 '''The Blacksmith's Cookbook''' is the name of a [[novel]] that details a list of recipes for crafting various weapons and armor using a forge. The book itself is not necessary for the forging process, and serves as a form of in-game reference. The first chapter is a general overview of how forging works, with subsequent chapters detailing possible combinations of all mundane objects and their end products&mdash;the list of recipes below is generally presented in the same order given by the in-game book.
-In EvilHack, The Blacksmith's Cookbook is always found in Goblin Town, where it is placed within a chest behind the [[iron bars]] of one of the cells&mdash;the cell is always the same per map, and the chest will also contain the blacksmith hammer. The book can also generate randomly or appear in bones files, making it possible to obtain multiple copies.

 In Hack'EM, the Goblin Town branch is deferred so that the item cannot be accessed normally, and its contents are instead made part of the main data base file.
