construction sites

[triqui]

Do the construction bonus sites have the discount bonus to forge magic items? or just ritual spells (such as golems and the like)?

If you found a construction site, surly you can try and tell us.

IIRC, it also affects forging.

The point was knowing if it works BEFORE i spend 500gols in a lab+possible a castle there.

Thankyou Endoperez

Im a happier man now

Agreed. Last time I checked, Construction sites affect forging costs.

As an aside, the game rounds costs down, so if you can manage to drop an item's cost below 1 gem, it will be free.

That is all.

Not only that, it's some weird additive formula for the discounts.

To forge a 10-gem item at the Steel Ovens (20%), with a hammer (25%), it costs 5 gems.

Maybe something like this is how it works?

Discount = (10 * .2) + (10 * .25) = 4.5, round up to 5

10 - Discount = 10 - 5 = 5

Edit: no, that's wrong, please see below.

I thought the formula was for most cases mulplicitive, and not additive? There might be an exception for innate forge bonuses, but otherwise:

10*.8*.75

I just tested it. Dwarven Hammer, Steel Ovens. Cost to forge a skull staff there is 5 gems. Your formula gives 6 gems, and that's not what it costs.

[Valerius]

I think the hammer/forge bonus (Ulmish smith, etc.) is applied first and then the bonus from the site/FotA is applied. So, the 25% discount from the hammer brings it down to 7 gems and then a 20% discount is applied to that, bringing the final cost to 5 gems.

I also remember reading that the minimum cost for an item is 1 gem.

Oh, okay, I see:

floor(floor( 10 * .75 ) * .8) = 5.

That works too, and makes more sense given the forge costs when FotA is up. Works for a 5-gem item too:

floor(floor( 5 * .75 ) * .8) = 2. That's the cost at the 80% site of a Bane Blade, wielding a 75% hammer.
