RANKED WHITESMITH

[lesner_xx]

i just want to know how to make a whitesmith ranked one. 

[rolover]

forge vvs elemental weapons and make them +10

[thephi]

u need like 4k points

[lesner_xx]

if i overup any other weapon or even forged weapons and while forging it break can i get points ?
also if i overup armour or any other weapon buy from prontera or somewhere and try to upgrade those will i get points? if break then can i get points ?

[Najara]

Nope, you don't get points when you break a weapon.
And no, armors don't work; it's weapons only. There is no such option to refine armors.

I've been considering to become a ranked smith too, sadly the demand for ranked weapons is too little to risk/waste alot of money for it. 

[rolover]

+5 atk is not worth buying a ranked weapon imo

unlike alchemy and other creations, smithing always has a chance to fail regardless of max luk dex marionette and other blessings.

that then there was Razer's guide on blacksmithing somewhere, or was that powergod or lord ryu's guide

it was powergod. Start low then go higher if your up to the challenge for VVstrong *name/wep*

[rolover]

I just put in 5000 dex and it goes to 100%, I also see nowhere in that thread that says there's a max success rate

[Instigator]

lower right hand  where it say's forging results it'll change as you apply info
v-vvv are your strong point accumulation along with wep refinement

it does I forgot why but they still break

and it's just a waste of time/money if you want some ranked forged thing just mail lord ryu or anyone on the list, but the difference isnt worth imo, of course you can get a +10 anything cheaper from a ranker than if you made it yourself, they only profit on +7 shit

you mean RMS? yeah and I can get it to 100% with enough stats
Where did it say in the thread? I just skimmed through it

I don't doubt there could be a cap but I don't see why o_o

[Instigator]

there's no cap, its just the limit of how high u can get your stats and keeping them up (Ex: gospel 1 minute limit for the +20 stats)
Made a mistake, it was vvs(elemental)-vvvs wep to get the ranking points. High % success but still a low % failure rate on VVS+ unlike others where u hit a breaking point in guaranteeing 100% creation all the time. 

There are ONLY 2 ways to check your PTs.
If you forge a new VVS lvl 3 items - your total score is displayed.
If you get ranked you can see your score anytime by typing /blacksmith

it's also another thing to keep in mind when trying to get ranked. sucks :x
Point whore it I guess.

The alternative is refining the weps the smith made themselves and the main reason for failing:

1] Make any level 1 Weapon forged by a +10 weapon using Weapon Refine to gain 1 Forging Point
2] Make any level 2 Weapon forged by a +10 weapon using Weapon Refine t gain 25 Forging Points
3] Make any level 3 Weapon forged by a +10 weapon using Weapon Refine to gain 1000 Forging Points

two prong approach to get rankings :x

I think it was on line 9 of Forging Pure Elemental stones and Weapons or something, mentions on how it's all luck from there on out. Never did specify how or what makes the % failure calculation when forging, refine wise is another story.
Edited:
Forging VVS and VVVS gets you 10 points

i mustve misunderstood somewhere
sorry? o_o
