Recipes Of The Forge

Overview

This is a transcription of the “Recipes Of The Forge” book from Chapter 1 of the original campaign of Neverwinter Nights. This is wholey C&P’d from the Wiki, and I do not claim to have written this myself. This is merely here for ease of use.

Introduction

Recipes of the forge is a book from the original campaign detailing what combinations of items can be used by Marrok to create new magical items. A similar book – called simply “Book” – is available for Barun Silverblade. (The ingredient combinations are the same, but the items created are more powerful.) Each recipe can be used only once by each player character (per chapter). Each book is freely given by its smith if the player inquires about the recipes.

Recipes

• Scales of Truth: Requires special holy water and a suit of magical armor of total AC:5.
• Whitebone Armor: Requires gargoyle skull and a suit of magic armor of total AC:3. (Like Marrok, Barun Silverblade mentions “Whitebone Armor” in his recipe book and in his conversation. But, the armor Barun forges from that recipe is called Silverbone Armor +2.)

Notes

• Although a component specified in the recipe book is referred to as “adamantite”, the true name of the item is adamantine.
• To qualify as “magical”, the base item requires at least one item property that is an enhancement bonus (including those versus race or alignment group), attack bonus (including those versus race, specific alignment, or alignment group), or armor class bonus. Temporary item properties do count (such as those produced by magic weapon and magic vestment), although this is likely unintentional as temporary item properties did not exist when the original campaign was released.
• “Total AC” includes both the base and bonus armor class of the armor.

Locations

The campaign provides only limited quantities of the special items used by these recipes. (In contrast, magical armor and weapons are available in unlimited quantities from stores, and they are often generated as random loot.) The following table lists the locations where each reagent can be found.
