Blacksmith
Rise of Kingdoms Guide
The Blacksmith is where you can produce materials in order to produce special items for your commanders. You'll also need to collect blueprints too.
Basically, every time you log into the game, remember to check your blacksmith and make sure is queue is full and producing items. Even if you don't know what you want to eventually make at the Blacksmith, just make sure you are producing something as the best items will require tons of materials. When you select items to produce the screen will also show you how much of each item you already have, try to produce things in equal amounts more or less.
Once you have a lot of each material you can think about combining items, the game will help you do this and basically you need to combine items in order to produce higher level materials which are needed for the better items for your commanders.
This is the same with Blueprints, you'll need to collect as many of these as you can, and you can also combine these, to make the blueprints for the more powerful items.
