Right, I have a old Plat hammer with 100 charges before the change was made on donation hammers not requiring skill.
So, I need 240 Smithy, I have 230 and not sure what I am missing. Here is what I have.


+10 Shoes
+10 Short Pants
+10 Cloa
+10 Half Apron
+10 Shirt
Gloves of the hard worker - +10
+50 ASH
120 Skill


= 230


Now first thought isa +10 Shash is needed, I did donate and get the Smithy set but it did not come with a sash, just the above items minus the Gloves.
So is there anything else other than the Sash I can increase Smithy with?

+3 bs gear from bods is fairly easy to get, so gorget, sleeves, chest and cap would add 12 bs to ur suit. Also, did you check if a doublet was available from donation items?

Probably not a popular opinion, but I think the 240 Skill Requirement is quite a lot to swallow, given the chances of even producing a highly desirable weapon.  Note that I am saying weapon, because let's face it, crafted armor really isn't anything to write home about.  For every triple leech you produce, you have a pile of 100+ less desirable weapons, not to mention the amount of time and effort that goes into even obtaining a runic hammer/saw/kit.

We are looking into all the details on how to balance the crafting system, we are still adjusting and testing atm.  We also still have the rewards to add and will make a big difference, you will get desirable rewards based on the level of difficulty and luck:)

As the rewards become more available through hard work, it will become easier to make top weapons.  We want blacksmith to be a very important skill again and your maker's mark will mean something!

Sorry but i disagree, i love the 240 min skill, as for the 1 out of 100 for triple leech i guess you are just unlucky, i am making one for every 30-40 ish uses. Maybe luck plays a role, dunno.

  Nah Norton, your opinion is well founded. No one likes to go to work either, but we all still do it everyday. Even those one in a million jobs that you live to do, have there hard days.

 Anyways my point is your opinion is a reflection of what you have experienced. Thorgal's opinion is different due to luck/skill or chance-- real luck--. However, what we should all learn from this is the new system is new, and needs to be tested to be fully understood. Bad luck today could mean better productions down the road. Communication has given me hope, and hopefully you, too. I am in the same boat as you Norton, making tons of junk. But its fun, cause tomorrow is a new day to make something shiney.  8)

  And just for the record; if making highly desirable weapons was easy than everyone would make them for only themselves, and not buy them from others. This would hinder the EVO, player based, economy.  :(

  Be well all, that's all I got.

I would say it already is, i have players waiting a few weeks for a special order weapon which cost a lot when other vendors have exactly the weapon and mods they want. For that reason and the price of runics im not selling anything i craft cheap, people know who the quality and expérienced crafters are and dont hesitate paying more. Im sure Essence of Fek, Mofawka and the other crafters would agree.

Now its a question of getting people educated and sellers holding their ground when pricing crafted weapons, lets face it, even if you dont take into account the price of runics, the blacksmithy suits we use were'nt cheap to build.

Just my opinion.

Are you going to start the crafters union? Don't buy cheaply made axes and bows from Ilshenar or Ter Mur, buy domestic, buy Britannian!  :P
