'''Forging''' allowed an individual to use [[commodities]] to craft [[armour]], shields, and [[weapons|weaponry]], and it was available to those of the three knight [[:category:classes|classes]]: [[Paladin]], [[Infernal]], and [[Runewarden]].
:''The skill of Forging has been replaced with the skills of [[Weaponsmithing]] and [[Armoursmithing]].''


To begin the forging of a new item, a vacant [[forge]] had to first be located, and these could be found in all major [[city|cities]], as well as a few [[:category:villages|villages]]. After a [[coal]] was placed in the forge and lit in order to generate enough heat for crafting, the necessary commodities were then placed into the forge. Forging proceeded in two stages. First, the mass of commodities was formed into a crude weapon, shield, or set of armour; the second step was then refinement of the crude item. All forged items of the same type possessed equivalent statistics prior to refinement. Each refinement could randomly increase one statistic until the item was been fully crafted, at which point no further refinement was possible.

Use of the [[Hammer of Forging]] [[artefact]] allowed a smith to create [[forged weapons|fully crafted items]] with fewer refinement steps and with greater potential for above-average statistics.
Using the [[Hammer of Forging]] [[artefact]] allowed a smith to create [[forged weapons|fully crafted items]] with fewer refinement steps and with greater potential for above-average statistics.


The field of forging is now split into two trade skills: [[weaponsmithing]] and [[armoursmithing]].
The '''Forging''' skill was available to to members of the three knight classes: [[Infernal]], [[Paladin]], and [[Runewarden]]. With the advent of trade skills forging was split into [[Weaponsmithing]] and [[Armoursmithing]] and knights gained the new skill of [[Weaponmastery]].

It is _very_ expensive, and takes an extremely long time to forge (and you will always want to forge it to its maximum).<p>Speak to a Patron Immortal, such as that of your house or city, and have your armour's description customised, so that when people look at you, they might see, for instance, Sarapis is wearing a suit of blackened armour, instead of Sarapis is wearing a suit of shimmering full-plate.</p>
