Would 3 dead characters in one day put me off? No way! Plus I'm playing something new. Well, that 4d9 trident you see has a poison brand. Just found some lame artifact weapon with +4 speed. Its nice to be able to recoup some of that speed on a pretty good weapon! And check out that helm I just got. I'm pretty sure that's the kind of stuff a weaponsmith should be looking for, provided I can just find another 92 essences of speed ... ;-)

Answer for other of your posts... I played weaponmaster a while ago and AFAIK (at clvl 30) i still could add only 1 slay/brand to a weapon.... so i think that the best possible weapon a weaponmaste can make is to add a (correct good) brand to a good big-3 ego.... Like Vampirism to a +1attack BoC Holy Avenger...

Well if you can only add 1 brand/slay to a weapon that would explain the lack of Weaponsmith's on the table. I'm still going to continue with him anyway coz I'm a stubborn bastard... ;-)

Uhm sorry - I meant to post that last comment under my character - Stoneblade - I'm at work with my browser open in a very small window and I got confused as to which record I was in - oops... I've copied the above comment to my character but I guess everyone will get to see just how silly I can be here...

Not silly at all. Does anyone know if there is some limit on how high you can crank up the value/essence added to an object? I gather from some old posts from Mogami that you want to look for objects with high intrinsic values, such as the Infravision +8 that I have. But can I not just add 96 essences of speed to some really cool dragon helm instead? I'm guessing the value is capped at some point ...

I believe weaonsmiths can only add at most +4 speed to an item, even if the "intrinsic value" of an item such as a helm is high, such as +8. :-(

I see weaponsmiths as some bizarre cross between a tourist and a warrior... A warrior does pretty much everything better, but the weaponmaster does have a bit more survivability than a tourist.

One note: don't drain un'ided equipment. While the game protects you from destroying un'ided artifacts, there is no protection on draining power from, oh, an unidentified Werewindle. A weaponmaster I played once did exactly that! Particularly embarasssing given the existence of the innate ability "judgment."

Well, here is a level 30 update. It has dawned on me, rather sadly, that adding speed to the trident was a bad move. Now, I have tons of essences and nothing to use them on :-) Live and learn, I guess. Looks like I am going to need some agility to net that 5th attack as my Dex will only rise to 18/70.
Best luck of the game: That trident!!
Worst luck of the game: Hagen did *not* drop his namesake.

If you "remove essence" instead of "extract" on the Trident it will simply remove the ability that you added and leave the rest of the abilities intact. I tested this with a freezing Bastard swrod that I added fire brand to and it worked. In this case you'll lose the essences you used to add the speed but the trident will still be of slaying and you can add another ability to it.

Hope this helps.

I did consider doing just that, but speed is *so* important in Hengband, especially early on. I was just lamenting the fact that I could have had both, if only I had the foresight. Well, this game is amazing. I'm hanging around waiting for CON boosts for several hours, when in the course of about 15 minutes I get 5 boosts (4 potions and levelling up to 34). I think I'm ready for the Cloning Pits ... Wish me luck!!

Success! Here is the aftermath. It dropped Slayer early, so the trident 4d9 is no more, but I now sit on 64 essences of speed. Patience, and good Dragon Armor shall get a +5 boost :-)

I'm sorry ... I know I am overposting this guy. I wanted to show 3 things about a Weaponsmith:
[1] Branding Ammo. This is very powerful, as you can make, say Seeker Bolts that are a Great Bane of Dragons as an example. 25x on the damage multiplier is *mind boggling* :-) (I think it is 25*(6d5 + 30) or about 1200 points of damage ... assuming CL50)
[2] Looks like adding essences, including speed, top out at +5, as my Heavy Crossbow of Extra Might *and* Speed demonstrates.
[3] However, let's say you have something like a Cap of Infravision +8. Then you can add up to 8 of any ability (presumably including speed). In fact, you are forced to add 8 of any ability (+8 CON??). I had 300 essences of Wisdom so I poured them into the cap just to make sure that this actually works.

Cool! it works.
In favour to Weaponsmiths too: they have pretty good magic device skill, i think enough to activate reliably rods of speed, healing and the high damage wands.

Weaponsmiths should eschew all artifact weaponry and armoury!! Not quite ready to part with Celegorm or Shiva's Avatar yet, but the time shall come :-)

Reworked equipment a bit ... Still using Thorin and Shiva's, mainly for the stat boosts. But check out that Hat of Speed!! :-)

At least I am smart enough to know when I am being stupid ;-) Looks like I've been out-smith'd, but Damn Vorpal Blade is nice!

Very cool char!
I always thought that for 5-blow character, Slayer would be better than Vorpal Blade... but then i´ve never found Vorpal Blade xcept w/ a zerker, and your to-dam bonus from equipment isnt so high to compensate Vorpal´s high dam...
Good luck!

You've indirectly pointed out one of the reasons that the poor, maligned (well, not as much as the weaponsmith, perhaps, but still maligned) Archer is a formidable class. They can make their own arrows AND get bonuses to their missle RoF and multiplier.

Imagine if you were getting 3+ shots/round with that crossbow and its multiplier was bumped up by 1!

Has the Archer been maligned? I always found them quite powerful (Check out Legolas on the Hengband site ...). Doing 800+ points of damage a round from a distance is amazingly effective, and Legolas got into quite a few successful tangles with hordes of GWoP. My only objection to the Archer is that both characters seemed to play exactly the same (get the Long Bow of Bard and stock up on Seeker Arrows) that I really do not have much desire to play them again ...
I agree that Slayer is usually the better choice, but I think Vorpal is better for my situation. I generally get 3 or 4 Snicker Snacks around. Not sure how much the vorpal hit bumps up the damage totals, but it's pretty cool see all those gauging, maiming, smiting and, ultimately, cutting in half messages ;-)

Here's the winning post. I spent a long time on L99 waiting for uniques to show. Finally got bored and whooped the Serpent. Morgoth never got summoned, perhaps because enough other uniques (31) remained?? At any rate, Weaponsmiths are definitely a winnable class, and I would rate their power level on par with that of a rogue (About 3 rungs below Ninjas and Monks :-). Think hasty dragon armor if you find their actual weaponry a bit underpowered (or if you find Vorpal Blade :-)
Bad Luck in the Arena, though. The Shambler breathed on its first 2 moves, and that was too much for poor Lordonn ...
