I forgot at what point it was, but at some point the chances for it to explode went WAY up. I can't remember what point it was. I'm pretty sure wasn't a set double number either, like 7 7, but rather a combined total. Like 3 10, or 4 8. And I know you in the first and second ages you were able to enchant them a LOT more than you can now. Enchanting weapons was one of the things I liked to do because I felt like I was "good" at it but really I just sucked at PK so anything else that seemed like progress to me was entertaining. I made numerous weapons OVER 7 7, almost all of them large daggers from younglings.
Do you remember the sharpen skill, not forgecraft. I think sharpen was around for a long time but not everyone knew about it? Yes that's a question, mark. ;)
