Skillset: Forging Skill: Tempering
 Org: Serenguard Status: Completed Dec 2009
Furies' Decision:
Kata weapon tempering is approved.
Problem: While the tempering process for knight equipment is splendid, other
equipment falls under the same problems that plagued old forging. Namely,
shields and kata weapons. The former isn't a truly big deal, though a 40+/40+
shield can still take a few hours. The latter is more of one. One handed kata
weapons can take several days each to get to 110, with a mallet. Two-handed
kata weapons of equal quality are practically speaking, unattainable. Apart
from the forger having to go through this process, monk players can have
unpleasant amounts of frustration finding a forger that doesn't shriek in
terror, run off into the distance, and pretend to be a herbalist until the monk
goes away.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Let us temper shields and kata weapons. Give us
 41/41 or 42/42 for shields maxes, and nobody will
 complain. Let us temper up to 110 in any given stat,
 with a stat sum maximum of 300 for one handed kata
 weapons, and 220 in any given stat, with a stat sum
 maximum of 600 for two handed kata weapons.

Definitely can support this.

Looks fine.

Yes please. I know that one of the concerns was that there is less tempering to
be done with smaller ranges, so simply just make it take more steel (or power
with the Forging Hammer) for kata weapons. 2 to 3 times would probably suffice.

Solution 1 or Xenthos' idea in the comment above both sound fine.

I like this; support it fully.

Yessssssss

Has anything changed regarding max speed monk weapons? I guess it's better to
let them become more common to find problems with them.
