Haedrig Eamon is the Blacksmith Artisan in Diablo 3. He is encountered in New Tristram, then joins the Caravan and serves as the game's Blacksmith, making weapons, armor and anything that is required for the hero during his or her travels throughout Sanctuary. He also salvages items into Materials that he can then use to fashion the items for you.

Salvaging[edit | edit source]

The blacksmith's salvage interface.

Salvaging is breaking down equipment into materials. All equipment can be salvaged as long as they were not purchased from vendors. The materials given are based on the items color and whether it is level 1-60 or 61-70. See the Materials article for more information. The Blacksmith does this for free and he requires no training to do so. There is a confirmation prompt when the player tries to salvage legendary or set items. Enter can be used to confirm.

Training[edit | edit source]

The Blacksmith can be trained up through 12 levels of proficiency. As he increases in skill he gains new titles and access to higher level plans to craft better items for your characters.

His appearance improves as well, with his wagons growing more elaborately-decorated, and more cool stuff appearing in his display.

Training the Blacksmith is not free; each level requires gold. Each rank has 5 levels

Rank	Gold Per Level
Rank 1-2	1k
Rank 3-4	2k
Rank 5-6	4k
Rank 7-8	8k
Rank 9-10	10k
Rank 11	20k

In order train the first level of Rank 10, one Death's Breath is needed, which are only found from level 61-70.

Crafting[edit | edit source]

The Blacksmith is able to craft weapons and armour as long as you have the correct materials and enough gold. He needs to be trained to learn new plans and the higher level he is the better equipment he can create.

Check the Crafting article for more details.

Lore/Backstory[edit | edit source]

Haedrig's quest.

Haedrig was a young husband and father in New Tristram, when the fiery Meteor crashed down through the Monastery. In the chaos and demonic uprising that followed, his wife and child were slain, then returned to half-life as hideous zombies. Brokenhearted over their undead fate, Haedrig beseeches the hero to find them and destroy them, putting their souls to rest. This will be done at the beginning of A Shattered Crown quest.

Once the deed is done, Haedrig agrees to use his blacksmithing skills to assist your hero in the battle against evil. Like the other important NPCs, Haedrig travels with the caravan throughout the entire game, and is present in town in each act.

Development History[edit | edit source]

During development, many of his talents were redistributed.

Haedrig initially socketed items. That talent was subsequently moved to the jeweler, before being removed from the game entirely.
Haedrig initially made all repairs. That talent was taken from him and distributed to the other NPC merchants. A Repairs tab was returned to Haedrig in Patch 1.0.4.
Haedrig was formerly the source of the Nephalem Cube (used to Salvage items) as a quest reward. That object was removed from the game in the big interface revisions of Beta Patch 10.

-[[File:Blacksmith-interface1.jpg|thumb|260px|The Blacksmith's interface, [[Training]].]]
-Haedrig handles all salvaging, and also crafting. He makes numerous types of armor and weapons, and learns new recipes as he levels up, as well as from crafting plans found by players. He does not buy or sell items.
-*[[Crafting]]
-When the [[Artisan]] system was announced, all three Artisans had some crafting abilities. The [[Jeweler]] crafted rings and amulets, the [[Mystic]] crafted spell-caster items like wands and orbs, and the Blacksmith crafted other weapons and armor. This system evolved during development, with jewelry crafting removed (likely to return in an expansion), and spell-caster item crafting moved to Haedrig, even before the Mystic was removed from the game during the beta test.
+:* Check the [[Crafting]] article for more details.
-*[[Salvaging]]
+==Associated Achievements==
-Salvaging was originally accomplished with the [[Nephalem Cube]]. After that item was removed from the interface, a salvaging tab was added to Haedrig's interface.

-*[[Training]]
-Haedrig must be trained in order to learn higher level recipes that keep him useful to your character as you level up. The costs and requirements for training have changed repeatedly during development. As of March 2012, training Haedrig up to about level 3.5, which grants him recipes with character level requirements into the high 20s, costs only gold.  Higher levels of training, accomplished during Nightmare, Hell, and Inferno, require gold, as well as materials and [[Pages of Training]].
+==Lore/Backstory==
-Haedrig formerly handled [[socketing]] but that talent was given to the Jeweler. He also lost his repair monopoly, and now various NPC merchants provide that, along with selling and buying weapons and armor.

-Haedrig's wagon and general shop appearance will change, growing more shiny and impressive, as he is leveled up.  Each of the Artisans in Diablo III has 10 levels to upgrade through.
-This happens for all of the Artisans, but Haedrig's are the best documented as he's been trainable up to level 5 during the beta test, and other higher level wagon images have been released by Blizzard.
