Putting the Craft in Warcraft

[X] Officer Harding told us to talk to her if we ever got an audience with the king. We go to her and listen to everything she tells us.
[X] Wear your best uniform, you work for him so acknowledge that. Clean up your boots and get new ones if they are especially scruffy.
[X] Invite Joyce to come with you. She contributed, so give her due credit.
[X] Next project: Experiment with inlays. How much Truesilver is needed to use the enchantment. Can it be added to armour as a defense against Fell magic? Does the pattern of the inlay have an effect?
-[X] Use items forged by others to save time where possible and let you focus on the inlaying.
[X] Make sure to take a day of rest during the week.
[X] Ask Officer Harding if she can arrange some additional smithing training for you.

The uniform thing is just as I said it. We have a uniform, it's the uniform of his armouries, so wear it.
On Joyce, this kind of felt like a shipping thing, but since we work in research it's important to share credit. If you don't it gets harder to get assistance from your peers.
Inlays is taking this line of research to a practical conclusion. Can it be used in numbers? Can it be used with metals that are better for armour and weapons? I'd like to help finish the Thorium project, but I felt this should come first.
On smithing over weapons training; this is a quest about crafting. The names of some of the achievements make me a little nervous, but there is no sign that Azeroth is about to collapse soon. We should still have time for that later if we need.
 
By the way. For our next project. I kind of want to try and see if we can lightforge a Thorium breastplate with gold and truesilver inlays as anchors for the lightforging.


Thorium seems to be anti magic. In that case, if we can anchor the light forging using the gold and truesilver. We might be able to create anti fel armor.
"All right, Thorium off the list." You wince just a bit as you heft the hammer.

It's a combat hammer yes, but it's also a total failure from your perspective. Thorium just doesn't like any sort of attunment. You'd say it was uneffected, but it's more everything just sort of washes out after a time. You can almost see the magic wafting off it before you finish it.

Making truesilver inlays is a bit of a waste considering how strong truesilver is. We should make gold inlays for non-truesilver weapons.
 
That was based on lightforging Thorium Directly. What I want to do is make a thorium equipement. But Inlay it with Light metals Gold and Truesilver so they can anchor the light into the thorium enough to bypass the Thorium's magic resistance.

Idea for a future project: Mithril attunes to the Light at a weird frequency. Truesilver attunes to the Light at exactly the right frequency. We ought to experiment to see if we can alloy the two to get a better final product.
 
Orcs don't regenerate, but are roughly twice the size of a human. You can see one if you ever are called to meet King Llane. He has a civilized one as a companion.
We really should pick up some weapons training. I think Garona is already in stormwind. The GM only knows when the siege is going to happen. It's why my vote includes training with a warhammer.

Ah. One problem with that. We don't know about gold taking light forging.

Truesilver is also rarer than Mythril.
If inlays work it could be used in anything from Steel to Thorium.
On Thorium, it won't hold an enchantment, but it just leaks away, it's not a violent rejectiion. It's possible the enchantment can be bound to the inlay instead. It's worth trying.

I know truesilver is rarer then Mithril. Hell it's rarer then gold. Which is why I want us to figure out gold will hold a holy attunement as fast as possible. We can use it for inlays and truesilver for weapons. Also even if you don't vote for my vote could you put a vote for weapons training in yours. Garona is in stormwind already. She's the only orc I can think of that was friends with the king. And That means the siege is going to happen soon. I want us to live.

Garona was around for quite some time before that happened. And the siege of Stormwind is a long time away anyways. Thay have to fight all the way from the south of the continent to where Stormwind is first, and that took months to accomplish. The death of Azeroth wasn't fast, it just escalated so suddenly and so significantly once the Horde arrived that there wasn't really any way to recover

Did not know that. As far as I could tell on the wiki that it was several months after she joined their side. Still starting on getting combat training now is a very good idea.
 
I don't think we should use truesilver as a pure reagent. Even if it is inlaid. It's still improving the weapons strength.

Not only that, but even if truesilver is a strong metal. Mithril and Thorium are stronger still.
So it's better to use Truesilver as a strong light inlaid rather than using it directly.

Well I suspect that a pure truesilver weapon will be stupidly strong when it comes to light attunement then a weapon with truesilver inlays.

Sigh. And people still aren't trying to find out gold does just as good as truesilver and go for the less expensive metal.
