Trying to run NWN again.Presently I am using a Dwarf Fighter,I would like to have a better than +1 great-axe made. What component do I need? I have a diamond,a hunk of adamantite,and some fairy dust.I've torn apart three of the districts and the core city looking for Dragon Blood. I found Ironwood and had smith make me improved +1 dire mace (Big whoop.)What do I need to do to get a real nice Greataxe made? Someone please spoil me!

thanks in advance

If you talk to the blacksmith enough he will give you a book that describes everything he can make and what components are needed for all of them.

there should be NO problem finding dragon blood, i have THREE of them.

when you do the quest to save the dryad, if you look in the desk next to her cell, there is some dragon blood IIRC. i had to start a new game, because i forgot a bunch of stuff before i went to chapter two, so im ALL the way at the accademy again, so im playing as a human fighter wielding a greatsword, with a warhammer and shield for fighting undead. im gonna get the fairy dust, gargoyles skull, holy water, and dragons blood, and try to make an AWESOME weapon!! heh, hopefully. ill try that book thing too.

I found all the other ingredients except diamonds, I cant find any diamonds, where are all the diamonds, has anybody seen the diamonds.......................................... ....................

There's a diamond in the Docks district, I think in that house in the northeast corner of the district. (If you buy the map, it will be marked on your mini-map.)

Just a warning, none of the weapons that smith makes are awesome. They are a slight upgrade to the weapon you give him. For example, the greatsword adds 2 fire damage to the sword. The nice thing about this is you can use that great sword to bash the chests that are normally immune to weapons.

Yup. Thanks for telling me about the book, that (expletive deleted) marrok was always telling me I had nothing that he could do anything with.I got him to give me a book. I had him make me a Stonefire greataxe and a mace of disruption (which is really weak in comparison to the mace of disruption in BG2). Does anyone know if I'd get in trouble if I went back there and killed old marrokk off? Yah diamond is in Silver Salts Trading center in the docks area,bring a can of Raid.

andy you be wrong on alot of those items you can upgrade again later in the game but then you havent made it that far i guess.
you can get a diamond if you have a high persuasion(and charisma) if after doing the art theft quest for ophala in moonstone mask she will give you a diamond.

the diamond is great for making a chromatic armor breastplate(which i am currently using) it makes a +1 breastplate armor resistant to fire, ice, and electric by 15/- . i know terrible upgrade for such a common armor, just absolutly crappy.i mean not a single magic missle or and other spell even harms me. trap damage from those 3 are signifigantly reduced. you know your right you shouldnt upgrade anything its not worth the time and effort.

oh and most if not all large weapons can only be upgraded with adamantite(mostly) and on a couple of the larger ones with ironwood.

oh and another thing the 2 points of fire damge you get as a bonus is great when it is doubled or even tripled on a critical strike hit. my stonefire i got on a critical hit deals an extra 6 fire damage great against trolls.
