All Cosmicfire at the same int DOES do the same damage.Â

No, Cosmicfire goes up in damage as your level of Cosmic rises.
Sylphas2005-07-25 23:00:44
Yes, well, assuming trans guild skills at least, all those attacks should do the same base damage, barring sceptres and varying int and such.

Considering that Forging is economically one of the worst possible trade skills, possibly only behind Poisons, I don't consider the fact that we are equipped with the best armor and weapons an unfair advantage.

I didn't mean to suggest it was an unfair advantage at all. Just that it is an advantage, and that must be kept in mind when evaluating what constitutes "reasonably good" stats on a weapon for you, vs. for the rest of us.

Heh, up to the level of the weakest damage skill in Lusternia?
Terenas2005-07-26 02:09:14
That's not true though, everything but a fullplate can be forged by any other forger for a warrior's use. I'm currently using 2 rapiers forged by someone else. It doesn't matter if you are a forger or not, as long as you have money, you can afford the best of equipments, aside from fullplate.
Gwylifar2005-07-26 02:17:39
Can, but never actually do. Very few non-forgers have weapons that even compare to those that forgers have. When it's hard to get a forger to do one forging for you within a week of asking, how much harder is it to get one to do 150?
Marcalo2005-07-26 02:25:14
not that hard if your part of mag, most of the mag cits come to me and give me the comms and give me a general area of the stats they want and i forge until i get them for them, but i am weird like that, i use the forging time to do other things like tamper with my system and such, i've sat and forged for people for 13 hours once, and still didn't get the stats i wanted so i went to bed got up and forged some more in the morning.

I currently have very high speed rapiers from Melancthon, I had to wait for 5 days to get them. Diamanta got his 200+ damage swords from a forger friend. Thorgal had some very good rapiers and a good katana made by Melancthon as well. As I said, as long as it is not a fullplate, anyone can get a great weapon or piece of fieldplate, chain, etc. Just as long as you have the gold or connection.
Sylphas2005-07-26 04:58:37
They're not great though, if everyone has them. They're average.
Terenas2005-07-26 05:08:05
Thank you for agreeing then, the best thing about Forgers are runes and masterarmor, anything else can be obtained as long as you are rich. So let's get back to talking about waraxes.

You are such a liar. I still got those broadswords you forged for me, And they STILL give me nightmares. But I agree with Terenas - as long as you had the cash, you were looking at top quality equipment anyways.
Asarnil2005-07-26 05:30:38
Oh and just as an aside. On Achaea, it wasn't uncommon for me to pay to get 2-300 rapiers/axes forged at a time so I could get the best picks out of the lot. And there we didn't even have the partial return of funds that smelting gets you.

well get your butt back on and give me them you said the stats were ok so i gave you the weapons if you wanted better you shoulda thrown them back at me and told me to forge them.
