Tale of 2 Blacksmiths?

[Tyler McRae]

Is there any actual difference between the two ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, or can I just choose whoever? I chose the son last time, so I'm curious if there's actually something different.

[Matthew]

Just the bonuses they add to an item crafted at them. Though I use the Black Legion smiths over both of them, so never really cared. I just pick the older dude since he is already right there.

Pretty sure each has there own few unique items they craft, not worth much besides t-mog completionist. You Can get one in one difficulty and the other in another difficulty and have access to each bonus. Like Matthew said tho there bonuses arent the best so, it doesnt matter alot.

[Atomic Kid]

yes but agriam is better cause his bonuses are better, duncan doesnt really have any good completion bonuses

Angrim is ultimate baesmith

Angrim is Alpha male, and Duncan is just a male.

If an item you craft allow for a random stat, the two blacksmiths pull those random stats from two different pools. Duncan's tends to be more magic oriented while Angrim's tend to be more physical oriented.

Good to know. That really help, TY man.

There is minor difference between the passive bonuses they give to your newly crafted items but because i am what i am i've always picked angrim. It doesn't really matter.

I was thinking this was changed at AoM launch? Since they added more blacksmiths, I thought the pools of skills were more randomly distributed. I could be wrong, but I seem to recall something changed.

angrim imbues one of the following properties:
3- 7% pierce resist
3 - 7% increased armor
2 - 4% physique

duncan imbues one of the following properties:
5 - 11% increased energy reg
3 - 5% elemental resist
2 - 4% physique

Also both offer exclusive low lvl rare items for crafting but honestly those items are not much of a game changer.
