From Travian v2 Wiki (S2-S6), the encyclopedia anybody can edit
The Blacksmith is the building in which you can upgrade your troops' offense.
The level of your blacksmith dictates the level of the research you may undertake, ie with a level 2 blacksmith you can upgrade any of your troops' offense up to level 2. To upgrade them to level 5 you would need a level 5 blacksmith.
How do upgrades work?
Each upgrade level adds a cummulative bonus of 1.5% to the attack rating of a unit. Here is an explanation of how upgrades would work with a Roman Legionnaire based on a post by Mon-K on the Travian Forum:
For example, your Roman Legionnaire will have:
40 without any Blacksmith upgrades.
40.6 with the Level 1 upgrade.
41.2 with the Level 2 upgrade.
And so on.
Each time an upgrade is completed it is granted instantly to all past and future troops (whether they are in the village or on an attack, returning, training, etc.) These bonuses are especially useful when you have large numbers (100+) of troops.

Is there any problem with the first level of the Blacksmith(time)? No, you need Main Building level 3 to build Blacksmith level 1
