KillerN, I have all forging skills except for a few levels in enchanted stone craft, iron forging, steel forging, and one of the weapons (I cant remember which).
I dont know why, but I have a very abysmal forging rate on elemental maces (all levels), so that means if you want an elemental mace, I'm going to need a lot of materials to make it happen. I tried making a VVS fire chain, and it took me about 5 tries to do it.
