Is the forging bugged?

[KING FROG]

I have the maximum level in crafting, I have unlocked all the skills but either the forging fails or I produce only level II swords.....why? And then the anvil does not show me the blade to beat

[orthostatic]

bug on some recipes which just so happen to be the ones you MOST WANT TO MAKE THE MOMENT YOU GET THEM

everyone sees this

Seems you don't forge properly, there's a ton of vids showing how to do it

Even in level 30 try drinking a Quick Finger Potion. I was only able to craft a level 4 balisard this way

I'm fairly sure some of the forges are bugged, I've had troubles forging a tier 4 cheap sword in some places when I'm trying really hard, but at other times in other places I rush through an expensive sword as fast as I can and I get a tier 4 easily. I like using the forge near the gunsmith in Kutternburg these days, it works well for me and I like the sound of the stream nearby as I work.

I've also encountered a bug where I finish the sword, the popup tells me it was tier 3, then when I open my inventory the sword is a tier 4 like I thought it should be.

I've seen some people say that if you have a low-tier version of the sword you're trying to make in your inventory already, the game can bug out and match the tier of that sword regardless of how well you do the forging. If you have a tier 2 dueling longsword in your inventory try selling it or sticking it in your stash before trying again, apparently that worked for some people.

At "only" level 20some every sword I've tried to forge was T4, except the Radzig one cause it can't

Take any level 3 or lower blades out of your inventory when you start. And even after it says you crafted a 3 or 2 check your inventory because you may actually have a 4

If in the animation the blade ends up under the anvil it becomes difficult to understand where to hit with the hammer, with the axes which are smaller it is even worse.
It's not my problem, it's the forging that's bugged

Yup there's a glitch on longswords, but you kinda knpw where's the blade and can forge to max level
With other weapons you see where you strike, if you miss that's on you

I’ve seen this bug only during the tutorial. The next time I made a longsword it was on top of the anvil.

Isn´t the lvlv 4 this master sigil? I thought when you craft a lvl 4 weapon it marked with this MJ intertwined sigl..

Yes some forges are bugged, just now in the Kuttemberg armorer's forge I got 2 M level swords

I had it the few times I've crafted a longsword (that's like 4 times), be it at Radovan's or somewhere else...
