Npc Blacksmiths

[Catweasel]

Had a wild thought that the npc Blacksmiths could be better utilised in game by giving them the ability to break equipment back down to its ingredients.

 

eg 1 steel shield handed to a blacksmith to recover the steel and iron

50% chance of failure on the 8 steel and 2 iron bars, essences are lost

and the cost set at base value of esences used to originally make the

item multiplied by a nominal value say 2

 

In the case of an item made with enriched fire essence naturally the efe is lost in the original manufacture of the item but the resulting metals produced from recycling the weapon or armour add a modifier to the base chance of creating a moddable weapon or armour using those metals or maybe a 50/50 chance of the weapon or armour prematurely failing due to a flaw.

Ah. So you are giving us a way to remix 4 iron sheilds into 2 iron sheilds only bringing the fire essences for the price of 8 iron sheilds? Useful, but I don't think anyone would try it.
