Thanks for the information, Miyavan. It actually helps because it's just as efficient for Mictlan to produce Soul Contracts before or after obtaining a forge bonus.

Aleph, I was just thinking earth for the Dwarven Hammer. Miyavan, I think forging bonus still applies to gem-producing items, doesn't it? If so, then it's still a really good idea. I don't know where my manual is but if I did, I'd post the types and costs in path levels and gems of the various gem-producers and how these could be applied efficiently to Mictlan.
