Putting the Craft in Warcraft

[QUOTE="The Laurent, post: 2849901, member: 5133"[X] make an purple eye[/QUOTE]
That needs living steel, which we don't have yet. The WOW formula doesn't make much sense and is, quite frankly, boring.

[X]Plan Living Steel
-[x] Acquire two bars of iron and two branches living wood. Alchemically infuse one bar of iron entirely into one branch of living wood, and infuse the other branch of living wood into the other bar of iron.
-[x] Using the life-giving fire of a red dragon and druidic magic to forge the infused branch and bar into a living metal tree.
-[x] Plant the tree and cultivated it for living steel.
 
@Doomsough Your whole let's make something that not living steel but call it that anyway is kind of annoying. Especially since lost is most likely going with the wow recipes and the lore behind it.

[X] Study the bronze Hammer
[X] Make a Ring of Shifting
[X] See if the black dragon flight has another request.
[X] visit the Night Elves
[X] Make a bigger horn for the tuskarr to give them instead of gold for the upkeep.
[X] Start sketching and planning out armor for the prince and his companions if they want to upgrade to a better metal.

Anyway I edited the vote and removed some of the things we can't really do.
 
Maybe. I'm more going off what's in WoW rather than anything else for it.
It's basically a form of steel found IRL in around the 3rd-4th centuries. The steel was basically a "miracle metal" and much stronger than normal steels and could hold an edge for a while. While the exact forging technique used back then is lost (sort of, I think someone cracked it), tests of remaining weapons have shown to contain crude carbon nanotubes and other lolcarbon stuff that basically makes it so good.

We can actually make better steel now if we try, but it was still noticeably good compared to it's time.
 
Considering that Wayland saved Alexstrasza, it wouldn't surprise me if the reds offered to turn him into a Drachkin.

Alternatively there are the blues. Wayland proved himself capable. I'm sure they'd be happy to take him into their ranks.


still want that magi-tech transhumanism.

We know soul magic we explored some of the basics of animation and shamanism can give life.

and living steel seems like it would be conducive as to holding life within metal.

lets Become an immortal being of Magic, Metal, and Machine, Escape the Cage of Meat so that we can Build, Craft and Create for all Eternity!

Seems I'm on fire lately. Have another omake.

Indomitable blades

Wayland's master told him once, that a sword isn't solely a blacksmith's work. It is the work of every man that shaped it's existence. It was the work of the miner, the smith and the soldier and many, many more. Each person working with it left a part of hmself within the sword, defining it's existence.

It were those words that had inspired his newest project.

Steel from ninty-nine swords, all old and worn from use, melted down to create an armor. An armor that held the spirit of those swords and the wills of their creators.

Acquiring that many old swords in Northrend hadn't been easy. He had gotten them mainly from the Alliance expedition, since they were the faction that used swords the most, but he had also acquired a few from the Horde and even one from the Children of Sun and Moon.

Working with them had been more difficult than he expected. It was as if the steel wanted to take the form of a sword. The countless years spent as weapons simply wouldn't fade from the steel.

But in the end he did it.

And it was marvellous.

Reinforced by the countless wills that had shaped it, it would never yield, no matter the adversarity.

An armor that would cut whoever opposed it.

An armor that truly held the spirit of a sword.
 
I wonder if studying that bronze hourglass hammer will give a bigger cap for blacksmithing, because there is only 5 more point to go before it's maxed.
 
I don't know why but that post has made me vaguely queasy.


it's because you deludedly cling to the weakness of flesh!

at any rate flesh is what makes people vulnerable to old god corruption anyway.

Cast it off.

Replace it with Saronite!

replace it with Livingsteel and Truesteel and Arcanite and Titan Steel and Trillium.

Alloyed with Saronite!

no bad brain! get off the Saronite train for awhile, i actually want to sell them on this!

You do realize that dwarfs and gnomes were originally made of metal/sone before old god corruption turn them into what they are now, right?

New Research Project available:
Shield Spike: A blacksmithing/enchanting project that sends out small spikes of magic when the object is hit.

yeah!

old god corruption created flesh!

we know its possible to become immune to the curse of flesh as well!

the second gen earthen did it.

so we turn ourselves into metal and use whatever the titans did to render ourselves immune!

and never be vulnerable to old god corruption again So we can work with Saronite! dammit brain! also being made of sturdy metal and magic instead of squishy weak mortal flesh.

@ninjafish The watchers are made of metal and stone and are still vulnerable to old god corruption.


yeah but less so.

and they literally lived right on top of one for thousands of years.

and they predate the second gen Earthen who seem to be utterly immune to corruption and the curse.

Besides metal still has shit tons of advantage's over flesh.

like not dying just because X amount of time has passed, and being more difficult to break into itty bitty pieces.

and we can carve rune's into it and enchant our own body!

they'll be like really cool tattoos that glow with baleful energies!

Queasy feeling getting bigger!
 
You know its probably a good thing that the high elves are as isolationist as they are considering the current make up of things, and the three major factions.

The Children of the Sun and Moon have the Night elves, who don't like them much and have personal memory's of the highborn screwing up.
The Horde has forest trolls who hate the high elves in it.
The one that probably dislikes them the least is the Alliance, and if the Elves pulled out anything resembling the manner they did in cannon then I'd say the Alliance isn't too happy with them ether.
 
Apparently we don't have the recepy for our puprple eye, so, this is my new vote:

[X] Study the bronze hammer
[x] make two sachels of holding, sthemone to Leon and one to Joyce Hale, the first to show him that we remember him, the second as a tanks for her help with the magic that helped to keep us alive.
[X] Make a Ring of Shifting
[X] see if there is another request by the dragonfligths
[X] Study Arcane magic
[X] visit the night elves

We really don't have a reason to study arcane magic.
