Call for a Smith

[Jet]

hello there, asking about the call for smith decision:

1. For armor as long as I dont have a plated armor or tier 3 Warden does that suffice for meeting the requirement? Or does this include necklace and bracelets?

2. For weapons do I need to get rid of the ceremonial sword, the actual sword, or both to summon the weaponsmith? I got 2k prestige ready to spend.

3. Can I gift my tier 3 equips to my heir, without fear of them being destroyed? Or since the new patch made it so heirs automatically equip whatever you have equipped at time of death....is there a chance whatever they currently have equipped (hopefully smart enough to choose my tier 3s) will be destroyed when I die, and they inherit my weaker equipment?

4. Far as I can tell there are 7 equip slots: bracelets, neck, ceremonial weapon, actual weapon, scepter, crown, and body armor. Is this right? Cant test them all yet

As a side note, is there any way for me to check the history of a weapon? I can see the original owner name, but idk who it is since you cant search dead characters

You cant have anything that the corresponding smith could craft...
So if you have a sword (t1 t2 or t3 it doesnt matter) you cant summon the weaponsmith..
Gift your stuff away and you can get yourself new weapons/armor/trinkets.

I think you can gift your t3 weapons to your heir and you will keep them on inheritance, but the risk is that your heir dies and as long as hes landless theres a chance his artifacts disappear afaik
I think these are the slots you have but lots of artifacts (esspecially the chinese ones) dont need a slot to equip (statues etc)

[Jet]

so the armor seems straightforward...afaik only one type of body armor slot exists. But for weapons does this apply to not only actual weapons but also ceremonial weapons? So I would need to gift away not only my longsword but also my golden sword?

likewise does the same apply for jewels: necklace and bracelets? or is it crown and scepters? or all?

[Jet]

wow so looks like so far im guessing its

jewels:
ceremonial weapons ala golden sword (wow)
bracelets
necklace

armor:
plate armor, warden and full body sets one slot ya

weapon:
longsword, mace etc. Just one slot to worry about just like armor it looks like.

[MrBonkers]

Yes ceremonial (sword , scepter, crown) and weapon (lance, sword, mace, axe) are the categories

Happen to know how to get bows? I dont see anything about how to acquire them on the wiki, nor is the option there beside lances, axes and swords under the smithy decision

[Azunai]

the weapon types are probably linked to culture(?). bows give bonus to mounted troops and more prestige than the other weapons, so i guess they would show up as an option for altaic nomads (and maybe also some others).
