It takes 6 months and 15 men to make a traditional Japanese Katana. The process of making one is art. The whole documentary I was thinking of Lusty forgers and how they take days to make a masterpiece of a weapon. Maybe this documentary will inspire some forgers, because it sure made me want to go back to being a forger.

You're right Corinthian, forging SHOULD take longer
Shiri2008-07-10 10:13:21
It -can- take about 6 months.

You're right though, it should take 14 people afking that long, not just 1.

Shiri, you're an envoy, make it so
Shiri2008-07-10 10:29:05
No I'm not. I will ask Kinson though.

And in other news, the members of Forgers United! have gone on strike and no kata weapon or greatshield has been forged in two years.

Forging really does need fixed. A trade should not encourage AFKing. Perhaps give an option at near-trans to be able to set the stats a certain way but for 10x, 20x, 30x, etc the cost of one?
