in your other villages, or other players' troops in your village. If you choose to demolish your blacksmith, you will not lose the upgrades to your troops. This should not to be confused with the Armoury.
Starting from Travian 4, This building is not available as it has been combined with the Armoury and has become the Smithy.

To work out how much of a boost use the below formula, which uses the example of a Roman Imperian
| Blacksmith upgrade level | |
| 0 | 70 |
| 1 | 71.1 (70*1.015^1) |
| 2 | 72.1 (70*1.015^2) |
| x | ? (70*1.015^x) |
For a Gaul Pathfinder:
| Blacksmith upgrade level | |
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 (0*1.015^1) |
| 2 | 0 (0*1.015^2) |
| x | 0 (0*1.015^x) |
If you test it in the combat simulator, increasing the level of your scouts lets you kill more scouts when defending, and lets more of your scouts survive when scouting someone else.
