To forge or not to forge...

[Caesius]

During my time here I've heard a number of things in regards to how items will be made on the server. I don't have all the details but I just wanted to get your thoughts on another of the trademark items of the first BSK: The Mystic Forge.

Now I have heard that the Forge will not be implemented this time around. That stones can simply be added on the spot. No doubt at least some of the effects will be skill dependent. To counter this however, I know of at least one character who has found a Key to the Mystic Forge. Does it still exist somewhere? Is it merely moved or lost? I do not know. All I know is that searches in the frozen wastes have proven fruitless to this date. Maybe someday an earthquake or something will uncover the cave once more or perhaps another, similar relic left by the Ancients might be discovered in a remote and dangerous place. Either way I know I look forward to finding a forge like back in the old days.

I'm just wondering: Will I will need the Craft Magic Arms and Armor and Craft Wondrous Items feats?

I was thinking if I do add a forge. It would be more along the lines of having an altar at your deities temple.
It would work similar to the old one, but the backstory would be that the enchantments come from your deity.

Could the forge produce semi-predictable results that are in theme with each deity? Would you consider adopting any elements of a recipe style system like the Magician's Workbench from the OC? If, for example, I had a roleplaying concept that involves a character with an ice theme, is there anything that a player/crafter can do to improve the odds of getting an ice type weapon?

at least semi predictable results would be nice considering that I have only found 1 imbueing stone and I have killed ALOT of monsters.

That works too.

Ok, deity the altar forge thing is in. You need to follow Vor, Kazra or Lia. The altars are in the respective deities temples.

Woot. I found Lia's Temple the other day. What is required to do the forging? or is that for you to know and for us to find out?

You will need an imbuing stone.

And a high craft skill I'm assuming ? and btw the monsters that were in lia's temple didnt spawn this time around ( Dont know if that is intentional or not )

Also, I am not so sure that I found lIa's temple now. on my map it says that I am in the Elemental Temple of Water. But there is a shrine to Lia in a room.

I took the mobs out. I will put NPCs in there to let you change your deity like in BSK1.

Are the gods going to be updated with favored weapons like Lia favoring the Spear so that we can start playing the Favored Soul class?
