Dealing with just regular metals, I've always been led to believe 36 stones is the best possible bastard sword weight once you can swing it at minimum RT, but as my strength and agility go up I find myself wondering if I can upgrade.
So forgers of DR, can anything be accomplished by going heavier?
Regardless of the answer to the above question, I'm pretty sure my current basties are not perfect, so I'll probably be in the market for a couple perfect replacements.

I've been looking for this sword for a while. A couple people said they could make it then never produced one.

Kragj2,
The bastard sword you showed are you sure that is regular metals? Are you sure its recent as in the last 6-8 years? Do you have one or know of someone who has that?
The reason I ask those questions is that as far as I know, that can't be done with today's tweaks to forging. A few bugs ago that was possible with some interesting mixing practices, with glaes/kertig, with buggy bronze-alloy, and (wait for it, wait for it) ... bugged grinding. But bugged grinding is way back in the day like when forging first came out.
Parts of your sword shows things that I have on my barb. It's kertig.

Rikulf said he could do it, but then kept breaking them. He hasn't gotten back to me in weeks.
Phii is said to be able to make them, but said that she won't be making them for a while and that I should seek out the trader she uses.
I don't know who else was said to be able to make them, but IIRC Blazzon was mentioned. If it's not Blazzon, then it's another Bsomething name.
Crossing traders act like I am crazy when I ask about such a blade. Pretty sure Drevid can't make it. If Drevid can then the traders that he deals through don't have it on their lists.
If anyone could hook me up with the name of someone to get in touch with to have two made in Prime, that'd be awesome. I'm willing to pay a decent amount for them, although nothing near 10,000 plat. ;)

Sure. Though I clicked on the "email author" link and my computer didn't like it, so I'll need either an AIM or email addy. Or you can get in touch with me at ArcherTF via AIM. If you see me up on AIM, that means I'm ATK even though I'm a TF scripting zombie... The mix I use for the 50 stone basties also makes a rockin heavy slice 33 stone scim, so you get 2 for 1.

Actually... I'll leave my AIM up all day while I'm at work and will be able to respond to requests when I get home. ArcherTF is the screen name.

>I gave my mix away last night,
I for one really appreciate this. I understand that after a certain amount of skill, it's all about the mix for what you can make, but all the mix secrecy really annoys the crap out of me. So from me, and anyone else that's going to enjoy the new product, thank you.

I understand mix secrecy. Several years ago there were a few of us that spent thousands of hours and plats learning mixing and coming up with most of the commonly used mixes today. It's why I don't hold a grudge on someone who keeps a mix a secret if they discovered it.

I'm of two minds on mix secrecy. If you spent X amount of hours researching and you figured something out, it should be upto that person to decide if they want to give it out or trade it or whatever.
I for one have no problems sharing mixes if the other person is really into forging. I DO NOT like giving out mixes that will make me coin to someone who just bought someone and needs mixes to compete with me.
If Drevid , Magdar, Pendus & Mekage ask me for mixes I'd be more than happy to give them what I know. But if Joe "I Just bought a capped Barb" asked me for mixes I have mixed results about it. Granted I'm in the same "boat" from the bought but I think I at least earned my knowledge.

I think the problem to begin with is that it takes x amount of hours to figure out a mix. Hopefully new forging will take care of this. I don't want to have to have an intimate association with chemistry to make weapons in DR.

Forging is the only creation skill in game that you need a degree in math to do well in though. I don't need to know complex formulas to: Carve a bow, embroider, make prayer beads, enchant ect.
Some of these might have complex formulas to figure out what skills needed to make the best but once you have the skills it's just straight making it, no needing to figure out at what angle I need to carve my longbow to get the best power.

You don't need a degree. It's rather simple math.
<<but once you have the skills it's just straight making it
This is what made early forging so much fun, it was engaging, and not just "carve me up a capped bow".

I've never gotten deep into forging but my experience is that anyone willing to put enough effort into it could figure it out. Once everything changes and the thrown templates are fixed I'll probably get more into it.

I still remember playing with forging mixes during classes in school. Heck, i wrote scripts on paper and planned skill and creature progression in classes!

Once you figure out recipes, it does come down to just "make me a x-weight y". But the math, ultimately, is fun.
I've got a fair handful of recipes I made myself for abnormal weapons. Right now I only cap MEs and javelins, but for instance I've got a recipe for a solid 45 stone cutlass that I'm not sure many others have.
I'm a cleric with a habit of dabbling a little in everything, but I found initially learning forging to be very interesting, and I imagine it'll be that way again when the mech split happens.
