Epic Weapons are weapons made with specific parts that provide a bonus to all weapons on the day that they were created. There are 14 Epic Weapons per weapon type (i.e., there are 14 Epic Swords, 14 Epic Maces, etc) and 84 Epic Weapons in total.
Players obtain Epic Weapon designs by defeating all the monsters on the trail in a day.
Cannonballs[]
Please refer to this article for a more detailed explanation of the cannonballs.
- Bombs: Fired by Scout; to use them, the player can either click on a bomb's icon or press its hotkey (1 for Cannonball, 2 for Fireball, etc.). Two of them are beneficial for the soldiers, and the rest damage or hinder enemies.
- Cannonball
- Fire Bomb
- Repair Bomb
- Electric Bomb
- Booster Bomb
- Ice Bomb
Weapon Parts[]
Please refer to this article for a more detailed explanation of the weapon parts.
Weapons in Jacksmith are composed of individual weapon parts that are assembled together. Some parts are common to multiple weapon types (e.g., grips are used in swords, bows, axes, maces and pikes), but the quantity and types of parts used vary among the different weapon types.
There is one weapon part for each type of parts with no Elemental Bonus that the player has an infinite supply of. Other weapon parts have Elemental Bonuses but must be collected during battle or bought from Gander's shop.
Weapon Stats[]
Each weapon has two main stats: Power and Durability. Power is the attack strength of the weapon, and Durability is how long the weapon lasts before breaking. Some weapon parts also have a Luck stat. Luck is the chance to make enemies drop more loot or better loot when attacked.
Hammering the blades of swords and pikes poorly, stretching the arms of a bow crookedly, attaching the blades and spikes of an axe poorly, painting a shield incompletely and attaching the spikes of a mace incorrectly will decrease the Power of a weapon.
Dropping the weapon parts onto a weapon off-center, placing a crest of a shield off-center and overheating the metal used for a weapon will decrease the Durability of a weapon.
Attaching a weapon part poorly will make the weapon fail to receive the full Elemental Bonus (if there is one).
Elements[]
There are eight different elements in Jacksmith: Fire, Water, Ice, Stone, Wind, Lightning, Plant, and Shadow. Some enemies are Elemental Enemies (they are enchanted with a certain element). They are weak to the element they are enchanted with (e.g. enemies enchanted with Fire are weak to Fire-boosted weapons). Enemies that are not Elemental Enemies are Basic.
Each weapon type has one Elemental boost (available once the player unlocks that weapon type) and three extra Elemental boosts that can be unlocked by filling the weapon type's Star Meter. The player can collect or buy weapon parts that give Elemental boosts to their weapons.

Trivia[]
- In the minigame Mitch's Mess, all the ores from this game are hidden in the scene.
- This game and Papa's Pancakeria are the only games with grill/forge boosters that do not need to be bought.
- There is a Jacksmith arcade game that can be bought from the shop in Papa's Hot Doggeria, Cupcakeria, and Pastaria. In Papa's Donuteria and Cheeseria, it is a rare prize.
- When brainstorming ideas for the game, Matt and Tony initially thought of using small animals like mice instead of the larger barnyard animals that are currently in the game.[1]
- Jacksmith was the second most difficult non-gameria game for Matt and Tony to develop, and they worked on it for close to a year.[2]
Trophies/Awards[]
Jacksmith won the Best Strategy Game of 2012 on Armor Games[3][4] and a Mochi for Best Game Art.[5][6]
