Forging Observations

Hi,

I don't see a Nat forger listed. Nat can hold the Hammers of the Forge Lord and Cyclops. With FotA up I was getting terribly cheap items. (I don't remember the exact figures and I don't think I have the game anymore to check.) I just be interested to see if the Nat would be the cheapest.

I think the cheapest would be a 97.5% reduction: FotA, Black Priest/Smith wielding the Hammer of the Forge Lord at a 20% construction site like Steel Ovens:
FotA: 50% base cost
HotFL: 50%
Black Priest: 25%
Site: 20%

A Nataraja with Dwarven Hammer + HotFL would be the same as a Smith/Black Priest with HotFL, since the Nataraja loses the inherent 25% but gains it back by wielding the dwarven hammer.
