<<So, are there any other halberd forgers out there? I need something in like the 40-50 stone range, preferably with mod or heavy slice.>>

I make a 38 stone m\m\l f\f average strength one, Prescious sells em for me out of the market tent in crossing. At around 50 stones I can make a h\h\l f\f one but it's somewhat flimsy so unless your using an arm worn shield and not parrying with it I wouldn't suggest it.

<<Ok, just want to make sure that forged halberd hit from pole. If they do, I'd like to commission one if I could.
I need it 41 stones or lighter, ground all the way for balance provided it doesn't take it below somewhat flimsy.>>

They do hit from pole. If I grind all the way for balance (9 grinds for me currently on a 40+ stoner) it'll end up somewhat flimsy and not hit reasonably balanced. Though if I take a 37 stone halberd and grind for balance I can only get a few grinds which would leave it average strength (I've been told there is probably a cap on balance which is why I can only get a few grinds on the lower weight more balanced ones but I dunno till I can hit reasonably)

I did IM you but had to split so if you still have it feel free if you want to talk about it (I'm not posting my IM) or my charecter lives in Ratha, or you can talk with Prescious she'll take custom orders for me.

They truely aren't that different than other weapons Ternith, just use a mix from something else you make, same volume as a claymore.

If someone has a mix that is ready to go I can help. I am nearing my 500th rank in Halberds. I am currently over on Ratha.

Do you have to grind to get decent results with forged halberds?

I just made a 61 stone halberd. Came out at Heavy/Heavy/Poor/Fairly/Fairly with Average Strength. This is after doing 6 point grinds and 5 edge grinds.

On a side note: It came off of the forge at moderate/moderate/low before any grinds. The head flipped to heavy/heavy/poor after 2 point and 2 edge grinds.

I will try out some other mixes over the weekend.

Shame about the average strength.

Thanks for sharing the results though!
