but in the game, my full nature char hammered 20 blooms and got no wrought iron. all blooms became cast iron bars.
i wanna ask whether nature belief negates wrough iron crafting or it was just my bad luck?

Erm, belief does have chance over turning bloom to wrought, I believe it's naturally a 33% chance, 0% at full nature and 67% at full industry.tmgame01 wrote:i read the wiki where it said full nature belief wont influence the chance that a bloom transforms into a wrought iron.

Could you direct me to the page which gave you this information?
Kinda caught me off-guard a bit, was confused why you said that. No worries thoughpainhertz wrote:Shit, my bad...I'm thinking about something else.

Actually, there's a good reason for that. There's a method of increasing bar quality through constantly running it through the finery forge and then pounding the blooms back into iron bars for the random chance of quality increase. Once you're bars go up, you increase your anvil and hammer, etc., etc. until you're getting higher quality bars than anyone else is. It takes a LOT of time, charcoal, and ore to pull it off, though.tmgame01 wrote:thanks alot, so i would no longer invest smithing on my full nature char.
Is that what they mean when they mention spiraling or whatever?MagicManICT wrote:Actually, there's a good reason for that.
