Someone bugged me like a dozen times to not forget to use our taylor/jeweler alt for the B12s in w5 that is what I remember for sure. Might have been Vig himself or Sarchi? I don't remember.
well, it was ramones who told me, sometime in w5, and implied that you guys had made the mistake of not doing that once and the b12's were ruined somewhat. I'm never going to be able to test this though

i guess its actually pretty moot, since its so easy to raise str and smithing high enough on a tailor/jeweler.
btw from what Sevenless is saying it also seems like the leather is weighted rather heavily considering it is 2 pieces compared to 12 of the steel?
