Alright, I know diamonds, dragons blood, Special holy water, Ironwood, and Adamantite are all things to keep around... but I'm looking for specific recipies for this and that. I have dragons blood, and special holy water, diamonds, and adamantite... (no ironwood) ...

What recipies for armor/weapons do you all know of?

You can ask the forgeron for a book of the recipies.

One of the recipes listed in the book is wrong, unless it's been patched. I can't remember exactly which, but I think it's a light armor (leather, studded leather?). The recipe turns it into some kind of half-plate insted of the light armor used.

Since I obviously am missing a few brain cells here, could somebody post exactly -which- armor I'm rambling about?

Well, I had a Chromatic breastplate made, and was terribly dissapointed. I reloaded and just stuck with my fullplate +1... blah. At any point can you make different items?

It's called Gargoyle Plate or something like that and combines leather armour +1, a gargoyle skull plus 500 of your hard-earned gp into some sort of plate mail. It's great armour as long as you're not playing a rogue, bard, wizard, sorcerer or ranger.

Its not wrong so much as misleading. You put in leather armor so you expect to recieve leather armor. Basically you recieve +2 half-plate. It never says anywhere that you will recieve magic leather armor as a product so in effect its not wrong, although it is irritating to get something that most characters cant use. Especially since I paid for the leather armor I used to make it.

Is the forge in chapter one, the only place to up grade armor and weapons?

I see that you can upgrade rings and whatnot, but nothing for armor or weapons.

Well, the name of the item is "Leather Whitebone Armor" in the forge recipe book, with a base AC of 3. What you end up with is magical half-plate, with a base AC of 7. That sure sounds wrong to me

.

It's a nice armor, as HighLordDave pointed out, but it sure doesn't help the characters who would be most likely to make this particular magic item.

There are forges in chapters 1 and 3. That is the only places to upgrade weapons and armor.

Thanks Datt.
