What? Really? That anvil animation would be stupid if it was just for the acendency. When I saw it in the video, I was so sure, it was the mtx.

The anvil is just a cosmetic effect (a twitch drop). I think it appears when you kill a rare or unique monster and has nothing to do with the blacksmith acendency.

Don’t feed the troll

If a firefox add-on is okay: Brief

Sure they could, but why would they?
