I get that this is what the 40d article was called, but wouldn't 'Forging Guide' or something similar be better? The current one is awkwardly titled and uses improper grammar anyway (Mak''ing'' your own weapons would be proper). IMO redirecting this to a new Forging Guide page would be better, and with the new version out, right now is the most appropriate time to do so. --[[User:Retro|Retro]] 01:27, 7 April 2010 (UTC) | I get that this is what the 40d article was called, but wouldn't 'Forging Guide' or something similar be better?

:::I do see the use of the article (mostly the old one) as a guide - see the [[40d:Make_your_own_weapons|40d version of it]] for what I mean. If it were retitled, cleaned up, and adapted to include blacksmithing and armorsmithing I could definitely see its use as a more heavily-detailed 'forging guide.' The 'metalsmith's forge' page seems too much about the workshop than its purpose to put it there though. --[[User:Retro|Retro]] 01:48, 7 April 2010 (UTC) | :::I do see the use of the article (mostly the old one) as a guide - see the [[40d:Make_your_own_weapons|40d version of it]] for what I mean.

:Eh... true enough, but the supplied builds are not COMPLETE builds. They don't consider how much other stuff you might want to bring along, and as written they don't go into detail about how to use the supplies. They're there more as example calculations. Somebody might want to use the wagonite for bed supplies, while somebody else might prefer it for barrels, and a third person might need it to build workshops. If you're going into a heavily forested region, chopping trees is more useful than buying logs, so you might use the wagonite to get the process started and then start whacking trees for further wood. If you're embarking on a glacier, though, you'll really only have your starting logs, so you'll spend on those and the wagonite will just be a drop in that bucket. So me "spending" the wagonite here isn't as useful to a reader as me spending 3 or 9 points on logs. --[[User:DeMatt|DeMatt]] 02:31, 24 June 2010 (UTC) | :Eh... true enough, but the supplied builds are not COMPLETE builds.
