Forge Bonuses

[PvK]

How do you get an unholy-19 priest? By modding the map?

By modding the map. Just like anything else... It took some time after that until I could think level 3 mage good again.

if you ever programmed in basic or anything else, then you can script. Something like

#commander "Archdevil"
#mag_fire 20

is rather straightforward I think.

Hm. Has anybody tried a Nataraja with *two* different forge-bonus weapons (e.g. Hammer of the Forge Lord, Hammer of the Cyclops)? You need at least three arms to try, since there's only one one-handed forge-bonus weapon AFAICT...
It'd be pretty wacky if those 50% forge bonuses stacked, although admittedly you need a Wish or the correct independent to get a Hammer of the Cyclops.

I haven't tried that, but my guess is it would work, because practically every other combination I have seen work with forge bonuses - sites, Ulmish forgers, items, and global enchantments.

Tried a Nataraja w/ Hammer of the Forge Lord + Hammer of the Cyclops Last night, empowered the fellow in some fire and astral. No other forge bonuses active.
20-gem items seemed to cost 4, 5-gem items cost 1, didn't try other levels. It's not free, but it does stack in some odd way (80% off at those two levels, at least; better than multiplicative bonus of 75% off let alone single bonus of 50%).

Hi,

I already had a Nat in my game and wished up the Hammer. So, forged the Chalice (20 n 10 a) with the Hammer of the Cyclops and Forge Lord with Forge of the Ancients running ...

The Chalice costs 2 n 1 a. Not bad. 10% of the original cost.

The Nat can definitely become a forge maniac.

BTW, I've been looking and looking for a spell I cast once and haven't been able to find again. It gives back some of the gems used in casting every turn and is a ritual, like Forge of the Ancients.


Ciao,
