My daily challenge this morning was so much fun! Well the actual doing it not the gathering the iron which I spent ages doing. Mine was make 16 steel ceremonial swords. Each one takes 40 iron ore and 80 coal to make (a regular steel sword takes like 2 iron and 4 coal sheesh.) I mined the iron, but had over 2,300 coal from when I bought 3 thousand when the price bottomed out hehe.
Making a ceremonial sword is AWESOME! I'd never done it before. You can only do it in this dwarf artisan's workshop and one of them gives you a plan and you have to try to make the sword as close to the picture as possible by using various strengths of hits (SMASH!) in a bunch of different spots. There seemed to be many different patterns of swords. :) I never got a 100% exact which gives you a bonus xp reward. My closest was 99%, but most of the ones I made were over 90%. :) Amazing smithing xp. :)
My mystery bag I got for turning in the challenge had 25 uncut dragonstones worth about 400k. :)
I spent four times as long mining as I did making them though and I'm not a fan of mining much anymore hehe. :S
One of the funnest DCs I've done. I also liked smithing the burial armor pieces led by an instructor in the same workshop. :)
edit: The screen looks like this when you start. :)
The strength choices on the left dent the ingot differently though it's random exactly what you get. It's sorta like a puzzle. The cooldown number is the number of hits you have left. All of the hits take 1 except careful which I hardly used and that one takes 2.
