This place needed a new topic, I was bored

I was playing Path of Radiance again you know, the one I finally got back from Silence and got to chapter 8. The beginning of that chapter gives you the merchants and the guy that can forge weapons. This made me think of all the fun I've had forging things in the past and made me wonder...

What have you people forged? What is your most recent? What is your favorite? (Ever named a weapon you forged after another one in another series?)

(Not just PoR, but any other game with forging in it applies as well.)

What I've done. (Click Here To Hide/Show Text)

I remember one time long ago in PoR I forged a Slim Sword for someone (Mia I think) made it as stong as I could, made it blue and called it Sting. (Yes, named after the Lord of the Rings weapon.) That was probably my favorite.

My most recent, on the other hand, would be a bow I made to help train Rolf. An iron bow with optimal stats on everything (wasted most of my money). Made it green to make myself remember it was for Rold and called it Best Bow because my creativity was low that evening.

You should have named that bow for Rolf the Cradle.

^I have a feeling it wouldn't have fit

I usually forge two types of weapons, simple upgrades to weapons, like a slightly buffed iron sword with more might, or a slightly more accurate steel axe, or ultra weapons where I invest a lot and name it after a weapon from another game or something that shows its epicness.

Examples:

Simple:

Great Sword
Steel Axe X
Tough Lance

Ultra:

Holy Blade
Infinity Axe
Raikiri
Arectaris
Volt Shot

In PoR I once made a hand axe with max weight, lowest hit and lowest mt possible. Called it the "Shit Axe."

I gave it to Makalov and let him run around with it for a few chapters. Was pretty funny when he actually killed something.

But in all seriousness, I don't forge that much outside of RD and Awakening. PoR's forge system is eh and the DS games are ridiculously expensive and impossible to do without arena abuse.

In Awakening I made a forged Brave Sword with max mt and crit, calling it "Unfair." I made a similar one with max mt, hit and a little crit, called it "Trollivia" and it is now my troll Olivia's weapon of choice.

I also tend to forge things and give them completely irrelevant names. Like forging a silver axe and calling it an iron lance or something. It ends up mixing me up more so than anything >.>

I've made ridiculous amounts of forges so maybe I'll dig up a couple more funny ones.

I just remembered something. In PoR in my first save: I forged a Silver Sword, gave it the exact stats of Ragnell but with better Critical% and less weight. I made it blue and called it Master Sword. Specifically based of off the Master Sword in Link to the Past.

It is, to this day, the best weapon I've used in a trial map. (So many critical hits!)

[Elwood]

In Shadow Dragon I always forged two weapons:

For Barth (who I reclassed to a berserker) I forged a silver axe with good power and high critical rating and called it Bloodbath

For another character (can't remember who, Ogma I think) I forged a silver sword and named it Zion.

[Whitewolf8]

I remember making an orange Steel Blade in PoR once.
I named it "MEGA CARROT"

[Seraphinox]

There was a great Axe that I coloured Green and made it the best it could be.

I can't remember the name of it though, time to open up that PoR save again.

I barely ever Forge things, I've never found it worth it.

Forging is so GOOD though Seraph

it costs a lot and in some game(s) you could only forge one weapon a chapter but overall they're just so awesome

I mean you have games like Awakening where you can pretty much get infinite money and forge broken weapons infinitely lol

[AbsolutelyTotalSilence]

I usually have an axe named Armads or Basilikos.
Also, I forged a ladle in Awakening and named it "Drying Panne". Double pun for the win.
