Does it take 5 Romeo & Juliet scripts?

since it is 28% it would take 4 scripts to do the tries to get it to 100% and 1 more script to finish it.

Blacksmither's dont lose a script when they make it right?

I need more info on how blacksmithers do it, what disappears and needs more mats, or how long it's going to take, or if i can trust any of the r1 blacksmithers that lurk around bangor on mondays to help make ppl items that won't steal the shield o_o.

yeah i am just confused and need some info about these things, also if i use a copper ingot finish, the shield will turn out copper ish red right? idk

also if it's a shield in progress they cant trade it right?

since if its screwed up i have to go gather more mats and come back and such.

Yes, the script will disappear upon use, like any other item used within the manual.

Pretty sure in-progress items can be traded, but not specifically sure about Avon Shield.

I meant disappear as in a fail attempt at the blacksmith tries

well of course it will disappear but i mean do the tries disappear or would there be not enough #s or mats? you didnt really answer completely so idk

"do the tries disappear or would there be not enough #'s or mats?"

Huh? It's just like normal blacksmithing. When you fail, your materials disappear. If you succeed, your materials disappear.

So it only takes 4 scripts on monday + r1 blacksmithing + r1 rain casting + prod party??

and can u ingot finish to get a specific color??

Ah, I'm working on a shield myself and completely forgot about production parties! What confuses me is, you can use multiple scrips in the non-finishing stage to raise percentage? And I haven't tried to make one myself yet but I'm pretty sure it's still affected by Copper (Red), Silver and Gold ores. (I wish there was a finish for blue...)

You can affect the finishing product with the ingot of a respective color (Copper to red, silver to white/silver, gold to gold). Though I never heard of using multiple script to raise the percentage. Sounds wasteful. but The minimum amount of scripts is 4 should you make a success on each one, then one last final script to finish the shield.

With the best success rate with production parties, Monday bonus, rain casting, and blacksmith enhancements, you will use up 5 (4 for smithing, 1 for finishing). In short:

(Number of tries x 1 R&J Script) + 1 R&J Script = Total number of scripts

This counting if you fail, and whether or not you waste scripts while not getting the best success rates. Took me 5 tries cause I failed (with 89% success o.e). and then another one for finishing. I didn't use an ingot since i wanted to see the outcome. It was...rather lucky it came out blue and grey.

Use rank 1 blacksmith in full production party with harvest song bonus to maximize success. Took me 4 romeo books with the help of a GM Blacksmith.

A GM Blacksmith?

Think he means Grandmaster.
