## What is Idle Blade Smith?

Your master left for the north with nothing but a note. "Look after the forge. Don't set the anvil on fire."

The smithy is yours now. Mine the ore, smelt the iron, and combine blades, grips and guards into swords. Hand those swords to knights and send them into dungeons. What they bring back becomes a better sword, and a better sword reaches deeper.

Work continues while the app is closed. Your miners and workbenches keep going, and materials are waiting when you return.

■ What you do · Combine blades, grips, guards and jewels into your own swords. Every combination changes the traits and effects. · Hit a hidden recipe and you forge a named sword. Filling the codex makes every future sword stronger. · Swing the hammer yourself in a short minigame to raise grade and quality. · Hire knights, run expeditions, and conquer dungeons to unlock new materials and regions. · Open new mines and forests, assign workers, and upgrade every facility. · Deliver village orders to earn fame and climb through titles. · Pass the forge to the next generation for permanent bonuses, new weapons like axes, and new regions. · A light, funny story with plenty to read hidden throughout.

■ Our promises · No loot boxes. Every purchase shows exactly what you get. · Rewarded ads only. You watch when you choose to, and never have to. · Plays fine offline. · Available in Korean, English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-23

- Every customer portrait is redrawn at a higher resolution, so faces and clothes read clearly.
- The forge and the workshop now say what each piece of furniture is making and how long is left, right in the room. No need to open a tab.
- Deliver straight from the Customer of the Day card. No trip to the village.
- Parts are chosen from a list box. The chosen part is shown large, and blades list their attack.
- Gathering sites, facilities and work slots sit two to a row, so screens are shorter. Only the selected site expands.
- The dungeon list shows names only and expands the one you tap. A dungeon you are away in still shows its time left.
- What you earned while away is gathered into a single panel.
- Switching weapons now remembers the blade you picked before.
- The theme picker is gone; the game keeps its one charcoal look.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-19

A Sword for a Customer: craft a sword for three villagers. Each sword comes back with the story it lived, and you can care for that same sword again.
Blade mastery: the more you forge a blade, the more often Legendary and Ancient appear. Manual forging counts triple, and full mastery guarantees Legendary or better.
Reforging: sacrifice matching swords and gold to raise a sword's grade for certain.
Make it all: queue the missing parts, ingots and planks in one tap. Tap a missing material to go where it comes from.
Hold to upgrade repeatedly, deliver all orders, auto assign workers, per-material auto sell, and equip best.
Inventory sorting and sword locks, remembered expedition parties, and a choice of notification types.
When you come back, restart idle work and resend expeditions in one tap.
A full warehouse no longer wastes materials, they are sold for gold. Deep site yields are rebalanced.
Customer portraits, less explanatory text on screen, and refined story dialogue.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-17

The workshop station you need for your current goal now glows gold, so you always know where to tap.
A full warehouse no longer wastes what your workers bring back. Overflow is sold off to a peddler for gold.
Per-run yields at deeper sites are rebalanced to fit your warehouse.
New "Equip best" button in the Knights tab hands out your best swords in one tap.
Save codes in Settings: copy on one device, paste on another to move your progress.
Portraits for all 27 order customers.
"Start over" moved to the title screen as "New game".
A simpler screen before your first sword, plus screen reader improvements.
