Event Schedule

Sunday April 12th Cuttable Dig, Saqqarah (740, -1680), 3PM EDT (7PM GMT)

This is a dig for cuttables and mediums. We'll do two rounds of digging with the cuttables and mediums divided equally after each round. Food will be provided. I can also provide iron shovels for those new to game. If you can get a blacksmithed shovel before the dig, please do so. Each person with a 9K+ shovel generates three times as many cuttables. Elmar and other blacksmiths sell these shovels.




Saturday April 18th How to learn to love your reactory

This course is designed for people who are new to reactories and who are still having problems with them. Basic reactory techniques will be explained and demonstrated via hands on training. The course takes place in Saqqarah @ 751, -1667. If you are experiened with reactories and can already get yields of 5+, then this course won't help you. But if reactories still give you headaches and you usually just wind up with 0-2 alloy, then this course should help.

We'll make alloys, lots and lots of alloys, or die trying. Please bring some stout, fern or towering palm resin to the class. All other materials provided. Alloys divided among players.


Blacksmith challenge

Saturday April 25th No blacksmiths have expressed interest in this so far. It's free Blue Metal for the winners! We'll see if any want to join contest

I'm thinking of hosting a blacksmith challenge.

I'd supply blacksmiths with enough metal blue to make one hatchet, one wedge and one shovel each. They would have 15 minutes to complete the best shovel possible, then another 15 minutes for the hatchet and then 15 more minutes for the wedge. The blacksmith who makes the highest quality item would win 100 additional metal blue. This means a blacksmith winning in all 3 categories would win 300 metal blue. The blacksmiths without the best items would still get to keep their product.

The only catch is the winning products would then be raffled off to anyone (blacksmith and onlookers) who attend the challenge. The cost of each raffle ticket would be 1 flax and only 1 ticket per person. I figure this would help push blacksmiths to further their skills and maybe get a few really high quality items into the hands of players who otherwise couldn't afford them.

Are any blacksmiths interested in such a contest? To minimize my metal cost, only blacksmiths capable of making 9K items could participate in any category.
