At number 5 comes Weaponsmith, and these villagers can be found in most villages. They trade emeralds for coal, iron, or flint. This may be an expensive trade because players might need coal or iron for themselves, but if they have an iron farm setup, then a lot of iron can be traded with weaponsmiths to obtain emeralds.
