Weaponsmithing will be a discipline of the Forging skill after the mech split. There are place to practice it at the Riverhaven Forging Society and Crossing Forging Society, as well as a new forge in Shard.
Basics
The smelting and shaping processes are identical to those used when making tools, but with an additional step of polishing on a grinding wheel.
Polishing
When it comes time to polish, first TURN GRINDSTONE until it is up to speed, then PUSH GRINDSTONE WITH <weapon>.
Techniques
See Weaponsmithing Techniques.
Products
Weapon Enhancements
The difficulty of performing these enhancements is one to three categories harder than the difficulty of crafting the base weapon. Failure in the process will damage the weapon sufficiently to require repair in a repair shop, though it will not cause any lasting damage.
Enhancing a weapon *requires* the appropriate weaponsmithing technique, though it can be done by a crafte other than one that created the weapon.
Honing
Honing requires a grindstone, a wire brush, and some oil. Honing a finished weapon will reduce it's weight, at the expense of impact damage.
- Note: a weapon can be honed or balanced, but not both!
Begin by STUDYing the appropriate page in your weaponsmithing book. Next TURN GRINDSTONE until it is up to speed, then PUSH GRINDSTONE WITH <weapon>. Periodically, you may be required to remove the metal shavings by RUBbing the weapon with a wire brush.
Tempering
Tempering requires a forge and tongs.
Begin by placing the weapon on the forge itself. The base activity requires TURNing the weapon with a set of tongs. Periodically, the crafter may be required to perform bellows and shovel actions as indicated in basic smelting or pounding.
Balancing
Balancing is an identical process to honing, but it will increase a weapon's balance, at the expense of suitability.
- Note: a weapon can be honed or balanced, but not both!
Follow the same proceedure as honing, just begin with the appropriate weaponsmithing book page.
