forging items for 0 gems

[Gateway103]

Interesting, this seems to contradict the tests made by aldiss2 early this month.

The results from that particular analysis were:

Originally posted by aldiss2:
1) If FoA is Active, BaseCost=BaseCost/2
2) Cost = [Base Cost] - Caster Bonus (Intrinsic Bonus + Item Bonus) * Base Cost - Site Bonus * Base Cost
3)MinimumCost=20% BaseCost
4) The actual cost you pay is the greater of the calculated Cost or the MinimumCost.

The thread can be found here, http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...=001708#000000

Not sure what game Version he was using, but I don't recall any mentioning of forge cost alteration between the Versions.

Anyone able to reproduce tinkthank's result independently?
