-= Chapter 8, Page 3: Instructions for crafting a bone war club =-
A bone war club is a craftable item in the Engineering society under the Carving crafting discipline. This is considered to be a simple piece to make, though knowledge of the Improvised Bone Weaponry technique will be beneficial to the crafter.
This item is listed as a "finished bone blunt weapon" ingredient type and is created using a bonesaw. A crafter may also find it helpful to have a rasp, a riffler set and a jar of polish on hand.
A list of ingredients is provided:
(1) refined metal ingot (7 volume)
(1) finished wooden haft

Definitely a problem here.
You analyze the maul and learn more about its construction.
This appears to be a type of finished bone blunt weapon that is riddled with mistakes and practically worthless.
The maul is a complicated piece to make.
Roundtime: 6 sec.
You are certain that it could do:
low puncture damage
low slice damage
devastating impact damage
no fire damage
no cold damage
no electric damage
The maul is unbelievably designed for improving the force of your attacks.
You are certain that the maul is fairly balanced and is very well suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.
You are certain that the maul is extremely resistant to damage, and is in pristine condition.
You are certain that the bone in the maul has a quality of 96, placing it at 'nearly perfect' on the official Trader's Scale.
You are certain that the bone in the maul has a durability of 15, placing it at 'terrible durability' on the official Trader's Scale.
You are certain that the bone in the maul has a workability of 75, placing it at 'rather easy to work with' on the official Trader's Scale.
You are certain that the bone in the maul has an electrical resistance of 25, placing it at 'an exceptional conductor of electricity' on the official Trader's Scale.
You think it is likely that the bone in the maul has a thermal resistance of 25, placing it at 'exceptional at transfering heat and cold' on the official Trader's Scale.
You are confident that the bone in the maul has a physical resistance of 50, placing it at 'somewhat good at repelling physical blows' on the official Trader's Scale.
The maul came from bones that were average in size.
You think it is likely that the maul weighs around 40 stones.
You are certain that the maul is worth exactly 4400 kronars, 3520 lirums, or 3175 dokoras.
Roundtime: 16 seconds.

The weight on this shiv seems off...
You put your shiv on the counter.
Naissura puts the shiv on the small balance scale and adds small stones one by one until the beam becomes exactly level.
Naissura squints at the balance beam needle and says, "The shiv weighs about nine stones," and puts the shiv on the counter.
You pay Naissura and take your shiv off the counter.
A goblin-bone shiv is a light edged melee-ranged weapon.
A goblin-bone shiv trains the small edged skill.
You are certain that it could do:
moderate puncture damage
fair slice damage
poor impact damage
no fire damage

You are confident that the shiv is excellently balanced and is poorly suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.
You are certain that the shiv is extremely resistant to damage, and is in pristine condition.
You wonder if the shiv might weigh a few tens of stones.
You are certain that the shiv is worth exactly 1062 kronars, 850 lirums, or 766 dokoras.

Ok, here's a fun one. I picked up an unfinished flail someone else left behind. I studied my carving book for a javelin. I then carved the flail. StormFront recognized the item in my hand as a javelin. The item in my hand, however, is still a "flail". It apps like a javelin, though.

Bone Poles
01/01/2013 10:21 PM CST
While I don't believe this is actually a bug, since stone poles don't work with forging, bone poles also don't work with forging.
You need another finished short wooden pole to continue crafting an unfinished steel diagonal-peen hammer. You believe you can assemble the two ingredients together once you acquire them.
[Ingredients can be added by using ASSEMBLE Ingredient1 WITH Ingredient2]
>get my pole
You get a short rat-bone pole from inside your oilcloth rucksack.
>Assemble my hammer with my pole
The short pole is not required to continue crafting the diagonal-peen hammer, so you stop assembling them.
Also... why do I need another finished short wooden pole? It seems like this hammer only requires 1 pole. This is the messaging you get when you try to pour oil on an item that needs to be assemble... in specific a mid carbon steel diagonal-peen hammer.

I think you can still COUNT finished leather items. Not sure if I want to consider it a bug or not.

Not sure if these are related, but there is no messaging given when you finish the weapon. You just figure it out when you try to continue carving. I wonder if something is happening there?
Either way, it would be nice to have some messaging indicating that the crafting process is complete. I thought that was how the other systems worked, from my experience.

looks like everything is coming out with capped damage and really low weights. Great puncture on a 20 stone javelin-flail. That beats glaes stats by alot!
If I remember correctly I think a capped 48 stone tyrium javelin and a capped kertig javelin at 52 stones comes out with very great puncture. So that weapon there has better than tyrium stats.

The actual weight was 44 stones, which is mathematically correct - 16 volumes * 2.75 density. And stop drooling, it's a bug and won't exist outside of test. Any bone maul you create, no matter the material, from riddled with mistakes to masterfully-crafted, will look like that. Your unguilded newb with no experience can kill a couple rats/frogs, scrape the bones so poorly then end up at 1 quality, then carve then 0 quality tools and no experience and STILL end up with devastating impact. Any metal or stone weapon with similar quality ends up poor damages and dismal balance and suitedness.

The actual weight was 44 stones, which is mathematically correct - 16 volumes * 2.75 density. And stop drooling, it's a bug and won't exist outside of test. Any bone maul you create, no matter the material, from riddled with mistakes to masterfully-crafted, will look like that. Your unguilded newb with no experience can kill a couple rats/frogs, scrape the bones so poorly then end up at 1 quality, then carve then 0 quality tools and no experience and STILL end up with devastating impact. Any metal or stone weapon with similar quality ends up poor damages and dismal balance and suitedness.

Numbers didn't change. Words changed. Words don't matter. Numbers all that matters.
