Right, forged items are made variable due to the differing skill and stats of the creator (up to the cap, at least), so even though they can see that you had a forged item they wouldn't be able to tell any of the item stats and they aren't willing to give you a better-than-original copy (nor would you likely remain silent if they simply gave you one that was worse-than-original). I seem to recall someone saying they did forged stuff now, though I can't remember if that was all forged stuff or just stuff with marks on them (ie, easily traced, easily replaced) or what; up to then staff would simply give you the stuff necessary to reforge the item.

J'Lo, no that other one
