I found a Bastard Sword at the Barricade in Rock Trolls near Kaerna and I picked it up and used it. I was impressed. It was store bought, I didn't see a forger's mark when I appraised it. Oh yeah, whoseever it is, lost today early in the morning EST, come find Volsa, I'll give it back.

What would be the stats on a forged bastie: from just better than store-bought to forged by an expert weaponsmith?

There are many ranges it could be. I am not sure exactly what you meant, but if you appraise it you don't see the mark. If you LOOK at it you will see the mark if there is one. Also, not all forgers have marks and not all forgers with marks use them on all weapons. Anyway, just letting you know you should look at it to see if there is a mark.




A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

You could also have someone with enough experience in the forge ANALYZE it.
There are some forged blades that can't be analyzed too, however.

I got two appraisals of differing value. One said it was store bought, another said it was forged. How much does a store-bought bastard sword weigh? Mine weighed 28 stones.

That is actually the minimum weight you can get a forged sword. It is definately forged.

Minimum weight now, I think the minimum weight allowed after the change to add weight on to super light bastard swords was...26 or 24?

Well if it can't be forged less now, then that means it is the minimum forgable weight. It was 26 stones before I believe.
