I haven't forged anything since my FF was around 500. Not sure if the increased FF has anything to do with the appraisal, or if it's all just because of the update to the appraisal system.

That's pretty impressive. Is that the standard 50 stone mix?

Yes. I believe I gave that mix to you some time ago...? If not, just let me know, and I can get it to you.

The new appraisal system also messed up my Grinding script, so I updated it as well. The grinds were simple though.

I ground for edge until I couldn't grind edge anymore, and then for balance until I couldn't grind balance anymore.

I'm looking forward to trying it out. I thought I had some of my old 50 stone basties lying around, but I didn't. All I had was a dozen 28's, so I can't compare the "before" and "after"

I still have it. I'll try it tomorrow and see if maybe I can tweak it a bit and up the slice a touch too.

low puncture damage
great slice damage

It'd be a slight improvement.

I was under the impression that there is 0 improvement to the numerical side of the app. That the further delineation of the appraisal is for our benefit to see the differences. Before perhaps the scale was in chunks of 20-25 now its maybe 10 or something. So nothing got better or could have.

Right, the weapons themselves didn't get better, but the appraisals are more accurate so it's easier to tell which is actually better.

I like this model better b/c I like the extra impact. I think it's probably the same with less edge grinding. Samsaren: I'll get a compare with this sword and that bastie next time I'm in my vault, but I switched for a reason :D
