The Forge

I expect lots of people will be doing forging, not just Ulm, and Shinuyama. Everybody forging whatever they can. So if you need something forged, place your request here and whoever can forge it will respond and may ask for the necessary gems as well. Any trading of already forged items can take place on the marketplace thread.

Thanks.

Might as well get this request in early.

By the end of year 2 I'd like at least one fire booster and ballpark 5-10 crystal shields.

I think we need to get anti-shock items forged as soon as possible, especially with both Van an eriu on the vet side and eriu pushing magic so hard. I believe Caelum would be best for this probably, but if anybody else can forge them it might be good to do so or look into it.

Please, if you can feasibly forge anti-schock rings speak up. Unfortunately I don't have any air magic.

I can forge the cheap rings with Pythium's theurgs, but I probably wont have mages available for that until I get a second fortress up (hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later).

Speaking of the Ring of Tamed Lightning, I have a feeling that I will need one for my pretender ASAP... in my tests, the only independants that consistently sent my dragon packing were the illusionists. And I'll be suprised if neither of the air nations are on the north side.

I'm at Construction-0 (well, I'm at Everything-0 still ). Has anyone else hit higher Construction levels?

Hm, I'm still thinking it would be nice to have a separate thread where people can list all their current research levels (not just construction), something that can be edited, like the map-page, so you can look at the first post in the thread, and see the latest status.

I'm starting research on construction since I'll have evocation-3 next turn.

I'm at C=0 as well but if people would like to post here when they attain a new construction level and/or what in demand/unique items you may be able to forge, I'll keep track by editing the main post regularly with updated construction levels. No biggie.

A general research thread is actually a good idea... maybe i'll start one. I have a turn 6 Vet review to finish...

After I get Evoc 5 ill start on const and begin to forge anti-lit rings and such.

I am now construction 2. Soon I'll have enchantresses for magical item forging too.

If anyone can forge a ring or amulet or water breathing, or that armor that does the same thing (can't remember the name) I'd appreciate it. Forgot I had to go up to E2 to get revive king.

Shambler skin armor.

Yeah that's the thing! Too bad carrion summons can't move underwater like some other undead.

If anyone could supply me with any of the following equipment for my Skrattis that would be great:

Const 0: Snake Ring (N1)

Const 2: Pendent of Luck (S1), Snake Bladder Stick (N1), Horror Helmet (D2), Boots of the Messenger (N1), Horned Helmet (N1)

Const 4: Any area effect stuff - Frost Brand (W1) etc. - I don't think anyone is at Construction 4 but I'll ask anyway

Plus any Shields, Helmets or Weapons that are not too encumbering. So NOT the Black Plate stuff

OK, I think this is definitely an emergency situation, and anyone who can help needs to make pitching in a priority!!! Sorry Hoplo that my research is still too low to be of much help in forging - are there any Const 0 A W or S items that might be useful to you? I'll have N1 mages starting next turn, and could forge Snake Rings, but I'd need someone to send me the gems to do it first.

Um, while Hoplo is obviously has the greatest need, now that I have N1 mages, I could use a Thistle Mace, whenever that becomes possible, and a couple of extra N gems to cast Hauruspex. If I get a lucky E1 random, I could use Earth Boots and some E gems too. Again, not a priority.

Let's take care of Hoplo first!

Assuming I can get back to my computer and resubmit a turn before the next one, I'll send you some of that. I have something like 40 nature gems sitting around gathering dust. I'm getting about 8 a turn. The cost to me is more in mage time, but that should just be getting cheaper.

Also, can someone send me earth gems so I can forge some more hammers? I have one on my eternal fever fetish forger, but it would be good to get more.

Ulm, can you set him up? Or are you close to Const-2, and can start banging out Hammers for everyone?

I'm forging a snake bladder stick and a horned helmet to send to you. I can send the 5 nature gems to replace someone else's in forging the snake ring. Boots of the messenger are const-4 or require more nature than I have or something. I can forge Birch Boots, though. I really shouldn't take 3 mages off of research, though.

If you're using mage support for your battles, Hoplo, do you need any gems in order to make your magic scarier?

Birch Boots are good too But don't kill your reserach over it. I should be able to make my own Snake Ring. But I won't be at Construction 2 for three turns (Cons 1 turn 10, nearly there turn 11. Complete turn 12.

I don't really have any battle magics. Just buffs really. So no need for any gems for battle.

How many earth gems do you need?
Also, I have couple of fire gems just sitting around. Would anybody need a few?

Sending Snake Bladder Stick and Horned Helmet to arrive on turn 11 to you, Hoplo.

10 earth gems would let me forge another hammer.

Thanks!

I wish I had some earth gems to send you. I do have some spare astral, death & nature. But I will be forging with most of them as i will actually reach Cons 2 next turn (a turn earlier than I thought).

I could use some Eyes of Aiming (or whatever they're called) - or any other gear that increases precision, really.

Can anyone forge some fire bolas? Don't have any fire gems to contribute but would give nature gems or gold if needed.
