Previously, you could choose which ceremonial sword you'd make.
Now, not only can you not choose which type of metal, OR which variant of that metal type, but it's a random event! You can't choose when, you can't choose what.

Do you know how likely it would be for me to get my desired ceremonial iron sword V mh/oh under these circumstances? Not very! :@

What's worse is that I don't intend to train the skill much more, if at all! I'm already 99 and I have already completed many 100's of ceremonial swords in the past. I can't recall.



Please make it easier to get desired swords. For example:

First option, allow you to choose which sword you're awarded upon completing a ceremonial sword random event.

Second option, allow swords to be downgraded to a sword of your choice.
I have plenty of rune ones, I'd happily trade for iron. Please and thank you.

fyi, I want to keepsake them for fashionscape! O_o

It's a known issue.

Hey, sorry this is still happening - we've had a go at cleaning this up previously but we weren't aware there were multiple instances of the issue occuring.

I've had another go today and we look to have identified what's causing it. To avoid it until fixed, when your sword finishes (the interface closes) make sure to progress through any dialog properly, rather than clicking out of it.

No update on when this fix could come out to you guys unfortunately, hope it's not too frustrating! :(

I support this.

Perhaps this could remain the random event it is, but each tier could be an unlock from the shop. So bronze ceremonial sword plan unlocks could cost 10 tokens, iron 20 tokens, etc.

When the random event appears, you would get the choice of metal that you've unlocked, and maybe or maybe not the choice of design I-V - this could still be the NPC request to fit the theme.

Maybe as a different approach: Rotate swords being smithed (in a similar way the orbs from telos or the crossbow parts from the ambassador do work) - The first sword you're smithing is random, but afterwards you'll get a different one you do not have so far each time. I think this also could help keeping the activity fresh for a tad bit longer by allowing players to see different things more often. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2
