Hello,

I plan on starting my Knight Realms Adventure in September as a Smith and was wondering how the Smithing Rank X Abilities work.

Hi, Alex!

So with Smithing, the only pre-requisite is having one skill of each rank before you learn the higher ranks of Smithing abilities. There are four areas of Smithing expertise:

Knowledge
Weaponsmithing
Metalsmithing
Armorsmithing

If you wanted to achieve Rank IV smithing abilities (in Weaponsmithing, for instance), you would need at least 1 skill in Rank I, Rank II, and Rank III in that particular area in order to nab the Rank IV ability.

I hope this helps! If it does or doesn't, let me know, along with any other questions you feel like I could help with!

-Jeff

How do I know how to make an Item I want to craft? Are the Blueprints of Sorts or is it Inherent Knowledge?

Not a marshal, but this is what Matt intended to link you to. www.knightrealms.com/documents/rulebook/...ok-core.html#toc1476

I will let him elaborate as he was going to. Thanks for bearing with us.

I asked my pal Geoff (no relation) who is a Rules Marshal:

It's user / player choice.
You always want your AP Multiplier to apply to the better piece, so the second piece, that does not benefit, should be the lesser AP value.
i.e. - if you are wearing a cloth gambison and plate breastplate, the cloth should be seceondary

Bowman is correct: it is up to you, so you could give yourself less armor should that decision for whatever reason strike your fancy.
