Will Barun, the smith at the Trading Post in Chapter 3 upgrade my forge items from Chapter 1, or do I have to bring him whole new items for Chapter 3? This may have been asked before but I couldn't find the answer in a search.
Thanks in advance.

If you talk to him, he will give you a book of recipes, and I beleive you can't upgrade items. You have to bring all the components to him again to make it but it is stronger.

********SPOILERS Ahead*********
His recipes are exactly the same as Marrok in Chapter 1. The only differences are, his prices are alot higher, and the results are better versions of the Chapter 1 weapons. You can use the Chatper 1 weapons if you want, but you don't have to. You can give him a Katana +1 and an Adamantine and still get Sword Saint Katana +4.
That's why I usually recommend people not paying for smithing until Chapter 3, since you can get weapons in Chapter 2 that are equal or better than whatever you've smithed in Chapter 1 AND you save on the rarer components, like Diamonds and Adamantine.
The only thing that I would recommend getting in Chapter 1 is the Sword Saint Katana +1. Why? It's the only katana that I know that has a aura. I've found I think 2 or 3 other katanas, and even though some of them does elemental damage, I think one does acid, none of them had auras. So make a SSK +1 in Chapter 1, then use a katana +1 and Adamantine to make a SSK+4. That way, you'll have two swords with auras. It's not the most powerful combination of katanas you can wield, but it looks nice.
