would this work

To make lightning boots yee also need to train fire, and water. 65 total with BS, and weapon skill have a %100 percent chance to make a mith, elect,diamond weapon

Well.... try a human for smithing, more skills. If you can train over your level in weapon skills, you can do this at level 25, but I wasnt sure, so I made it lvl 30.

lvl 30 human axeman
13 blacksmith (+5 from axeman guild)
14 axes (+20 from axeman guild)
30 swords( +4 from rings...?)
30 clubs(+4 from rings again)
30 blades(+4 from rings, but only if you want to smith blades)
3 skill points remaining.

How's that!? <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /><!-- s -->
Actually, you could save 4 more points on axes if you got rings there as well.
Since most people dont want to smith blades, however, you could use 33 points to get some skills to help you train. (this is according to Theris's formula)

Kathy.. now I have to redo my skillset &gt;_&gt;

Level 25 human axeman
30 blacksmith(+5 from axeman)
0 axes(+20 from axeman guild)
13 swords(+4 from rings)
13 clubs(+4 from rings)

non-smithing skills, same skillset:
20 strength
14 incantation
10 meditation

(This is according to Kathy's formula)

If you cant, then I guess lower bs to your level, making the weapons go down by 2... That will only give a total of 45 at level 25. At level 27, you could get 48... 29 you could get 51.

I can't imagine trying to train 50 BS!
[/quote:8b31a]

if a player managed to train 50 bs, they deserve to craft any of the stronger weapons

hey, kathy... thx for the smithing sourcecode... this is indeed VERY interesting :-)

[binsenkind]

ok, as i see the failure chance is (slab-level - smithing-ability)*5
so... the most diffucult slabs are diamond and have a perfection level of 70
so... u´ll have to have bs+weapon-skill=70 to have 100% success. that´s what i did find out, too <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_surprised.gif" alt="Surprised" title="Surprised" /><!-- s -->)
in the source, there´s nothing about electrinum, but from my point of experience i would say ut´s perfection level is 60...
this is all very interesting. when wyvern´s back and after i reached level 30 and did solve besar this will be very helpfull for my new skillset, when i will retire <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_surprised.gif" alt="Surprised" title="Surprised" /><!-- s -->)

and about all those rumors about balanced... from what i can read out of the source (and i´m not very good in that) u´ll have to be perefect in making a weapon (failure chance 0%) before u even get the chance of making a balanced (which is 2% in that case).
for light weapons u get a 10% chance if ur failure-chance is 50% or better.
so... i did forge a balanced light electrinum axe once and i´m very happy with that, cause the chance of making it is 0.2% :-D
sadly there´s nothing about electrinum and it´s special abilities in the scripts... but we still need some mysteries ;-)
