==Appearance and Upgrades==
[[File:Blacksmith-wagon-concept.jpg|thumb|150px|Wagon upgrade concept art.]]Haedrig's wagon and general shop appearance will change, growing more shiny and impressive, as he is leveled up. Each of the Artisans in Diablo III has 10 levels to upgrade through.
This happens for all of the Artisans, but so far the only in-game images released for any of them are of the Blacksmith and his cart. You can compare the concept art, to the right, to the in-game appearance at the first, second, and fifth (highest) levels from screenshots, in the compilation image below.
