Elegant blades yield +2% to damage while Superiors add 4% to damage and AVD (rounded down, so often +1 AVD). Limited quantities of Superior blades.

Many of these weapons have maple hilts/hafts, several have invar and modwir. Hilt/Haft name can deleted if you prefer the short description.

Customize your blade! "Elegant" blades can alternately be labeled: Flimsy, Crude, Simple, Plain, Lopsided, Fine, Nice, and Well-Made.

"Superior" have the same options plus: Hefty, Well-Crafted and Exquisite.

Mostly easily delivered to Landing or FWI, but other arrangements can be made. PM me or reply to me here.

Is it possible to forge a claidhmore or are there just certain weapon types that can't be forged?

[holocene]

I don't think we've ever been able to forge Claidhs...or any weapon base that is naturally weighted (katanas, mauls, etc.).

Can definitely do greatswords.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I remember someone describing perfect weapons (with the +6% AVD and +6% DF) being equivalent to lightly crit-weighted...and still blessable, but those perfect blades are darn expensive to make.

[Ebondale]

Can you operationalize 'darn expensive'?

[holocene]

Quick math would be:

Perfection consumes:

100 forged blades (at 5k per pound of vultite, average OHE requires 4 pounds, so 20k plus 12k for oil per attempt = 3.2m)
100 hilts/hafts (negligible costs if they're wood)

yields, one hopes, at least 10 superior blades & hilts.

hopefully get a "best vise" rate of 1 in 10 from those superiors to yield a perfect. Of course, could run through those 10 and get nothing.

And, that's not taking into account the value of time (from 30 - 70 minutes per attempt depending on the weapon base). So what I'm selling here today will hopefully finance further forging.

I've managed to make one perfect in all this time, a Perfect Vultite warsword, which I'm offering in my shop for 10m. Have seen them priced from 5m up.

Forging is ultimately the domain of those of us who are max- / math- / margin-oriented.

Interesting... so all these blades.. elegant, superior, perfect... They're all actually 0x but they have innate bonuses based upon the quality of the forging that was done on them. So these blades can be further enchanted to say, 7x by a wizard?

[holocene]

well...blades have the enchant of the material. so 4x for vultite.

and they can be further wizard enchanted.


I've seen some people like to take the imflass blades and have them enchanted up to +22...since they cost something like 75% of vultite to forge, and the forge time on imflass is quicker, too. And it's only a minor enchant project.

If you're going to enchant a forged blade, that might be the way to go.

[Ebondale]

Imflass is also a stronger metal than vultite is if I am not mistaken? (As far as breakage is concerned.)

[Eclectic]

I've got a superior greataxe forged by Brinemead and I have to say I love it. In an Amazon's hands it's vicious!

the Str/Dur on most of these blades is 90/200, vultite and imflass.

Just a note, mauls aren't naturally crit weighted, but I don't think there has ever been a maul glyph released. The only (relatively) mass production weapons that I can think of that are naturally crit weighted are claids and katanas

[holocene]

bump...edited for items still in inventory.

[WhiteTrash]

Got a couple of the supperior imflass flamberges?

[septus]

afaik crit weighted weapon glyphs are supported by the system, but none have ever been released (one of the GMs that deals with forging teased us with making vultite claidhmores with a claidhmore glyph to see if it could be done)
