Posted October 2, 2016 +1 Would love to see something like this. As long as the input/output are balanced I don't see any negatives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2016 Lumps are not capped at 50ql, they are capped at the clay pot's ql after 50.

The point is smithing is already unbalanced because it is already possible to do what OP is asking for. Making it easier to do so would only make it worse. I don't think it's fair that carpenters are limited by their woodcutting skill and smiths are not limited by their mining skills (I'm not going to list them all). At least now they have to work hard to get better ql iron than they can mine. Realistic? Kind of. Fair? No. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are limited by the wood the have to work with. However as a point of interest, I would love to see a way for a carpenter/woodcutter to refine the logs they get so that they can produce higher quality lumber from lesser materials.
