despite the price and description, this is a fairly terrible choice, as it is a thoroughly average piece of heavy armour. Master Armourers only make heavy armour, however they do give some of the best heavy armour in the (non-campaign) game, with only the two best armours (the Scale Lorica, which can be found in the mystic circle, Odin's Cave and the "strange ruins", and the Bear Lorica) unavailable to them. A fairly good sword, bridging the gap between the Royal Sword and the Widow Maker. The most powerful bow in the game, it requires 4 power draw and does 28c damage base. Effective if you don't use a shield, but otherwise fairly useless.
A 2-handed axe called the "Woodcutter", unlike the Troll's Axe, requires only 11 strength, but deals 8 less damage (for a total of 42c).The worst result, as these can be found in most Viking loot piles, and so is a waste of 10,000 peningas. Their mystery choices (10,000 peningas each) are: The "Frankish Axe", the best 1/2-handed axe in the game, however it is still topped by the Goidelic champion sword, as neither can be used on horseback, but the latter has faster swing speed, more damage, and a longer weapon reach - and is still a 1/2-hander.The "Ray", the absolute best long spear in the game, with the best damage and weapon reach (though not the best speed).The "Widow Maker", the best non-unique 1-handed sword in the game.Master Weaponsmiths can give a good range of weapons, covering every weapon choice other than crossbows, shields and javelins. Either way, you easily make back the initial and monthly costs spent on them.

This allows an exploit, as you can either sell them cheap loot when each time they restock to make 2000-3000 peningas, or you can use them to upgrade you and your companions' equipment, then make back the money near instantly by selling them loot from nearby bandits (and as you can garrison any cheap bulk troops there, you can increase the loot value & amount by using only your elite troops to fight said bandits). Finally, you can also hire both types for your hideout when fully upgraded, and this allows guaranteed access to them.Īs your hideout is not part of the normal game economy, any weapons and armours sold to them will sell at their base value rather than the vastly reduced price they normally sell for. The cities of Bosvenegh and Caer Dyf are an alternative. The city of Scuin and Dun Breatann are the cities with the best proximity of both types of blacksmiths. They will generally have better quality and rarer weapons and armour than normal blacksmiths, but the player character must obtain at least 600 renown before they offer these items for sale. They can be found easily by checking the name of the blacksmith at the top of the trade screen when trading with the locals - if they are named, then they have these options available. When talking to them in towns, they will give you a few choices of specified weapons and armour, and then a choice of 4 random mystery items, ranging from incredible to something you could find in a loot pile. However, if you find them, they can craft certain weapons and armour that are impossible to find elsewhere.
To access their features, you need to find them by walking through town. These master smiths can be found by asking the host for the locations of any mead hall for a small fee or by searching every town.
Developers Brytenwalda (yes, that lot behind the eponymous mod) are patching away though, which is great because I hope continuous attention might well make this into a regular beauty.Ĭreated for single-player voyages and multiplayer mayhem, Viking Conquest will set you back about £8.99 right now, which doesn't seem like quite the ideal price to pay given its current state.Master Weaponsmiths and Armourers are a feature in Viking Conquest. The A.I seems to be atrocious too, although that may well just be the opinion of one person. The main complaint appears to be the staggering number of bugs present within the DLC, ranging from missing textures to issues with the interface. (Which I am.) But the Steam player reviews have rolled in and it looks like there are an unfortunate number of downward-pointing, disapproving-seeming thumbs. Especially if you're into the idea of having Vikings and British people butting heads. The elevator pitch sounds amazing, honestly. Replete with hundreds of cities to burn down and hundreds more people to bother, Viking Conquest promised a Dark Age Britain that is supposed to contain authentic scenes, scheming companions, bickering religious people, and.

Roughly a week ago, the lads behind the Brytenwalda mod released the Viking Conquest DLC for Mount & Blade Warband.
