Hammers have no effect on soul contract?
 

I do not know if this is new in 3.20, but hammers are having no effects when forging soul contract and life long protection. They give the discount on other blood items just fine. Is it WAD or a unfortunate new bug?

For better or worse, WAD.

I guess the free dude factory was too cheap with forge bonuses.

not much use for a hammer when writing a contract really :D

(yeah I know there probably isn't that much use for it with hearts etc either)

Re: Hammers have no effect on soul contract?
 

I wish I'd been paying more attention to the blood expenditure.. I've wasted a hammer on a forger writing Contracts for about 7 turns not realising, and I had plenty of other uses for that hammer!

Thanks for bringing this up!

Re: Hammers have no effect on soul contract?
 

Hammer doesn't help to forge hearts as well. At least blood ones.

Re: Hammers have no effect on soul contract?
 

Does the Hammer help with any blood items?

Re: Hammers have no effect on soul contract?
 

After the patch v.3.20 I forged some blood stones and blood boosters (dagger and skull). The hammer gave the 25% discount as usual.

Re: Hammers have no effect on soul contract?
 

I remember having the bonus when forging black hearts with a hammer, but it was before v.3.20

Re: Hammers have no effect on soul contract?
 

Yep, with any but hearts and contracts.
IIRC, you never received a forge bonus for hearts.

Re: Hammers have no effect on soul contract?
 

:doh:
Yep. I checked some old saves of version 3.10 and there was indeed no bonus for hearts.

This is one of the things that periodically wash up on the main forum's top page. AFAIK it's always been this way. It's not a bug, and don't expect it to change.

Re: Hammers have no effect on soul contract?
 

Not always, but you need to go back to the Dom2 days before you hit a version where hammers worked on these. The change was made already in some Dom2 patch, I think.

Maybe something for the FAQ

Re: Hammers have no effect on soul contract?
 

I'd really like to see hammers and other forge/construction bonuses made not usable for gems producing items.

Re: Hammers have no effect on soul contract?
 

IIRC the change was done way back during DOM3 beta stage. Either way, its not bug - it's intentional.
