Shouldn't it require a bone stack, rather than an ingot?

-= Chapter 8, Page 3: Instructions for crafting a bone war club =-

A bone war club is a craftable item in the Engineering society under the Carving crafting discipline. This is considered to be a simple piece to make, though knowledge of the Improvised Bone Weaponry technique will be beneficial to the crafter.

This item is listed as a "finished bone blunt weapon" ingredient type and is created using a bonesaw. A crafter may also find it helpful to have a rasp, a riffler set and a jar of polish on hand.

A list of ingredients is provided:

(1) refined metal ingot (7 volume)
(1) finished wooden haft

O.O

devastating impact damage
unbelievably designed for improving the force of your attacks
extremely resistant to damage
40 stones

WTB bone maul plz.

Unless the OP deleted it, it doesn't seem to list a hardness.

The weight on this shiv seems off...

You put your shiv on the counter.

Naissura puts the shiv on the small balance scale and adds small stones one by one until the beam becomes exactly level.

Naissura squints at the balance beam needle and says, "The shiv weighs about nine stones," and puts the shiv on the counter.

You pay Naissura and take your shiv off the counter.

A goblin-bone shiv is a light edged melee-ranged weapon.
A goblin-bone shiv trains the small edged skill.

You are certain that it could do:
moderate puncture damage
fair slice damage
poor impact damage
no fire damage
no cold damage
no electric damage

The shiv is terribly designed for improving the force of your attacks.

You are confident that the shiv is excellently balanced and is poorly suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.

You are certain that the shiv is extremely resistant to damage, and is in pristine condition.

You wonder if the shiv might weigh a few tens of stones.
You are certain that the shiv is worth exactly 1062 kronars, 850 lirums, or 766 dokoras.

9 stones? 2.75 x 3 = 8.25. Shouldn't that result in an 8-stone weapon?

While I don't believe this is actually a bug, since stone poles don't work with forging, bone poles also don't work with forging.

You need another finished short wooden pole to continue crafting an unfinished steel diagonal-peen hammer. You believe you can assemble the two ingredients together once you acquire them.

[Ingredients can be added by using ASSEMBLE Ingredient1 WITH Ingredient2]
>get my pole
You get a short rat-bone pole from inside your oilcloth rucksack.
>Assemble my hammer with my pole
The short pole is not required to continue crafting the diagonal-peen hammer, so you stop assembling them.

---

Also... why do I need another finished short wooden pole? It seems like this hammer only requires 1 pole. This is the messaging you get when you try to pour oil on an item that needs to be assemble... in specific a mid carbon steel diagonal-peen hammer.

Not sure if these are related, but there is no messaging given when you finish the weapon. You just figure it out when you try to continue carving. I wonder if something is happening there?

Either way, it would be nice to have some messaging indicating that the crafting process is complete. I thought that was how the other systems worked, from my experience.

Yeah... I'm hoping the stats on these are all off by a lot or weaponsmithing just became quite a lot less of a specialized discipline.

Here's an odd one... not sure what happened. It appears that I lost my "study book" maybe? All of a sudden it went from outsanding to ruined after an 'apparent' successful carve.

Tried studying/carving again.. but 10 more carves into the thing and no further progress change.

Bone weapons are really broken right now. It doesn't matter what the weight/quality is, they all end up apping the same for each template. I wouldn't worry about it as Kodius is taking a look at them.
