Only those with knighthood may learn the forging trade skill. If you are a resident of a city or commune, you will automatically be a member of the forging cartel in that location and able to use the unique patterns of that cartel. Forging is the skill of creating a wide assortment of weapons and armour.  
Only those with [[knighthood]] may learn the '''Forging''' trade skill. If you are a resident of a city or commune, you will automatically be a member of the forging cartel in that location and able to use the unique patterns of that cartel. Forging is the skill of creating a wide assortment of weapons and armour.  


In order to forge something, you must first find a forge. Chances are it will not be burning, in which case you must buy some coal (probably at one of the markets), and put it in the forge. Then, you must <tt>FIRE FORGE</tt> to get it going. If a forge goes too long without anyone forging in it, then it will go out. Once you have got the forge going, you can try to forge something. Each item has certain commodity requirements which are viewable on the forging pattern you use.  
In order to forge something, you must first find a forge. Chances are it will not be burning, in which case you must buy some coal (probably at one of the markets), and put it in the forge. Then, you must <tt>FIRE FORGE</tt> to get it going. If a forge goes too long without anyone forging in it, then it will go out. Once you have got the forge going, you can try to forge something. Each item has certain commodity requirements which are viewable on the forging pattern you use.  


For all forging commands, you should use the exact pattern number of the item. Once you've established that you have the proper ingredients, you may <tt>FORGE FOR <pattern number></tt>. The commodities will be removed from your inventory and put in the forge, at which point you cannot recover them. You then simply continue to type <tt>FORGE</tt> everytime you regain balance. The exception is leather items, in which case you <tt>CRAFT <WEAPON or ARMOUR></tt> in place of <tt>FORGE</tt>. After a certain number of "forgings" (which differs for every item), you will have turned your useless mass of commodities into your desired item. However, the weapon or piece of armour will be an inferior product at this point. Continuing to <tt>FORGE</tt> will randomly and slowly raise the stats of your weapon or armour. In the case of weapons, the ones that can be raised are speed, damage, and precision. In the case of armour, the stats are protection vs. physical blunt damage and protection vs. physical cutting damage. There is a maximum number of times you can "forge" each item, and when this number is reached, you will be told, and any further forgings will be useless.  
For all forging commands, you should use the exact pattern number of the item. Once you've established that you have the proper ingredients, you may <tt>FORGE FOR <pattern number></tt>. The commodities will be removed from your inventory and put in the forge, at which point you cannot recover them.


Note that you '''can''' remove the item from the forge at anytime after it first becomes formed, but once removed, it cannot be forged again. It should be noted that refining some weapons with repeated "forgings" after the initial item is formed has great benefit (such as the better weapons and armour) while the benefit gained from refining, say, a club or dagger might not be worth it considering the time it takes. We will leave it to you to experiment and discover what works best. In order to see the statistics on a particular piece of weaponry or armour, you need the <tt>WEAPONPROBE</tt> ability in the [[Combat]] skill (it is quite low in it). Finally, forgers learn dwarven runes which may be inscribed with coal upon armour and weapons to improve their effectivness.
The exception is leather items, in which case you <tt>CRAFT <item> <number></tt> in place of <tt>FORGE</tt>, e.g. <tt>CRAFT SCABBARD <design #></tt>. Full details can be found in the AB for each relevant ability, e.g <tt>AB FORGING SCABBARDS</tt>.
 
Some items created with forging can be enhanced - see <tt>HELP ENHANCEMENTS</tt>.

This will raise or reduce the specified statistic of the weapon or armor by one point. You can do this to warrior or kata weapons, plate armour, or greathelm armour only. Increasing a stat costs 1 steel commodity. (Except for speed on a two-handed weapon, which costs double.) Decreasing a stat may sometimes reduce the useful lifespan of the item. Every stat has a minimum below which it cannot be reduced. There are also maximums, explained below. * Plate armour: 100 for each stat. 180 for the combined stats.
* Warrior one-handed weapons: 180 for damage, 235 for precision, and 280 for speed. Max weapon score is 480 for master weapons, 384 for standard weapons.
* Warrior two-handed weapons: 360 for damage, 517 for precision, and 280 for speed. Max weapon score is 480 for master weapons, 384 for standard weapons.
* Kata one-handed weapons: 110 for damage, 110 for precision, and 110 for speed. Max weapon score is 300.
* Kata two-handed weapons: 220 for damage, 220 for precision, and 220 for speed. Max weapon score is 600.
Note: A weapon's score is the sum of all stats for one-handed weapons. For two-handed weapons, divide the damage in half and the precision by 2.2, then add those values to the speed.

This skill will allow you to transform platemail into your personal master armour. Note that this will drain your personal power reserves which need to be at least at 50%. Because only one such master armour can exist, if you mark another platemail, the old one will be destroyed. Marking will give your armour +10/+10 cutting/blunt protection and that armour will not decay.


You may continue to wear your masterarmour after you have forgotten the forging skill, but not after you forget the knighthood skill.

Syntax:
FORGE FOR <design #> (iron and steel)

CRAFT WEAPON/ARMOUR <design #> (wood and leather)

Only those with knighthood may learn the Forging trade skill. If you are a resident of a city or commune, you will automatically be a member of the forging cartel in that location and able to use the unique patterns of that cartel. Forging is the skill of creating a wide assortment of weapons and armour.

In order to forge something, you must first find a forge. Chances are it will not be burning, in which case you must buy some coal (probably at one of the markets), and put it in the forge. Then, you must FIRE FORGE to get it going. If a forge goes too long without anyone forging in it, then it will go out. Once you have got the forge going, you can try to forge something. Each item has certain commodity requirements which are viewable on the forging pattern you use.

For all forging commands, you should use the exact pattern number of the item. Once you've established that you have the proper ingredients, you may FORGE FOR <pattern number>. The commodities will be removed from your inventory and put in the forge, at which point you cannot recover them.

The exception is leather items, in which case you CRAFT <item> <number> in place of FORGE, e.g. CRAFT SCABBARD <design #>. Full details can be found in the AB for each relevant ability, e.g AB FORGING SCABBARDS.

Some items created with forging can be enhanced - see HELP ENHANCEMENTS.

Marking will increase the armour's protection from 20% to 25% and that armour will not decay. This armour must be a set you have personally crafted.

You may continue to wear your masterarmour after you have forgotten the forging skill, but not after you forget the knighthood skill.
